Petawawa Dog Show -April 2013

We went to the Petawawa Dog Show April 12-14, 2013 with Shelamo Rais'n The Bar, Shelamo A Moment In Tyme and also showed Linda Howie's boy for her, Magennis Sea To Skye (a BPIS Ch Shelamo's Riding The Skye HIC, SDGC son)

We came home with a couple of Reserve Winners Female ribbons on "Raisin" and "Cocoa", and put points on Linda's boy "Sam".

OKC Show - Yoyo and Cocoa Do Us Proud

We attended the OKC show here in Ottawa this past weekend, after a hiatus this summer.  There are some new competitions, one being a Baby Puppy (pups 3-6 months of age), and a Bred By Exhibitor Competition (must be the breeder and the handler).

On the Friday we showed our baby puppy "Yoyo", and all three days in the classes our "Cocoa", and were proud at how they did.

News At Shelamo

Our baby girl, Yoyo, from our "Chinook" litter is off to her new home.  Here's her add on Sheltie Strut.  Here's hoping she's all Penny has had dreams of.

And our girl "Cocoa", Shelamo A Moment Of Tyme, went off to the Belleville show on the Friday, just before turning a year of age and was Reserve Winners Female in the 1st show, then followed up with more wins, especially a Best Puppy In Group in the afternoon show.  Thank-you to judge Mr. M. Bouchard for your lovely comments on our girl.

Happy Birthday "Opal"!!!

Sorry "Opal" something went wrong with the scheduling of your Birthday wishes yesterday - know you enjoyed basking in the sunshine ....

We're celebrating another birthday!  "Opal" turns 14 today (dob May 21, 1998).  A reminder of how time flies, and how much we've accomplished through her.  We are now working on 5 generations deep through her kids.

The newest ones are MBPIS BPISS Ch Shelamo Flash Forward, and our 6 month old Shelamo A Moment Of Tyme that just placed 2nd in her Jr Puppy Class at our CSSA National last week.

She's now deaf, has scared more than one person trying to wake her when she's been in a deep sleep, however is more than wide awake when food is present!  Needless to say, "Opal's" past time is to be a mini vacuum, checking crates for left overs and making a tour of the kitchen floor & table area to see if Mike just happened to drop any tidbits when cooking meals.  She's got a good right paw 'hook' too, if you don't pay enough attention to her.

She has been the best whelper and mother to the pups she's raised; couldn't have asked for anything better.  She made our lives raising her pups so easy.  She is what we breeder's call an 'easy keeper'.

Happy Birthday, "Opal", enjoy your (same) day with Mike.

 Am sure this is how she'll spend her day :)

CSSA National 2012

We had the pleasure of attending our CSSA National 2012 in Ancaster, Ontario this past week and we were very pleased with the placement of our dogs.

The first to be shown was our Shelamo A Moment of Tyme in the Junior Puppy Class.  This was her 1st show at just over 6 mths of age and was awarded 2nd place in a competitive class.  This was a special win, a special moment, as I'm sure her dam Ch Shelamo Tyme Descends whom we had to say good-bye to in January was looking down.

We had so many ring side comments on this girl, I thank you.

Then it was our Shelamo She's Got Moxi's turn in the Open Black class where Kim Wendling stepped in for me. Here are some candid photos I was able to take.

"Moxi" in the line up - Hi there judge, what ya got?!

Coming at ya ...

is that chicken for me?!  I'm baiting Kim!

"Moxi" wins her class!

 And not least in Specials our Ch Shelamo Riding The Wind made the 1st cut in the bitches.  She's also a Ch Shelamo Tyme Descends daughter.

At the very end of the National, there are various Parades, one being the Veterans which I do believe there needs to be tissue boxes put out around the ring.  I had the honour of show casing Ch Shelamo's Sure Fire CGN, CD, RE for owner Judy Flanigan.  "Amber's" brother BPIS Am/Cdn Ch Shelamo's Prospector was also to be exhibited, however we didn't have enough room to bring him with us.  Thanks to Evelyn Susin for taking this lovely shot of the two of us.  Judy you should be so proud of the accomplishments you put on the end of her name especially her #22 sheltie 2011 Rally ranking with her at 11.5 yrs of age.

There was one other sheltie there - it did forget to read our standard tho:).  Linda James & her husband of Ravenscourt sheltie did an awesome job of this sheltie topiary that was front and center at the show.  It went up for auction which raised a lot of money for the National, I'm just not sure what size of crate it needed to get home!  Just might have to invite Linda & her husband here for a week to make one for us:)

Great week, enjoyed seeing some very lovely dogs, (believe I found a great mate for "Moxi") friends in shelties that come from afar that we only see every few years, and a congrats to the host club for putting on a well run event.

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!
