New ROM !! Ch. Acadia Opinion Provided, ROM

>> Thursday, November 14, 2024 – Aiden, Chica, Gregory, Liza, meet the family, Trestle, Tristan

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:

GChB Acadia Gregarious, BCAT

Ch. Acadia Peggin Iced Latte, RA, PT, OJP, FDC, VCX

Ch. Acadia Trusted Opinion, FDC

Ch. Acadia Everyone's Opinion

Ch. Peggin Acadia Breve, PT, RN, NJP, TKN, FDC, CGC, VCX

and..

Acadia's Celestial Mystery, MX, MXJ, MJG, NF

Acadia October Skye, ACT1, ACT2J, TKI

New Ch Acadia Everyone's Opinion- aka- Trestle

>> Thursday, August 22, 2024 – Chica, conformation, Trestle

Today Acadia Everyone's Opinion, "Trestle", won the final 2 points to complete the AKC Championship. She is the 4th champion for her mother, Ch. Acadia Opinion Provided, "Chica", and the 2nd from her litter to finish.

The judge said, "she is so pretty" as he handed me the ribbon. I thought that was really nice of him to say. Trestle has won Winners Bitch and better at her last 6 consecutive shows. She truly has been "Everyone's Opinion" !!!

We had a VERY successful 4th of July WEEK!

>> Monday, July 8, 2024 – Chica, conformation, Trestle

There were 5 days of dog shows- July 3- July 7, 2024 and Trestle was awarded Winners Bitch all 5 days!! Twice she was awarded Best of Breed over dogs that are already champions. This week Trestle actually was, Everyone's Opinion :-)

The show entries were not that high and it was only 1 point each day- except what happened on Sunday. Sunday Trestle was awarded Best of Breed over 7 champions and it was enough to give her major #2. I was hoping that she would end the week with a total of 10 points, but Trestle now has 13 points, both majors. Way more exciting than I had imagined! We are not entered at any other shows yet, but I am sure motivated now to find a show.

Zachary was also entered this week and he was Winners Dog one day for another point. He was Reserve Winners dogs one day as well. He now has 5 points. We have gone to very few shows since we got back from the National, but I think I need to plan out the rest of our summer a bit better.

4th of July has historically been a Successful dog show day for us

>> Thursday, July 4, 2024 – conformation, Mason, Trestle

Today "Trestle" (Acadia Everyone's Opinion) was Winners Bitch- but I didn't get a picture because it was only 1 point, but on the drive home I was thinking about all of the successes I have had on this day over the years- and wished that I had gotten a picture.

Ch. Zion Acadia Town Heroine, CDX, PT, VCX finished her championship on this day in 1997. Tucket was the first dog I had finished by myself and I pretended that all of the fireworks that night were for us. We lived in Arizona at the time and these shows were in California. We had a lovely dinner on a dock by the ocean- and I was on cloud 9.

Another memorable 4th of July I was showing a bitch in Maryland, my friend Cathy Meek had one of my bitches in Arizona, and someone else (I can't remember who) had a 3rd girl out - all three of them won that day. Again, Fireworks to honor their success!

"Mason" was conceived on July 4th- and was named Ch. Acadia Independence Day, CD,RM,RAE, BN,TKI - he became GCh. Acadia Serenity's first champion, and funny enough- his father's name is GCh. Barwood Clearsky Fireworks (he was born in July- but not the 4th of July)

Happy 4th of July - may the fireworks be to honor You too.

Acadia Everyone's Opinion, "Trestle"

>> Saturday, May 4, 2024 – ASSA National, Chica, conformation, Trestle

I had Joel McCarty show Trestle. I was hoping he would get a placement with her, but her class was very large and she did make the cut. She showed her heart out. It was really fun to watch as I saw just how much she enjoys the team aspect of showing. When Joel stopped paying attention to her, she would do something to get his attention again. She just loved it when he was her partner. I love dogs that love to show. It certainly makes the whole activity more fun, and I enjoy the partnership and the competition.

GCh. Solange Ultravox X Acadia Opinion Provided puppies at 4 months

>> Monday, January 16, 2023 – Chica, Trestle, Tristan

I am very excited about these three. The fourth boy- now Teddy- could have been shown, but a perfect pet home came along and claimed him. I posted pictures of this litter when they were 6 weeks old. Tecla really reminds me of Liza. I just love looking at them- and they each have super temperaments. The ones remaining here are Tecla, Trestle, Tristan. These are the GCh. Solange Ultravox (Graham) x Acadia Opinion Provided (Chica) puppies. I hope they are my next show prospects.

GCh. Solange Ultravox x Acadia Opinion Provided- I hope these puppies are going to be future champions

boy- unnamed right now. Girl- I am calling her Techla right now. This one reminds me of Liza as a puppy. I sure hope I am right. boy- I am calling him Tristan. I think he and Techla look very similar. Girl- this girl I am calling Trestle. I really like this whole litter. They have a lot of growing and changing to do- but at 6 wks., I am very please.

Puppy Fun !

>> – Chica, Trestle, Tristan

These puppies are 6 weeks old. Today was a beautiful fall day, warm and sunny, so we decided to take a short trip to an under-used park. My friend Linda and I were planning our trip, but as you can see, a few additional people saw the puppies and asked if they could visit them as well. Of Course!!
