Show Prospect Puppy for sale- SOLD

This boy is VERY nice. He is in the middle of the growth chart. I am keeping his sister, and since I just bought a male, I do not need him. This is a good opportunity for someone. I want him to go to a home where he will be a house dog and gets lots of attention and socialization.

New Name? Heart Lake Acadia Le Roi de Coeur

"Charlie" as he will be known to most people. Le Roi de Coeur means "King of Hearts" in French. It is believed that Charlemagne (Charles the Great in Latin) was depicted on the King of Hearts card. So, Charlie it is, and he shares his father's name. Let's hope that his reign at Acadia is equally as successful.

MACH3 Acadia Color of Passion, HSAs- earns Reserve High in Trial (herding) on ducks

"Molly" earned her first TWO Herding Started legs on ducks going Reserve High In Trial BOTH days! Molly is pictured herding sheep in an earlier blog entry and pictured herding ducks on the "fun pictures" page of the website www.acadiashelties.com . Pam reports that flapping ducks gets Molly very excited, but that these ducks did not flap- enabling Molly to concentrate on her work and get the job done! One more leg will give Molly the HSAd (Herding Started, A course, ducks) title.
This same weekend "Molly" got to participate in a herding demonstration. She actually had to go into a pond and SWIM to bring the ducks back to shore. This sort of "down and dirty" work is exactly what "Molly" thrives on.
