Katie

Windypine Hotline To Heaven CD RS-N NAC AX AXJ CGC x CH Moorea's Midnight Masqurade HT CGC

Katie is a dark red tri with great side movement, a pretty down and back and an easygoing temperament. 
She was entered in her first conformation match at 5 months and won the 4-6 month class.  It was her first time in the ring atmosphere and she handled it like a champ.

Katie showed at her first All Breed AKC shows in November 2003 at 10 months of age.  She went Winners Bitch all three days from the Bred By Exhibitor class, went Best Of Winners on Saturday and went Best Of Breed Bred By Exhibitor on Sunday.  All earning her first two points toward her championship. 

  • September 2004, Katie wins Best Bred By Exhibitor again and a Bred By Exhibitor Group 4 win!
  • November 14, 2004, shows one day & wins Bred By Exhibitor class again.
  • March 2005 - Raleigh NC All Breed Tarheel Circuit, Katie wins Bred By Exhibitor class all five days she is shown.
  • November 2005 - Fayetteville KC & Lumberton KC, wins Bred By Exhibitor class

She is beginning obedience, rally and agility lessons and seems to love them.  Katie had her first introduction to sheep herding at a 2-day herding seminar with Jim Hartnagle in November 2004. On New Year's Day 2005, we got together with some friends and practiced some herding.  Katie really got into it and did a fabulous job.  We expect her to be very versatile in all of these areas.

  • Katie earns her Herding Tested title 10-02-05!

Abby seems to be the most outgoing puppy of the three we see regularly from our litter. We nicknamed her "the thinker" at the young age of 3 weeks.  You can see the wheels turning all the time. She entered her first conformation match at 5 months and did well, placing 3rd in the 4-6 month class.

  • November 12-14, 2004 - Abby shows in her first AKC All Breed show and wins Bred By Exhibitor class first two days and takes second to her sister Katie on the third day.
  • March 2005 - Raleigh, NC AKC All Breed Tarheel Circuit - Abby takes second to her sister Katie all five days in the Bred By Exhibitor Class.
  • October 2005 - Abby earns a qualified run toward her Herding Tested title 10-02-05

    Abby has lots of play drive and is excelling at her obedience, rally and agility training.  We introduced Abby to sheep on New Year's Day 2005.  She was a natural and very confident! She's proving to be as agile and versatile just like her father & mother!


Abby a bit FIRED UP!
