Celebrating 2023
2023 is coming to an end, but what a year it has been. January 2023 started with Gregory becoming a Grand Champion and Latte becoming a Champion. Gregory moved to Hawaii and Latte is in Alaska. I had a lovely litter of puppies to enjoy from Chica, and one of them, Tristan, completed his Championship from the puppy class with two specialty majors and a win under a well respected Collie breeder. He is a fun dog and the two of us also completed the his Farm Dog Certification.
Chica made me proud by also earning her championship in very short order. I was surprised at how fast she finished, but she loves to show and that makes it fun for everyone.
Granby came within 4 points of becoming a new champion. Zachary also surprised me one weekend when he was Best of Breed over many champions for a 4 point major. We will see what fun we can have next year with these two.
I showed dogs for other people as well and I won with them too. Many Acadia shelties earned titles in performance and I am always proud of them.
I was voted in as President of the Northwestern Connecticut Dog Club, Inc and I hope I can both enjoy this position and also elevate pure-bred dogs in Litchfield County. I have lots of ideas. 2023 was a good year!
