Nice Kingston Dog Show Weekend

Marylou and I attended the Kingston dog show this past weekend and had a great time.  Couldn't ask for better weather, even tho it threatened to rain on our parade Sunday afternoon.  Nope, it rained there a bit before, but then cloudy and the sun came out at the end.

It was nice to see a large entry of 19 shelties.  Numbers have been so low in our area for, at least, the last year.  We had as many females in competition as we have had in the whole breed.

Our girls did great!  Shelamo Bedazzle our 16 wk old puppy had fun competing Saturday & Sunday for Best Baby Puppy In Show.

Happy Birthday "Rocky" & "Amber"!!!

A BIG HAPPY BIRTHDAY "ROCKY and "AMBER"

born January 31, 2000

On this date, 13 years ago Shelamo's Party Pack ROMC brought 6 pups into the world.  Of those, 3 would be Canadian Conformation Champions, one a Best Puppy In Show winner, one an American Champion, and champions in more than one way.

"Rocky" from a pup was always my best bud.  He'd sit as a pup on the back of my legs as I knelt preparing a fire during the cold nights; giving me attention and eye contact at an early age, allowed me to show train him at about 4 months of age at our busy airport as we waited for Mike to arrive (everyone had to stop and say hi to him); was a joy to show as a pup garnering our first Best Puppy In Show with a Best of Breed and Group 4th, the day of tough competition at the OKC November show; becoming one of Purina's Champions in their competition across Canada in 2001; traveled to Florida for a good 6 months, and became a bud with Dr. Sherry Lee while she showed him in the tough show circuits on the eastern seaboard, quickly obtaining his American Championship, and has made anyone showing him smile with easy going temperament.

He has been our main Ambassador here at Shelamo.

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.

Ronas Hill Kraker-jak UD

Remembering - if it were not for my best bud, Kraker-jak, I'm not sure where I'd be today.  He taught me so much about the friendship we gain from dogs, and how each one teaches us something new in life.

With the recent passing of Barbara Ann Scott, who started her skating career at the Minto Skating Club, it brought to mind that, that is where I 1st started skating too, and there came a point I had a decision to make - I might have been 12 yrs or so, that either I continue skating or take the next obedience lesson as the class nights conflicted.  Guess what I chose?

One of my fav pics - many Sunday's the family would take a walk around Pink Lake in our Gatineau Hills

 Amazing once taught 'take it, hold it, give it' what we'd ask him to do!

 

 One of his last high jumps for his UD before he became ill

This is the 1st picture taken of the two of us.  Taken in 1967 by Jeanne White of the Ottawa Journal for an article on the Bytown Dog Obedience Club's very 1st Puppy Kindergarten class.

I am proud to say that I was the 1st youngest to ever go from the BDOC Puppy Kindergarten class to obtaining our Utility Degree.

 Am sure he is still by my side, guiding me with every class I teach.

More Titles - Indie & Travis

More titles for our Shelamo Dogs!

Owners Chantelle & Eric hare having a blast with these two boys.


"Travis" did so well in his Herding Instincts test in April the evaluator recommended they pursue the sport.  He's now a Therapy Dog and the goal is to work in the community.

And then there's the younger boy "Indie"who turns 2 today!  Happy Birthday!

 Shelamo Code Name Spitfire ADC SGDC

In just 4 trials he earned both his Starters titles in agility,  They say his learning ability is just stunning, shaping behaviours in under 5 minutes.  He's done a "Canine Nosework" class and did so well that they've started a Tracking class.  He's also working in obedience with the goal of getting ready to enter Rally O and Obedience trials.

WOW!  Just makes me tired thinking about all this guy (and owner) do!  Sure not a dull moment :)

His CKC name couldn't have suited him more!

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

Sheltie Strut ~ Shelamo New Ads

We're pleased to have our MBPIS BPISS Ch Flash Forward as the Cover Page for Sheltie Strut this coming week.
Our Shelamo dogs have done well this past year, in both conformation & the performance arena. You'll also find this advertisement in the Performance section.
These 3 Shelamo shelties are all owned, and were trained & handled by Judy Flanigan this past yr. I take my hat off to her for all her efforts in trailing 3 dogs this past year and achieving the rankings she did in not only Shelties but overall in Ontario & Canada. From what I can see, no other person achieved such high standards on 3 dogs this past year in Rally.

Interestingly all 3 dogs are descendent through our Shelamo's Party Pack ROMC.

In February check us out in the Feature Breeder's Corner!

Gryphon Wins BIG

Huge CONGRATS to Linda Howie and her boy Gryphon. On May 19th, he achieved his Expert Standard Bronze Agility title, also earning him his VBA, or Bronze Versatility Award. Now I'm not up on all the requirements for these titles, but am told that for the 1st one the dog has to have 10 Q's in the master standard runs, and for the VBA needs 10 master standard runs & 25 master games ... that's a lot of running in my opinion! And he did it in the semi-dark.

Linda & Gryphon with the judge
this boy turns 11 this fall!
