Grand Ch Shelamo Carbon Copy

We are thrilled to announce that a weekend ago we obtained the Canadian Kennel Club Grand Championship on our 11 month old Ch Shelamo Carbon Copy with a Select Bitch, a Best of Opposite and a Best Puppy In Group.

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.

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.

Her 'mom' Marylou showed her the first day at SD&G.

 In the breed ring on last day.

We stopped at Upper Canada Village thinking we'd do photos but it was awfully hot/humid.  We did get a few shots of her, watching a flock of Canada Geese that decided to take flight.  Not an easy task trying to avoid what they'd left behind.

Ch Shelamo Rais'n The Bar

We finished our girl at just over a yr of age from our Am/Cdn Ch Reinnmaur's Firecracker ROMC x Shelamo Seriously Sinful litter

with Raisin down near Cornwall, Ontario

Shelamo Man on A Journey CGN, RN, RE, PCD left for great things in the spring with new owner Judy Flanigan and in less than 6 months put all those titles on him, with only 1 more to go for his RNA!  CD trials, and a few agility trials are planned for early this yr.

I hear his bouncy, fun attitude makes many ringside admirers laugh!

We continue to cherish the days we have with Shelamo's Party Pack ROMC

who will turn 16 this spring.

Our fall was a hard one to swallow

11 wk old BiBlack Male Available

We have a 11 week old BiBlack male available from our recent litter.  He will mature around 14".  He is up-to-date on his shots and is crate trained.  He's got loads of spunk, attitude and a friendly, zest for life.  He would do well in a performance style home, or a very active, knowledgeable sheltie family.  He certainly won't be a couch potato :)

Thanks Giving weekend we started to take them outside on the grass - it was so lovely for them to learn to run and experience new things!

It is so neat to see puppy advancement in movement, abilities, and exploration from 5 wks on.

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.

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

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.
