I have just added a page announcing our litter plans for Summer 2009.  Sadie will be bred to CH Deansgrove Traveling Scot.  We are extremely excited about this litter!

This past weekend was a fun weekend for dog showing, as we attended the Twin Peaks Kennel Club’s UKC shows.  There were 5 shows, one on Friday, and two on Saturday and Sunday.  Sadie did very well taking 5 Best of Breeds, a Group 3 and three Group 4’s.  Pirate also did well, finishing his UKC Championship by taking Best of Winners at the first two shows.  We are very proud of these two dogs who have excelled in conformation rings in three different venues (AKC, UKC, and IABCA).

We attended the Flatirons Kennel Club show in Longmont, CO, and on Sunday, Pirate got Winners Dog and Best of Opposite for a 3 point major. This is Pirate’s first major, and we are very excited that the judge (Ms Sheila Polk) liked him so much. This brings him up to 10 points. Sadie got Best of Breed both days her first time out as a Special. Pirate’s daughter Fallon won Winners Bitch both days, and Best of Winners on Sunday, bringing her up to 12 points with both of her majors. The judge was happy to find out that all her top placements were related!

We decided to expand our horizons by attending some shows put on by registries other than AKC. The first show was the IABCA show on March 1-2, 2008. These shows are judged like a European show, where dogs must accumulate three V-1 (excellent) cards to obtain a Championship. The judge also provides a written evaluation of each dog. We took Pirate and Sadie, and we are proud to announce that both finished their International Championships. They both earned four V-1 cards, with wonderful comments from the judges. The next weekend we took them to a UKC show. Pirate took BOB at the first show, and went on to win a Group 3. Sadie took BOB at the next three shows, with a Group 3 along the way, which completed her UKC Championship.

Sadie is now AKC/Intl./UKC CH Omegan’s Make Me an Angel.

Pirate is now Intl. CH Omegan’s Fire The Cannnons RN HCT.

We will post their show photos when we get them.

Sadie, Ch. Omegan’s Make Me An Angel, finished in style at the Rocky Mountain Cluster in Denver, CO. She took Winners Bitch the first day for a 3 pt. major, Reserve Winners Bitch the second day, Winners Bitch/Best of Winners/Best of Opposite Sex the third day to finish her championship, and then Best of Opposite Sex her first time out as a Special! She also got her first leg of her Rally Novice title. Shadow also got the first leg of his Rally Excellent title at this show.

Sadie whelped three beautiful boys on May 1. There are two tricolored boys, and one black and white. We hope to update pictures soon! Learn more about this litter.

Sadie and Pirate did very well at the Terry-All KC Show in Brighton, CO. Sadie took Winner’s Bitch both days, for a total of four more points. Pirate took Winner’s Dog on Saturday for one point.

We came back from the Plum Creek/Colorado Kennel Club dog shows with four new titles and a major! Sadie won Winners Bitch on Saturday for a 3 point major. Shadow, Gyp, and Faith all earned their Rally Advanced (RA) titles, and Faith also got her Companion Dog (CD) title.

The BCSA Nationals were a blast! I scribed for the herding trial, and learned a ton. Then Faith competed in agility for the first time, and while she didn’t Q, she is pretty close to being ready. In obedience and rally, Faith got a second leg toward her Rally Advanced title, but didn’t Q in obedience. On Friday was the Puppy Sweepstakes, where Sadie won 4th place in the 15-18 month bitches. On Saturday, Sadie won 3rd place in the 12-18 month bitch class, and Pirate took 4th place in the Bred-By Exhibitor’s Dog class. Sadie finished the week up by taking 2nd in her class on Sunday. We met a lot of great people, and had a lot of fun!

I finally got around to making a page for Sadie. She is one of our Joey x Faith girls, and will be bred in the Summer of 2007. Keep an eye out for updates on that litter!
