Black to Go Please!

Fun and enjoyable weekend at the Petawawa Dog Show. It was a Timmies weekend you might say, and thank-you to those that did the constant runs.

We took out our Bi-Black girl Shelamo She's Got Moxi. She is now getting the hang of showing! Proud to say she came away with a RWB one day and yesterday Winners Bitch, under a judge I respect - Dr Robert Smith from Va, USA. We've shown 2 dogs to him 2 other times - one was when he gave our BPIS Am/Cdn Ch Shelamo's Prospector a reserve at one of his 1st US shows handled by Dr Sherry Lee in 2002,

"Rocky" at just 21/2 yrs of age - was already a BPIS Cdn Ch
he finished in just 13 shows in the competitive Eastern US circuit

and the other was in 2009 with our MBPIB Ch Shelamo Riding The Wind taking a 4pt win against 10 other females

Ruffeith's CC Revivial - "Revil" @ 12 wks

Penny dropped over yesterday afternoon to capture pictures of "Revil" at 12 wks of age. We prayed the skies would not rain on us.

This little munchkin went with us for Easter dinner (my sister asked us to bring that "Rocky like puppy" we had) and he got to play with her boy. In doing so, they ran thru her dry/dirty gardens. Needless to say his legs were a bit dirty, but with a quick cleaning and fluffing, here he is.

He just started his leash & 'show show' training yesterday too. He's already got pretty good focus I'd say.

He's co-owned with Penny of Ruffleith.

This is "Revil" @ 10 wks - caught doing his hip-pity hop - which he LOVES to do!

Given "Revil's" pedigree, and his personality, this is what I'm seeing in this guy, even tho we're talking close to 12 years of working within various lines.

PS .. she tells me she has a few more good ones!

A New Boy At Shelamo

Mucho thanks to Ruffleith shelties - Penny Woodruff - we will be co-owing this sweetie! He's just a doll. Very outgoing, always at my feet, gotta do what I'm doing, even if it's pick-up potty time :) He's reminding me so much of what our "Rocky" was as a puppy.

here he's doing a chase in the fields after our tri girl Disco (out of our Gralochs Blueberry Tart)

Pups Growing Up

On March 31st with friends Marylou & Janet we packed up several dogs and headed to the Ottawa Kennel Club's 2nd Sanction Match of the year.

It was a fun day, show/ring training Journey & Cocoa. Cocoa's sister Mocha went along for more experience being around all different breeds. Shelamo She's Got Moxi honed her skills, taking a Group 1st again, with Cocoa taking Best Puppy In Group.

just over 3 months of age Shelamo Man On A Journey shows he's going to have fun with this!

I'm showing mom! Glad you're smiling!
