Fraser...5 months old

Thank you to Brittany Newby for taking Fraser for the weekend while I was gone and also taking some much needed updated pictures of him! You rock!!

Fraser had a great time running on the beach with all of Britt's dogs. Love this front shot of him!

She attempted a stacked shot. Pretty good for an untrained wiggly puppy!

He later on had fun with the chuck it!

Back home with double bones to chew!

2010 BCSA Nationals...

I just got back from the BCSA nationals at Purina Farms in Gray Summit, MO. I am happy to announce that Vogue, GCH CH Pawcific Strike A Pose, came home with Select Bitch at the nationals, thanks to breeder judge Kathie Kinton from England. I am honored to have shown Vogue to this fabulous win as a breeder, owner, handler. Thanks to her co-owner Jeanette for letting me campaign her this year, to my wonderful Mom and Sister who are currently on their way back home from driving the dogs back and forth to nationals, and most importantly to the people who helped make this litter happen. I am proud of breeding such a lovely bitch, who is only 3 years old and just at the start of her show career. This winter, Vogue will be bred for her first litter if all goes well. Jeanette has agreed to have the litter at her house. We are still debating who to breed her too.

On another note...my puppy Edward, Hilltop's Breaking Dawn came home with 4th in his big sweepstakes class. Jenny showed Morgan, her veteran bitch, to Best Veteran Bitch at the national. And also showed a relative of ours, GCH Bonnidune Autumn Thunder, Fury to first AOM at the Regional Specialty on Sunday. He is a grandpup of Haze, Vogue's mother. Congrats to his owners Kelly Whiteman and Carol Clark!

Sparky Q's at the AKC herding trial in AZ!!

Sparky picks up 2 qualifying scores in both Sheep and Ducks in Started this past weekend with his trainer Dawna Sims. I am so proud of my boy! On Sunday he pulled off a 4th place in Ducks as well. Thank you Dawna for training and taking care of my boy! I hear that his children are going to be stars in the herding arena as well. I can't wait!
