New ROM !! Ch. Acadia Opinion Provided, ROM

 Chica is now a Register of Merit (ROM).  This designation is for females who have produced 5 or more Champion offspring and males who have produced 10 or more champions.   Chica is the first ROM for Acadia although others have come close. 

Ch. Sunburst Acadia Here I Come, "Carrie", should have been my first.  She produced 4 champions, 1 additional son with 12 points, 1 major (1 major short of the championship), and another daughter with a major.  Six show winners in all, but only 4 champions.   While she did not achieve the ROM status, Carrie is the anchor of my breeding program which consists of 9 consecutive generations of champion girls on the tail-female line.  This line is on Carrie's Page and Dove's page.  

Chica is the 8th consecutive generation of Champion girls. Her father is "Aidan"-  GCh. Acadia's Stage Director and her mother is the Best In Show winner, Century Club member, GChS. Acadia Stage Presence, CC.  

Chica is the mother of:

NEW CHAMPION *Ch* Acadia Gregarious

It's True!!  

 Jerry and Linda Gallo came to visit the puppies when they were about 6 weeks old.  I just loved this puppy, and he was so gregarious- he named himself.  I started calling him Gregory at a very young age. He went up to everyone and wanted to be pet, picked up, or just loved.

I noticed that Jerry was wearing this Champion shirt and I said- how fortuitous! 

Gregory finished the championship yesterday at the Western Mass. Shetland Sheepdog Specialty show winning another 5 point major.  This puppy finished in 4 shows all from the 6-9 puppy class.  His first points was a 5 point major win when he was 6 months and 6 days.  His last was a 5 point specialty major two weeks before he turns 9 months.  

I have never had a puppy finish the championship.  Typically my shelties finish around 3 years of age- Lolo just finished at age 5.

Acadia Gregarious

 

Gregory has been doing great at the shows.  At his first all-breed show, when he was 6 months and 6 days, he won a 5 point major.  This past weekend he won another 5 points.  He is 8 months old and 2/3 of the way to the championship.  I am so proud of him.  

More than one judge has commented, "he is a beautiful puppy."- even a judge which gave him a second place at a specialty said to me is a "beautiful baby boy".  Gregory is an active and happy puppy.  I would like him to finish the championship soon and then I am going to figure out what else he would like to do.  I am thinking I would like to  have his herding instinct tested.  I think he might like that best.  First things first- I am excited about this puppy.
