On July 25th, 2003 at the Dan Emmett Show in Marion, Ohio, Chet went WD for
the major he needed to complete his American Championship. Chet is our first
conformation Champion, and we are thrilled that our lovely blue boy now has
both his American and Canadian Championships. A huge thank you to Rose Linton
for showing Chet to his first three points and to Judy Stachowski for putting
both of his majors and the remaining points on him. After a few months of
rest and relaxation, Chet will begin training for agility. We look forward
to seeing him in the performance ring next. Watch for Chet on the back cover
of the next issue of The Southern Sheltie Directory. We love the view from
Cloud Nine!! |

At the ASSA National in April 2003, Balmoral's Blue Moon NAJ, OA earned two
performance legs. On Monday of National week, he earned a CD leg and the
next day, he earned an Open Jumpers leg. That was the first time that he
had competed in either of those events, so we were thrilled when he qualified
in both events. We are very grateful to Candace Heller for handling Parker
to both of his wins in Lansing.
In addition to Parker's rosettes, we brought something else home from the
National too---a blue merle female named Elsa (Kelbren Come Hither). Elsa
is sired by Ch. Shamont Lasting Impression and out of Ch. Kelbren Tresta
Tatianna (an Amos Moses daughter). We have high hopes that Elsa will be our
foundation bitch. Elsa is fourteen weeks old in the photo below.
