Its been a while since i've posted to the blog. My apologies. With the facebook page being much easier to post, this sometimes gets forgotten.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
When I bred Brewer to Ava, I was looking for something black/white to go forward with, that blended to two familes I was breeding from. Instead, I got a pretty merle with tan points, named Ellie, who went to live in Colorado. I had hoped, that i would be able to get a black/white girl out of Ellie someday, to bring back in to the stuff I was working with. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
After searching for a few years, and then having no luck with the first sire we tried, we found a nice male, named Keeper, to use over Ellie. Below is one of the results from that breeding.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Please welcome Maren, back in to the Ebonwald crew. I have referred to her since birth as Ballantyne 2.0. And for those who know ballantyne, she finished her CH and GCH titles quickly, has been a fantastic producer and is currently doing juniors, obedience and was the #9 an then #12 Owner Handled Cardigan in 2016 for June and July respectively. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So I hope Maren will produce and show like her Great Aunt Ballantyne!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Thank you Stephanie for all your teamwork and being a fantastic breeder.</div>

I got to see my 'old' guy this weekend, when my parents visited. He was born March 4, 2010, so 5 and 1/3 years old. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
He is out of BISS GCH C-Myste Baledwr Free to Disagree (Pilot) x CH Merrymoon Ebonwald I'm a Q.T. CGC STDs 1/2STDc (Ell). He has sired three litters to date (Ava, Amy and Summer). major pointed kids, champion kids, and lots of loved pet homes!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
He is OFA good, PennHIP 90%, PRA line clear, DM normal/clear, EE (does not carry pink), Cardiac Normal, CERF, fluff carrier. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I absolutely adore his temperament, his sweep/silhoutte and his bred type. His head and expression are exactly what I think of, when I think of a Cardigan male. While not perfect, he does have his virtues, as well as a complete out cross to the black lines with Carbon or Fudge in them. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
He is available to approved bitches.</div>

The next girl is Ingrid. She was to go to another show home and they decided to go a different direction. I am so glad they did, as her quality and type are just exquisite! I am so excited to watch he grow as well. Different than her sister, above, but all the same refinement, bone, angles as Cora, and just as beautiful of head and expression.<br />

Their handsome brother Olaf is below. He caught my eye as a youngster and I prayed that others would see his quality. The depth of quality in the litter was apparent (even with the fluffs!) and his soft eye and expression is exactly what I think of, when I think of a Cardigan. </div>

This girl is NOT a littermate to the brindles above. She is KiaLoa (formerly Gia) who is out of the Captain x Ballantyne litter born 8/14/13. She was DNA tested to be homozygous black, and homozygous 'wolf agouti' or 'wild type' (meaning she is not sable or tri). She is turning in to a lovely lady and even though she is technically not showable, her merits as a brood bitch are evident. I cannot wait to see what she produces when she is older and has her health tests complete.</div>

In case anyone missed it, we have moved to Iowa for a job transfer/promotion. We have downsized our pack so all the above dogs are living with friends in show homes. We are ultimately looking for a small farm in SW Wisconsin to call home, so we can bring all the dogs back together and the sheep, cattle, chicken and hogs as well :)</div>

The first litter was born in WA state on October 30th. The sire is the brindle boy above, Tristan. CH Toreth's Sunshine There Be Dragons. Not only is he handsome, but he healthy too (health tests galore) and has started herding training as well.<br />
<br />
Below is the beautiful Bolin (shown out out coat). She is major pointed, and also very health tested and super sweet. Ebonwald Brace For Impact at Toshay<br />

And here is the happy momma with her six babes. 4 boys, 2 girls. They could be delivered back to the Midwest after the 1st of the year, or are available out west as well.<br />
<br />
The next litter was born Nov 14th in North Dakota. NINE brindle babies (6 girls and 3 boys). Tiger and Ballantyne are health tested heavily, sweet dogs and really pretty! :) I am not biased.<br />

But I would like to make mention of our upcoming litters that we have planned.<br />
<br />
<br />
Below is the pedigree to the first litter, due Nov 3, in Pullman, WA. We have several inquiries for show pups, but am open still for pet/performance pups.<br />
<br /><br />
<br /><br />
For the link to the pedigree in a wider screen, you can click the link for that:http://www.cardiped.net/testmating.php?dam=68752&sire=90726&gens=5<br />
<br /><br />
Bolin's health info can be found on our website, or you can believe me when I write the following:<br />
OFA excellent, elbows normal, CERF normal, Cardiac Normal, Thyroid Normal, DM clear, PRA line clear, EE (does not carry pink), Patellas Normal, and fluff carrier (big whoop). she is also major pointed.<br />
<br /><br />
Tristan is a young dog, from lines I appreciate very much, and is owned by a fantastic friend who's been in the Golden Retriever ring for a long, long time. He is prelim OFA good, Elbows Normal, DM clear, fluff carrier, pink carrier, CERF normal, cardiac normal.<br />

<span class="fbPhotosPhotoCaption" id="fbPhotoSnowliftCaption" tabindex="0"><span class="hasCaption"><br />I've
decided that Echo is available to a pet/performance home. She has many
redeeming qualities but I am moving forward with two litter sisters and
both her parents. <br /> <br /> She is an absolute love! She really shines
with children, adores snuggles, walks, and being with her people. She is
14 months old, UTD on shots, house/crate/leash trained, microchipped
and ready to spoil her new family with face licks and morning woofs. PM
me for more info.</span></span><br />

The first photo is Ava's BOB win in Indy over other specials. Its probably the best photo ever of Ava and I'm so very happy with her, and how well Helen and her are doing, Every day she's been shown, and in only 4 weekends) she's garnered lots more majors. She's over halfway to her Bronze level GCH now. I can't wait to see her at the Nationals!<br />

Ava's daughter, Ellie (sired by Brewer), winning 2 points in Denver in February. She was my favorite of the litter but I didn't want to keep a blue ;) I can't wait to see how she continues to mature!</div>

This blue boy is Otis (Captain x Ballantyne). Every photo of his sire at this age looks identical to him so I'm very excited to see him mature as well! His first weekend out, Otis earned 2 points and then a single point. What a great way to start his show career! He's also out in Colorado. My second home. <br />

I love seeing dogs so happy and loving what they do! Thank you to all the wonderful homes that love my Ebonwald puppies. It makes my heart sing!

<br />
Campbell earned her Champion title in October at the Sioux Falls dog show.<br />
<br />
Archer earned his champion title in St Paul in January.<br />
<br />
Duncan Miles (litter brother to Campbell) has earned FOUR agility titles. NA, NAJ, OA, OAJ (in consecutive trials, all with first places!)<br />
<br />
Denley has earned two points towards her CH title, and her litter sister Daphne has also earned 2 points towards her CH title. Denley has only been shown 5 weekends and has earned a RWD to the 4 point major one day in St Paul.<br />
<br />
Ellie (Brewer x Ava) has earned her first point out for her CH title as well.<br />
<br />
If I have missed any Ebonwald babies with their accomplishments, please do notify me! I'd love to hear how they are doing!<br />
<br />
Maybe even a 'meet and greet' sometime in 2014? wouldn't THAT be fun!<br />

And shame on me! There still are people who do not have Facebook and therefore, do not waste as much time as the rest of us :)<br />
<br />
Lots to update:<br />
<br />
First Brewer: This past weekend he finished his Grand Championship by going Best of Opposite Sex to the #1 Cardigan in the country (Libby). He needed a single, but garnered a 5 point major there. That made him finish his title with 6 majors and a few 2 pt wins. The following day we took these pics at a local park and he also went Select Dog, to his Uncle Chase.<br />

Brewer was also bred to my merle bitch, Ava (who is also a Grand Champion who finished in 7 shows with 7 majors). She's normally snuggly, but was extra snuggly after we bred her. Pups are due March 6.<br />

These three pups will be shown. They really are a lovely group of kids. I''m so happy Denise got such nice pups!<div>

<div>
Campbell:</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Shown below winning her first major under Susan Godek. She now has 13 points with one major and we are on the hunt for majors now. Maybe Fargo? She'll be two years old April 30 and we will be doing hips and other health tests this summer. We have a few boys in mind for her that I am eager to pursue. She is currently living with a good friend of mine and her FIVE young boys and husband on a farm in Northern MN where she is spoiled rotten. I'm so glad to have her with such fantastic people, and willing to work with me. </div>

Ballantyne:</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Has been out west at Boot Camp. She had her hips redone as the positioning was terrible. This time I did both PennHIP and OFA to be sure. Her PH scores came back already: 70% percentile. We are trying to decide on the proper stud for her and every time I think I have it decided, something comes up or I find another dog to research. She'll be bred on her next heat cycle, which should be sometime this summer. </div>

There is so much I like about her, and very excited about her. She is currently out west learning to be a cattle dog. She has the drive and instinct. Let's make me proud baby girl!</div>

Ell: </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Ell was out last summer/fall for herding lessons/camp and came back with a leg in Started Trial Dog - cattle, and got her title in Started Trial Dog - sheep (these are titles given by Australian Shepherd Club of America). She's going for a refresher before the CWCCA National Herding Trials (AKC sanctioned) and her handler Glenn and her make a good team, but I'm already nervous and I'm just watching!</div>

<br />I'd also like to introduce my newest family member, Archer;<br />
<br />
He is from Deb Shindle and Cindy Bossi and wasn't 'planned', but he is here nonetheless. His first weekend out at 6 months old he was RWD to the major on saturday and on monday was WD/BOW for his first 2 points (the major broke). He has a lot to offer my breeding program if everything works out like I hope. He is out of CH Pluperfect Merrymoon Practical Magic x CH Riverside Telltail Pulitzer's Prize.<br />

Sadie:<br />
<br />
Sadie Girl was shown as a VETERAN in St Paul at the Herding Specialty in January. I can't believe she's old enough, but she IS eight years old and I just saw a few grey hairs in her eyebrows. She still acts like a puppy and she makes me laugh every day. We were going to try for our Nationals' Agility Trials but we've been away from the sport since the rules have changed and the local kennel club (90 miles away) didn't have any room for us, so we will just wait. In the mean time she is keeping the pack in line as any alpha should, and my bed warm at night.<br />

<br />
So that is the recap I think. We've been staying most of the time and not traveling to many shows due to lack of funds and busy farming life, but we hope you are all enjoying your winter. We finally got a huge snow storm last week and Corgis love the snow, so I'm glad someone enjoys it.<br />
<br />
Be Well.<br />

I'll tell you where! I've been transporting sheep across the country!!! Since my last check in, I have only been to TWO DOG SHOWS! The North Star Herding Group Specialty weekend in Lake Elmo, Minnesota and the NorthWestern Cardigan Fancier's Specialty weekend in Richland, Washington!<br />
<br />
The weekend of the NSHGC Specialty Brewer was Best of Opposite Sex two days and Select one day, while Libby (#1 Cardigan in the breed this year) was BOB all three days. Campbell was WB/BOW two days and RWB one day. Campbell now has 10 points and needs both majors to finish. Brewer is at 19 GCH points with 5 majors and 2 singles (a special was pulled one day, breaking the GCH major) and I think they'll both finish easily, just need some more coat.<br />
<br />
Richland was fun! I got to see Pilot go BOB for the 2nd year in a row at the Specialty. Nash, Brewer's half brother was Select that day too and he and Flyer (another Pilot son) helped earn Pilot 1st place in Stud Dog too. Ava and Brewer showed that day and showed well, just out of coat and in the presence of some nice dogs. Pilot was Select the other two days and Ava didn't show the rest of the weekend. Brewer was out of coat but showed well. The judges sure seemed to appreciate his goofy self.<br />
<br />
Other than that, the dogs have been coming and going. Staying with friends, other dog homes and family situations. I'm not in a position to take them all to classes so it was fun to have them all on little vacations.<br />
<br />
Ell was in Oregon for the summer and while out there, earned her STDs (started trial dog - sheep) and one leg towards her STDc (started trial dog - cattle). She will be trialing at the National Specialty in Arizona in March/April with AKC titles so fingers cross for that.<br />
<br />
The breeding with Ava didn't take as she was only in heat for 7 days. I'm not sure if she'll be coming in again on schedule or if she'll wait 5+ months again to come in. In the mean time Ballantyne is awaiting her suitor out west so she may be having pups before Ava.<br />
<br />
let's see. Oh yes.<br />
<br />
While in Oregon I got to see Brewer's first litter of pups. There were 8 originally and I was able to get photos of three of them while out there. A fouth that Denise and I thought was pet quality was a hit at Richland and everyone wanted to see the three we left behind as they loved this little girl and couldn't believe she was pet quality. So that was nice to hear.<br />
<br />
This was the boy we all liked best. His name will be Toshay's Samuel Adams. There is a lot to like about him.<br />

And the boy below you can see is also a nice boy but no one was looking for a boy, so he went to a pet home. Better to be loved in a pet home than sitting around waiting for a show home. <br />

All in all Brewer and Amy did a good job. Denise said they were a consistent litter and Brewer stamped nice level top lines, length, bone, 'pretty' and great head pieces on them. I can't wait to watch them grow up. In the meantime Brewer has a few other ladies waiting in the wings to serenade and I hope that those litters will be just as nice.<br />

<br />
Just a quick update for those not on facebook (where everything is updated much more often!):<br />
<br />
June 10 - Campbell (Ebonwald Merrymoon Collateral Damage) was WB/BOW/BOS over 3 specials for her first two points!<br />
<br />

<br />
I had an incredible weekend this past weekend not only because of the good showing my dogs did, but because I got to be a tourist along the North Shore of Lake Superior in Minnesota with Tylor! It was fun for sure!!<br />
<br />
Thanks to all involved for making it a memorable weekend!Ebonwald Cardiganshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17749634503191909772noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7268438612029727091.post-43058806851025522282012-07-05T22:49:00.000-05:002012-07-05T22:49:04.371-05:00Ell at herding camp Its one of her first time working sheep in a round pen, with someone other than me, and in a new home (camp) but you can see she is going to be a riot to work. I'm excited :)<br />

<br />
Duluth dog show...Brewer and Campbell are entered. We'll enter them at Lake Elmo too for at least a day (other things to do that weekend) and maybe debut the Higgins x Ell pup Denley there who will just be 6 months old. I'd like to take Margot there for the show too but its always so hot for the super coated dogs, so we'll see if anyone else is going to make points and make it worth someones time!<br />
<br />
Ava has become my go to dog for herding. She doesn't quite have the push to make the cows move if they don't want to (Ell always could the stubborn ones moving, but she's off at herding camp). I've introduced Campbell to the sheep and cattle as well. She stays close to me (within 10 feet) but is bounding and smiling and eager to be out there and is still taking it all in ( and letting Ava do all the work). We'll see how she progresses. She may have to go on ducks first to get more confidence. Sadie has been reintroduced to the sheep and cattle too. She truly loves the cattle. The sheep will become stubborn and stop and turn to face her and she panics because she thinks they'll hit her 'bad' hip (the one with the plate in it and wires and pins). Its a mental thing and she needs to go back to ducks again where she doesn't have to worry about that.<br />
<br />
We can't find any agility or rally classes that are within 100 miles of my house (one way) so I have the agility course set up minus a few items (chute, a frame, teeter) and am trying to get Sadie back in shape for some agility this fall. I'd like to also do rally with Ava and Mitcham but haven't had the time to really start with them yet. Hopefully now with less traveling I'll be able to get that done.<br />
<br />
I feel that each dog I have should have letters on each end of its name, and its more fun to do the performance stuff USUALLY :)<br />
<br />
Naveen and Denley are the best of friends. Naveen is truly a sweet, sweet girl and always over eager to see me or anyone else. I can tell Denley will be the big sister and tell her where to go and what she can and cannot chew on, jump up on or whatever, but Naveen doesn't seem to be the least bit worried. In a week or two Naveen will go to live with my friends for puppy k and some socialization classes. I'd hope to get her RN or CGC sometime this year as a pup. never did it but hope to accomplish it.<br />
<br />
That's about it here. nothing too exciting. Just enjoying my dogs and letting them be my pets. We still go on our daily 2 mile walks and try to plan them early in the morning when its coolest or later at night right before the bugs get bad.Ebonwald Cardiganshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17749634503191909772noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7268438612029727091.post-40725218275842763122012-06-27T22:21:00.000-05:002012-06-28T21:21:18.561-05:00Upcoming Litter<div style="text-align: center;">

Both finished the same weekend. Both got their first majors 12 months prior at the same show, so in a year they both received their Champion title AND their Grand Champion title. Thank you to all involved (stud and bitch breeders) for making this possible.<br />
<br />
They are totally different kinds of bitches, and not everyone's cup of tea, and neither are perfect but I'm very pleased with them both and wouldn't change anything about our quest towards their titles.<br />
<br />
Ballantyne finished her CH title with 4 majors, and her Grand CH title with ALL majors (7 of them). She had several majors at Supported Entries and NSHGC Specialties.<br />
<br />
Ava finished her CH title with 2 majors, and her Grand CH title with all majors (7 of them) including one Best of Breed over 4 other specials. To say I'm proud is an understatement! <br />

Ava will be bred this fall, and Ballantyne is off to boot camp. She'll be shown in Richland this fall, and we'll see what 2013 brings for these girls. In the mean time I am just enjoying them and so glad for my friends who are helping make them, the best they can be.<br />
<br />Ebonwald Cardiganshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17749634503191909772noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7268438612029727091.post-9186147128302686152012-06-26T23:28:00.000-05:002012-06-26T23:28:09.456-05:00What a trip! And a souvenir!So back when I first met Missy and let Minnie (f/n/a Janey) go live with her, part of the agreement was after health tests, and performance titles were done, we would co-breed a litter of pups, with a mutually agreed stud dog.<br />
<br />
We searched high and low for a black dog that fit Minnie for things we wanted to improve upon, that was health tested, AND was of a pedigree we could agree on going to.<br />
<br />
I must say, that Missy and Glenn have been the premier dog people that could ever be found for a co-ownership!! They never deviated from the contract, kept me in constant contact and updates on anything related to Minnie and her titles, qualifying legs, growth/weight/height, vet visits, heat cycles etc. After having to deal with unfortunate other issues with other co-owners, this was just really too good to be true. So thank you Glenn and Missy for being such outstanding people! I can't thank you enough!<br />
<br />
So Minnie was the pick puppy of the Huxley x Zoe litter. I REALLY wanted a show puppy, so Ava stayed here. Minnie went to live with Glenn and Vela (Missy's mom) as she went back to Glenn's old stuff that he used to have.<br />
<br />
Jump forward over 2.5 years and here we are on evaluation day. These are NOT the greatest photos but honest pictures of what the pick of the litter was. She WAS the fluff (tested even) and honestly was the puppy I really liked from the beginning, and really hoped for when I saw the 6 week photos.<br />
<br />
At this time in my breeding program/life, I told Missy if she became the pick, that I would take her, regardless of her 'fault', as she was the VERY best in the litter and exactly what I was wanting from the breeding. I personally think those who place mismarks and fluffs based solely on those cosmetic concerns are selling their breeding programs of what could potentially be amazing individual dogs, but only my opinion. As much as I love to show, I'm not an idiot when quality is staring me in the face, and can see what they can bring towards bettering the breed. And that is really what is important to me, not a BIS (although it'd be nice along the way! haha<br />

<br />
Overall the litter has REALLY pretty heads, great rears and top lines and have amazing round feet and bone. Not OVER done with bone, but nice bone. Naturally not every dog is perfect so I'd like to see more lay back in progeny from these pups moving forward (will have to find dogs with this), and still, more depth of chest, although the top two bitches were really ok, but could always be better. And longer upper arms, but couldn't they almost all?? These pups have the LARGEST EARS EVER! They will all need help standing up, so will need to be taped. The pups are also very sweet pups and giving the chaos all weekend they did really well.<br />
<br />
The nice thing about this litter is that the parents were health tested! The pups are DM clear by parentage that was DNA tested, PRA line clear, and pink clear.<br />
<br />
Oh yes, the important stuff:<br />
<br />
Her call name: Naveen<br />
Her registered name: Spyrock Ebonwald Return To Sender<br />
Her Sire: CH Tailbrite Dark Before Dawn<br />
Her Dam: Ebonwald A Minnesota Blessing CGC RE STDs <br />
Her pedigree: http://www.cardiped.net/testmating.php?dam=78137&sire=67385&gens=5<br />
<br />
So you won't see her in the show ring any time soon, but we will be working on other things to keep her occupied, and she'll be living with some dear friends of mine doing Puppy K, socializing and obedience, and I'll get to see her as often as I can! Win:Win for everyone!Ebonwald Cardiganshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17749634503191909772noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7268438612029727091.post-42263955122395580382012-06-15T19:35:00.001-05:002012-06-15T19:55:53.521-05:00Herding instinct = BIG PLUSI don't seem to update the blog as often as I should, since so many of my thoughts go on my statuses on Facebook.<br />
<br />
I have not had a single Cardigan yet to date that hasn't had SOME interest in herding. Whether it be ducks, sheep, cattle or chickens, they seem to have the 'knack' for it from an early age.<br />
<br />
After moving the rams today with Sadie, Bolin and Ell, I filled the kiddie pools up with water so that the dogs had several places to cool off in the shade away from the days heat. I went back inside to finish cleaning up the kitchen and heard a racket outside with some Guinea hens which were very displeased. I walked to the window to see Ballantyne and two of the pups, Dago and Dinham calmly walking a group of 9 Guineas around the backyard. At any time the Guineas could have flown away, or the dogs attack the Guineas but I think it was understood by all parties that it was merely 'fun' for the Cardigans.<br />
<br />
Once I found them they all came running up to me to beam up at me with their big goofy tongues and faces and roll over to be belly rubbed....pleased with themselves. I've never seen such intent pups, especially ones that were calm enough to just walk slowly behind the birds to get them to move where they wanted them too.<br />
<br />
They never cease to amaze me!<br />

First of all, last week I became the newest AKC Breeder of Merit! I looked online and I am the 4th Cardigan breeder in the state of MN to receive this award. There are several perks to being in this group of people, and there are a few requirements that are needed for such a title. I received a lapel pin and certificate in the mail this weekend while I was away at the dog show.<br />
<br />
Speaking of the dog show:<br />
<br />
On Friday under judge Jean Fournier, Ballantyne, aka Naughty, was Best of Opposite at the CWCCA Supported Entry for a 5 point major to finish her Grand Champion title! She finished her Grand title in 6 consecutive shows, with 6 majors! on Saturday she was again BOS, this time under breeder judge Vivian Moran. Now that her Grand CH title is completed she'll have some time off for boot camp and maturing before I take her out again for any amount of fun ;)<br />
<br />
On Sunday, under judge Joe Gregory, Ava was Select for her final few points (another 4 pt major!) to finish her Grand Champion title! Ava had 7 Grand majors to finish her GCH title.<br />
<br />
Both girls are bred and owned by me. Ava is going to be a momma sometime this fall/winter and she'll take time off to do other things like maybe Rally and CGC testing before she goes back out as a special.<br />
<br />
So three wonderful things all in one week!<br />
<br />
When I come down from Cloud 9, I'll let you know :)<br />

Last year I took sheep AND four dogs out west, switched out three and brought two home. This year I'm planning on bringing out 3 (hopefully 4) and coming home with two! The great dog switcher-oo of 2012.<br />
<br />
So updates on the dogs:<br />
<br />
Due to my limited income (due to trying to play catch up with the bills and try and get ahead) I am not planning on many dogs shows this summer.<br />
<br />
The Higgins x Ell puppies won't be ready to show until Lake Elmo Herding Specialty in August. I've got my girl I'm keeping, Denley, and then Ditty is also here (her home decided not to take her 2 days before being picked up). I'm liking a lot about her and if she continues to grow on as nicely as she is, she will for sure wait for a show home. I have 2 males still available. Dago (who I wouldn't mind keeping anyway! lol) and Dinham. I've had interest in Dinham but nothing solid. These pups have amazing rears and their side gate is incredible. Some of the boys are wide, but I was told that is a growth thing. We'll see how they mature. No rush. you know me, Mr. Patient :P <br />
<br />
Campbell is out of coat and in the tubey teenage stage. She's also starting to challenge the older bitches (her mom Daisy was a hard bitch too). She needs a boot camp at someone's house for a few weeks. it would help as she's never been away from me without another dog with her, so I think she still needs it.<br />
<br />
Bolin is out of coat too and looks leggier and more tubey than I think she really looks. Bolin is the sweetest bitch who just wants to snuggle and doesn't want to fight ever. We'll see how her and Campbell's coats look and might show them in Lake Elmo in August, but probably nothing else.<br />
<br />
Ballantyne needs 4 singles to finish her Grand Champion. She's been shown 5 times as a special and has earned 5 GCH majors! I'm hoping one day in Fargo she'll get another GCH major to finish her title with all majors. After that she is going to Boot Camp out west for a few months. I don't have any intention of specialing her until she's more mature,but might take her out for specialties and such. She did well at the National and had lots of compliments.<br />
<br />
Ava needs 3 singles to finish her Grand Champion. She has 6 GCH majors and would be nice to finish her with another major, maybe in Fargo?! After that she will be special-ed on a limited basis and I am hoping to breed her this fall. And depending on how that goes, take her out next year to more local shows. She did well at the national too, and had a few people offer to take her to special her in their neck of the woods. I was flattered but they couldn't have been serious?!<br />
<br />
Ell is going out west to learn to be an AKC and ASCA herding dog. I'm hoping to get a few legs on her between now and the National and hope to have her competing at the National next year for AKC legs. its something Ell really loves to do and she's good at it. I figured we should try and be professional at some point! Ell will be spayed at some point. Her contribution to the Cardigan world is pretty good in her two litters and there is no reason to breed her a third time. She was more miserable the second time and had difficult time breathing the last two weeks so for her to pop out 11 pups freely, was a sign to me that she wanted to be done :) Plus her daughters are improvements on her, in my opinion and I can't wait to do some herding with her. Once she's back in October, I'll try and get her out to agility class because she also excels in that and try and get some agility titles on her in the next year. Maybe also at the national?<br />
<br />
Sadie Princess. Ah yes. SG. (Sadie Girl). She also loves to herd but isn't as confident with the ewes who try and challenge her (she's afraid they'll bash her bad hip) Ever since the accident Sadie knows which side is her 'vulnerable' side and tries to keep the sheep away from it. I'm thinking if she and i took a herding clinic nearby with sheep who were more trained and more obedient that might help her confidence. I also want to do more agility training. We haven't been to class since the rules changed two years ago so would need to learn the new rules. Sadie also needs to lose a few pounds and i'm not sure how to do it, as she seems to gain weight on air and water. Suggestions? She's eating barely anything as it is.<br />
<br />
Mitcham is trimmed down. his coat is still a nightmare, and his ears never fully came up. Even though he has his 3 majors for his Grand Champion title, I don't think he'll ever get his title. he will not ever be in a 'specials' coat while he lives here with me, and he is extremely active and always wanting to be with me. He loves to herd but he needs massive obedience and again, when funds are short, the show dogs win. Since I don't have a lot to show this summer, I'm hoping we can change that.<br />
<br />
Margot is getting a lovely coat in. Her coat is no where near as bad as Mitcham's and can be groomed weekly or every two weeks if I am gone or busy. She's very much a puppy yet, but extremely smart and I hope to be able to show her in Lake Elmo where there should be points, and then Saint Paul. I'm in no rush to show her. Apparently black is hard to finish in Briards. And so are natural eared ones. So she is both and her breeder told me to let her coat get some length before she would be shown so she could be competitive with the cropped eared dogs.<br />
<br />
While out in OR I will be helping to evaluate Minnie's litter (Ava's litter sister). If there is something wonderful there, they will come home with me, but only if I can find homes for these brindle pups that are available here. So if you know of someone looking for a brindle boy (or a show girl!) let me know!<br />
<br />
Shows I plan on attending: Fargo, Jordan, Lake Elmo, Northwest Cardigan Fanciers Regional Specialty in September.<br />
<br />
Shows I might attend: Western Reserve and Duluth. I always enjoy Duluth and they have their health tests there so will get a few of the dogs done there if I go.<br />
<br />
Hope to see everyone out somewhere!<br />

<br />
He is a gorgeous brown brindle with a lovely darker face with minimal white (kinda like his momma Ell). He is a very sweet, happy boy who is working very hard on his house training and crate training. He is micro chipped, vaccinated and ready to love a new family! We had to hang on to him to take photos because he doesn't really STOP ever (except int he photo to eat some Guinea poop) so this is what you get! :) Serious inquiries are welcome! <br />
