TJ is really living "the life"!  He gets to spend time with me and my parents - we have 'joint custody' because none of us could let him go seeing how much potential he has.  So he gets spoiled by his 'grandparents' all the time!

He got his call name from my parents, he is marked nearly identical to Traverse, and even though they are not related, with Traverse getting older, it made sense to call this boy "Traverse Junior", or "TJ" for short....  As for his registered name, I am a *huge* fan of the hit tv show "Glee".  Along with it being a great song, it also somewhat fits with our theme of Kylee ("Believer") and makes you think of the future, too.

Five Months Old:

Four Months (+ 1 wk) Old:  FIRST SHOW :)  It was an AKC Sanctioned B Match where TJ was a huge hit.  He won Best Puppy In Breed and Group :)  What a GREAT start!!

"Rylee" lives with Donna & Stanley Sager in Kalamazoo, MI.  Her story is a wonderful example of true love at first sight.  When I had the litter, Rylee would get all the puppies going.  So I called my good friend to come and 'petsit' for a puppy for a couple weeks to give the others a break from their dominant little bratty sister.  Well, Donna and her husband fell instantly in love with her.  And she would not be coming back to me, except to fill out the paperwork to transfer ownership :)  We never thought Rylee would "make size", but were pleasantly surprised when she has matured to 14inches - on the dot!  I had Donna and Rylee come out to a show so I could practice grooming on her, and was told by fellow Sheltie exhibitors that I should give her a shot in the ring.  So we did - and she did wonderful!

Her first weekend out, she took Best Female, Best of Breed twice, and a Group 3, and Group ONE!!  She had never been in any conformation class or training.  Never on the table for exam.  The first time in the ring was cute - she thought we were heeling and she was supposed to sit, then she got excited and bounced/jumped on the down and back.  But she enjoyed it, for sure!

She finished her UKC Championship the following month.  This girl has a wonderful future.  Plans include: Rally, Agility, possibly herding and tracking, and who knows what else :)  There is no doubt in my mind that Rylee is a special girl, and should achieve her Versatility/Total Dog award in no time.  Rylee's mom, Donna, has now decided to take conformation classes and show her herself.  We are VERY proud of this duo!!
