What shelties are Thankful for

 A Vizsla free day!  The day after Thanksgiving and Mike and Rosie are going to the farm for a weekend trip.  The shelties LOVE when Rosie goes on vacation because that means everyone gets chew toys!! 

Rosie usually gathers all of the chew toys together and won't share.  It is difficult to manage everyone's chewing pleasures when she is here, so the first thing I did when they drove out the driveway was break out the chew toys.   They got to choose from large carrots, rawhides and braided bully sticks.

The carrots were a favorite and they went the fastest.  The shelties love a vizsla free staycation.

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"-  Ch. 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:
