============================================== 2008 ============================================== Website Changes Not only have we removed the No Frames portion of the website, but we have also finally changed our photos over onto one single server. To see the old photo page, please follow this link here. Conformation Results "Kylee" made her official UKC debut June 28 & 29 in Montpelier, Ohio. She earned a "Best Female/Winners Bitch" on Saturday, and BOB/Group3 on Sunday for her first competition win. She is on her way to her UKC Championship. She turned 6 months old on the 28th, also. NEW ADDITION "Kylee" Trelynn's I'm A Believer at Sympa. Kylee came to us thanks to Debbie Tresnek of Trelynn Shelties in Chesterfield, MI. Kylees sire is the well known Grandgables Boy oh Boy. She was born 12-28-07. A web page for her has been created for her, check it out! ============================================== 2007 ============================================== HERDING! Tigger has met sheep two times now. The first time, he had his Herding Instinct Test performed by Kelly Malone of Ohio. She said he would become a natural just needed a little more work ethic (that was in May). At the end of June, we met up with Kelly again for his first official herding lesson. Check out his page to see how he did and improved! NEW TITLES! "CL2-F" Belle earned her CPE level 2 "Fun" title in November 2007 in Dexter. Out of three rans, she finished first place on all of them as qualifying runs to finish that title and come close on two others. I expect her to finish the others next year. "NJS" Tigger earned his very first agility title October 2007 in Montpelier. It was his Novice Jumpers Skilled title. He actually ran the same course as Belle and was 4 seconds faster!! Watch out for this guy next year!! "TDI" "CGC" Tigger earned his CGC (Canine Good Citizen) and TDI (Therapy Dog International) titles in November. Currently, he is visiting an adult day care facility one to two times per month. Check back for updates. "NAC" Belle also earned her NADAC Novice Regular Agility (similar to AKC's Standard) Title on April 15th in Montpelier, OH. The previous day she earned another leg towards her Superior Tunnelers Title. Tigger made his debut at the show as well, but unfortunately he still had a little too much puppy in him. We are working on making tighter turns to cut off the 0.1 seconds over time he was. He did hit all of his contacts like he was supposed to do, though. ============================================== 2006 ============================================== February 2006 "Cole" Tigger's brother (littermate) has been placed into his forever home. You can read more about him on his page, under Frames or No Frames. April 2006 Show Results! Belle was entered in another NADAC agility show on April 8th and 9th, 2006. This was our first show of the season/year. Because of it being the first show and unpredictable weather, I only entered 3 runs/day (2 Regular, 1 Jumpers each day). Saturday was very close on all three runs and we went home with 2 first places and 1 very close second place, none of the runs qualified though. Sunday, we had 3 first places, and 1 qualifying run in Jumpers - this earned Belles NJC title! We are very proud of our girl and are super excited about what the rest of the season will bring! ============================================== 2005 ============================================== November 2005 New Arrival Tigger has arrived from Virginia. He is a real sweet heart and we are working on creating a page for him, so please forgive us. We brought him and his brother Kole back, and Kole is now living with Sherri Nester of Falmist Shelties in Ohio. Her page is in our link section, check it out :) This little guy is a great pup and I can not wait to participate in events with him! Thank you so much to Jo Satterfield for breeding Jolie and raising a beautiful litter! October 2005 Show Results! Belle was entered in another NADAC agility show on October 1st and 2nd, 2005. This was our first "weekend" show. We went down to Ohio on Saturday, ran 5 runs and stayed the night in a motel, and ran 5 runs on Sunday and came home. I would say the weekend was a success. We earned a standard1, jumpers, and tunnelers qualifying run on Saturday (Standard1=1st place, Standard2=1st, Jumpers=1st, Tunnelers=3rd, Weavers=1st). On Sunday, we finished our tunnelers title and also recieved another jumpers leg (all but our TouchNGo run had a first place, TouchNGo was no placement) . So now, Belle has earned her TN-N NADAC title. YAY!!! To see more of her agility results, please visit her Agility Page. SEPTEMBER 2005 Wedding Well, its finally happened. Kelly and Derrick finally tied the knot on September 10th. It was a beautiful day and lots of photos were taken, they will added to the site probably in October. Thank you all for your support.

Belle was entered in another NADAC agility show on August 28th, 2005. She recieved 3 First Places in Novice Classes (1 regular standard, 1 jumpers, 1 tunnelers).

Virtual Sheltie Show Jolie was not entered in the VSS due to an error in the VSS manager's control. I am sorry to everyone who thought she was going to be entered, it was not my fault... The boys and one of Belle made it in but I dont know why - their format was the same as Jolie's ... Thanks for supporting Jolie, better luck another time.
