SSC of Greater Baltimore Best In Sweeps March 16

>> Sunday, March 18, 2007 – conformation

I had a lovely time judging Sweepstakes for the SSC of Greater Baltimore, Inc. on March 16, 2007. I had a nice entry of 29 puppies and the winter storm that decided to blow in this weekend only kept a few of them at home. I had lovely puppies to choose from and my choice for Best in Sweeps went to a lovely bitch from the 12-18 month old class Darmil Twice Kissed sired by Jade Mist Destination x Ch. Jade Mist Time After Time. She was bred by Heidi Jacobson and Carol Howell and is owned by Heidi Jacobson. She was shown by Jennifer Milani.

Runner up to Best in Sweeps also came out the 12-18 month puppy bitch class and was the lovely Sunebank Tickle Me Pink sired by Ch. Shamont Back to Basics x Sunebank Caerleon On Fifth bred and owned by Wendy Mount and Carolyn Vack. She was shown by Zana Friend.

I had a great time and the to the exhibitors- thanks for bringing me nice puppies and to the club, thank you for asking me to judge and for your Wonderful hospitality!

Champions listed for March

>> Tuesday, March 13, 2007 – Agility, brags, conformation, Genna, Molly

How exciting to go to Bob Miller's listing of the March 2007 AKC Awards http://www.barloshelties.com/ and see that Acadia Shelties are the first two listings- MACH3 Molly and Ch. Genna. Looking at the pedigrees you can see that Molly's mother, Tucket, and Genna's father, Jamie, are littermates. I was proud of Molly and Genna at the time of their accomplishments and I am proud of them all over again seeing them listed on this site.

>> – Everything else

Ch. Acadia's Rare Treat has had a beautiful litter of six for her new owners at Starlight Shelties, Rachel and Filaberto. They are very excited about this litter. They report that all of the puppies are beautiful, healthy, happy and that Anna is a great mom. We are thrilled for them and hope that there is at least one really special puppy in this litter that will become the next champion for Starlight shelties and provide them with a strong pedigree to build on.

Jewel Has a New Family

>> Tuesday, February 20, 2007 – great pets

Jewel has found a new family to love and spoil her. She loves attention and is happy to have 4 new people to rub her belly and cuddle. Jewel is a very special dog and would like to suggest to her new family that she would also be perfect for those in need such as children with disablities, shut-ins, or the elderly and she thinks that giving back to the community though love and caring is the best way to be a valued member of society.

Ewe Win Katahdins & Acadia Shelties

>> Thursday, February 1, 2007 – Herding

We raise registered Katahdin sheep in addition to the shelties. Katahdins come in all colors and although the majority of ours are white, I enjoy the various colors- solid brown being my favorite. We don't normally bring the sheep into the house, but this little ram lamb needed a little extra assistance, so I took the opportunity to take a picture of him and one of Jewel's babies. The puppies are 7 weeks old today.
