NEWS 2010

May to July - Jasper gained his Australian Champion title just after his 1st birthday! He is still showing and is successful, picking up more points and classes in group. Sirena won BABY IN SHOW! This was her last show in Baby and my very first Baby in show with a home bred dog. I was so proud of her as there was a lovely lineup of babies. Mary is living back with us again... she is such a sweet little girl. She has picked up her first points to her title and a Puppy in group so far. Along with Jasper, she is now learning to herd sheep. Shamus gained his PT title for herding and some very exciting news for him... he has been sold to a lady in France !!! Phoenix is still in training for agility and hopefully I will get her to a trial sometime this year.

February to April - Well quite a bit has happened in the month of April so far... I travelled to Sydney with a friend who also has Kelpies. We went down easter weekend for the Sydney Royal and the NSW Kelpie Specialty show. Had a great time down there catching up with friends and I was very happy with the results of Jasper and Sirena. Mary has come back home, which I am delighted about. She is such a sweet little girl. Her owner decided he wasnt ready for a puppy so I was very happy when he offered her back to me. I will start showing her the end of May. Oh and we also had Toowoomba Royal, Jasper won Junior in Group! I was so happy with him.

January - Here is hoping 2010 is a fun one for the Show Ring.. I will be campaigning young Jasper, who is now 9 mths old and has grown into a truely lovely boy, and his half sister Sirena. She is such a pretty little thing and her first show will be early March at Alstonville (Casino KC). Shamus has his CD title now, so is in training for CDX and is also going to start agility and jumpers trialling in March. He will also be competing in herding once the trials start up for that. Phoenix will be semi retired, but I will start taking her to agility training again, which she loves.
