I’ve spent more time being able to work at agility with our ‘Ruffles’, Shelamo Walk On Bi. Covid has provided me with the time and ability to enjoy this outdoor sport with several classmates. We’ve obtained 2 Q’s towards our starters jumpers. My first ever agility Q’s!</p><p>I was also able to teach Ruffles A bit of water safety, pool entry, and blowing bubbles while bobbing for treats thanks to Linda’s pool and the hot summer days </p><p>I’ve helped breed and whelp two litters this spring, enjoyed outdoor socializing them, and doing puppy pics.</p><p>I’ve still been teaching dog obedience with the City of Ottawa however the fall course has now been cancelled due to moving back to a modified stage 2.

Another year ended with my dog obedience classes at the Ron Kolbus Lakeside Center in Ottawa. Great fun was had by all.<br />
<br />
The Level 2/3 class is progressing very well as dog's are doing sit/down stays with their owners out of sight; heeling off leash; distracted recalls along with drop on recalls.<br />
<br />
Level 1 students saw their abilities for over all control improve; we worked on sitting while being greeted and walking nicely on a lead. We also found time for play sessions, which was especially good for the large breeds to learn how to play nice with the small breeds. Little Chico taught the large breeds a lot!<br />
<br />
Classes commence back for the 21st year, on January 14, 2015 for a full 10 week course. You can check the info out at <a href="http://join.ottawa.ca/" target="_blank">join.ottawa.ca</a>.<br />
<br />
Come out and teach your dog how to be a good neighbour, how to socialize with different breeds; learn how to maintain better control of your dog in all kinds of various situations; some health tips, like preventing snow balls in their feet in the coming months - oh joy! and if nothing more spending one on one time with your dog, indoors (in a safe environment) for one hour a week. It may just be the work out you and your dog are looking for.<br />
<br />
Parking is free! and so are the extra treats :)!<br />

Gijon, Spain, December 1, 2014 </div>
We wish all our sheltie friends, and our new found ones in Spain, a Merry Christmas and a great, and prosperous New Year!<br />
<br />
Happy training! and may Santapaws be good to all of you.<br />

It wasn't without a lot of paperwork through the vets & CFIA, airline planning, and overall timing to get her there, but we did it.<br />
<br />
On November 28th, I flew with Dazzle from Ottawa, to Toronto; Toronto to Frankfurt, then on to Madrid. From there the new owner picked me up and we had more than a 4 hour drive north to a small town, Salas, in the Province of Asturias. I think Dazzle had more room to stretch out, and time to sleep than I did. She arrived bright and alert and more than ready for her new adventure.<br />
<br />
I traveled with only a carry on - went through 3 security checks - almost like disrobing each time, with the 3rd one in Frankfurt being patted down and having my hair gel taken away :( Anyone that knows me, this was like having my arm cut off :)! A lot of walking, especially through the Frankfurt airport. Man that is a big place! <br />

Home from our tour on the Monday, I was 'screeched in', only in the Spanish way! It's an apple wine, poured from the bottle into a wide glass at a distance, and you drink it in one go. It was SO tasty, I asked for a second glass.<br />
<br />
Ana's mom enjoyed the Ice Wine I brought. We enjoyed the tastes that are special to each of us.<br />
<br />
Tuesday, saw us traveling back to Madrid as I was leaving early on the Wednesday morning, traveling the same route back home.<br />
<br />
It was certainly a fast trip, and bitter sweet. <br />

<br />
We are hoping for the pitter patter of little paws come the new year ... Dazzle just did everything right, including coming into season while I was there!<br />
<br />
We wish Ana the best of luck with Dazzle in not only producing pups that she can carry on with, but also as an agility star once (hopefully) motherhood is over with. <br />

<br />
Remembering, this past weekend BPIS Am/Cdn Ch Shelamo's Prospector left his mark on our world, and through him, his daughter MBPIB Ch Shelamo Tyme Descends.<br />
<br />
<br />
Little did I know how events would come full circle last year.<br />
<br />
Back around 1980 my parents would travel to one of our local towns, Almonte, on their Honda Gold Wing 1000 and would visit the Dodd's antique shop. Dad tried to buy an antique clock from <a href="http://kevindoddsart.com/?page_id=7" target="_blank">Kevin,</a> as a young boy, but no way! Through the years they watched him come into his own as an acclaimed artist.<br />
<br />
All of the personal stories mom and dad would tell, I really wasn't aware of the connection they had had with him for so many years. Just knew who he was by some of the paintings we had at home, and the one my mom bought me years ago with a tri sheltie in it, called "Heading Home".<br />
<br />
It was in the late fall of 2011 that I went with friends and my mom to a local Christmas Craft fair, and time was spent chatting with Kevin at his booth (mostly mom catching up on their lives). There was a painting he had there that he indicated he was working on, and he wanted a moving sheltie in it. Well ....little did he know then that he was talking to a breeder of shelties! So I offered to find a few of my shelties on the move for him to work with.<br />
<br />
After a long waiting period for me, he finished one of his more intricate paintings in the fall of 2013.<br />
<br />
Mom and I met up with him at the Carp Fair in Sept 2013. There he had the original painting! It wasn't until this point that the connection of me (my business card had my married name) being the daughter set in.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
What ended up happening ? ..... the original is now proudly displayed in our home.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
With the new rules this is the 1st dog we've had the opportunity to put this title on. This is the 1st for her American sire, and 1st for her dam.<br />
<br />
This past weekend we showed 2 days at SD&G down near Upper Canada Village, and added another Select and Best of Breed/Puppy Breed.<br />
<br />
Her 'mom' Marylou showed her the first day at SD&G. <br />

<b><i>SHELAMO'S PARTY PACK ROMC</i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(May 21, 1998 - July 13, 2014)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It is with a heavy heart that we said good-bye to our dear "Opal" late Sunday evening. She told it was time she crossed the bridge, so we peacefully helped her.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She was the foundation of most of our sable lines, producing either herself or through her kids many Best Puppy In Show winners, Reserve Best In Show winner, American Champion, class winner at the ASSA National, and many obedience and agility titled offspring. She was our first Register of Merit Canadian, with 6 Canadian Champion offspring. Maybe the best of all, is the pleasure her kids have given to our oh so many clients.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She was the best 'easy keeper' a breeder could have. An easy whelper of 5-6 pups in each litter and the greatest of mothers. She always wanted to please, even when the days came that her hearing went.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Mike and I will miss her wanting her bum rubs, her ears that never left the top of her head, and reminding us when cookies were due.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

OH MY!!! Had Mary-Anne only know when she walked out the door with Ebony and offered to help groom any time, what an impact she would have made on us and our kennel .... all the delivery nights, puppies she's socialized, dogs she's trained for the show ring (telling me I had to use a high show show voice!), helping at dog shows over the yrs, handling a Special's male at a DC&SSA in 2004 with laryngitis, and especially many Purina National Dog Shows, like this one in 2008!<br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span class="userContent">Flicka search update. Wish I had good news
that she has been found, however a lot of searching, talking, walking
thru fresh snow fields, analyzing paw prints in the snow, asking her 1/2
brother Harley to move thru snow, go up hills of snow (to compare tracks),<span class="text_exposed_show">
all in an effort to figure out her paths and where she could hide out,
find food, make animal friends, and keep warm. Pictured is just one barn
we checked out. A good warm place to stay! A night motion sensor has
been relocated. Thanks to Susan, Anne & hubby 'muffin', Michelle, Karin, Peter and bud Piper, and Marylou with Harley for their efforts today.</span></span></span><br />

All the classes held there are asked to put on a short demo so the community can see/hear what is happening. I had 7 dogs that participated in an obedience demo that I was proud of how they all performed. It also gives a good opportunity for the kids to meet different dogs and learn how to properly approach and pet these dogs. Kudos to my students for keeping this training in the forefront as they made their way around the building.<br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><u><b>STILL MISSING!</b></u></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

SEARCHES CONTINUE ON AN ONGOING BASIS. THE COLD, WIND AND SNOWY CONDITIONS HAVE HAMPERED A LOT AND GIVEN THE TERRAIN OF FARMS/FIELDS/BUSH IT IS EVEN HARDER.<br />
<br />
PLS CONTINUE TO SHARE! SPREADING THE WORD.<br />
<br />
On Jan 19 2014 one of our sheltie owners lost her life in a car accident near Low, Quebec on Hwy 105.<br />
<br />
Flicka fled the scene, police did some searching but couldn't find her. There have been some flyers & searching by family members to this point.<br />
<br />
Here are some recent pics I've received from a family member. We need some sightings to try and capture her! She may hunker down with it being SO cold right now; watch for tracks in the snow, and even brown fur on low bushes .... all signs can help follow her.<br />

Great two classes with a good number of students! Here are a few pics of Graduation night; with a special presentation.<br />
<br />
We had a young girl that came with her father who was training their dog, and with a few extra dogs we bring, this young girl wanted to participate and learn in her own way too. So the experienced Harley was one she would work with. She did as well as any of the adults in ensuring she did the exercises right, and made sure even the experienced Harley didn't make a mistake.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
She also helped to leash/show train an up and coming 6 months old of mine, plus helped leash train a young puppy.</div>
