Meet our new boy...Journey! He comes to us from Tammy Alden and Polly Brolin of Coastal Kennels. He is already in puppy pre-training for multiple venues. We hope to show Journey in conformation, herding, and agility! He LOVES his clicker training and has already learned to stack on the table, walk on a wobble board, give eye contact, perform hand touches, and perform a sit, down, and stand. He has a very loving temperament, and it is a joy to have him join our family here in Colorado! We tried Journey on sheep for the first time over the Christmas holidays. He loves to work the woolies!

Journey now sports a Major win from the Colorado Kennel Club February show...and just 7-1/2 months old!

Our Jett granddaughter is maturing nicely. She has such a confident, fun personality and is captivated by laughter. Whenever Jim or I find something humorous, Rosie comes running and gets right in our faces to watch us laugh...she just can't stay away!
At the ASSA National Specialty, Rosie made the cut in her Futurity class. She is now pointed in conformation with a Best of Breed award. In herding Rosie finished her AKC Herding Started title on sheep with placements on all legs and a Reserve High in Trial award. Rosie recently finished her novice and open agility titles and moved right up into the advanced classes...so far she has a 100 percent qualifying and placement rate...another do it all Sheltie!

I got to show my beautiful J.Morgan one last time in the conformation ring at ASSA's National Specialty this year. As a youngster, Morgan showed at ASSA specialties in Futurity, Puppies, Open, and Best of Breed. In Futurity and the classes, she always placed. In Best of Breed, Morgan made all the cuts, save the final one, in a huge BOB entry. This year I showed Morgan in the "12 Years and Over Veteran Bitches" class. As beautiful and sound as ever, Morgan won the class and then went on to make a cut in Best of Breed.

A critique by the judge of Veteran Bitches regarding Morgan:
"This impressive blue veteran at over 12 years could still move around the ring with ease. She has maintained a lean, clean head and has sweet expression with pretty eyes. She has a nice body, good substance, nice croup with long tail. She is a tribute to lasting quality."

MACHS at Halcyon J.Morgan was the third dog of any breed to earn a MACH in Colorado. In Shelties, Morgan was the second breed Champion ever to earn a MACH.

With all of our other activities, we haven't had much time to train in obedience lately. Below are a couple of our most recent obedience photos.

Like everything else she has tried, Morgan has a love for obedience. She always gives it her all. She finished her CDX with placements on all legs.	Reno was a delight to train in obedience...very attentive and willing to please. He placed on all three UD legs.
