A lot has happened this summer! We welcomed our newest litter at the end of May and then the following week, we picked up everyone and everything and moved to another suburb of the twin cities...bigger home, more land for the dogs, and more possibilities as we grow in our church, in our community, and in our careers, callings, and of course in our pursuit of excellence within our shepherd dogs. We sold all of our puppies from the Tanq x Llelu litter, except for one special sable girl we call Foxtrot. She and others in her litter will be shown in conformation and sporting events. Jack Daniels, our up-and-coming male is maturing wonderfully and he had a big weekend in UKC conformation. On September 8th-10th, he was entered into 6 rally obedience trials, qualifying in each trial to complete the requirements for his URO2 and URO3 titles. He also won Champion of Champions in 4 conformation shows, reserve champion in one show, completing his requirements for his Grand Championship! He was moved up to the Grand Champion class where he then won the class, Best of Breed, Herding Group first, and Best in Show! These wins qualified him for a total dog award each day and he also won Total Dog Best in Show on Saturday! Good job Jack Daniels! Foxtrot also earned Best of Breed Novice puppy in two shows! We have many exciting things planned for both Jack Daniels and Foxy and can't wait for their continued successes in and out of the showring!
