New Champion!

The lady I handle dogs for called me this morning. She is at a dog show in AK this weekend. She has a Swedish Vallhund named Chyna who only needed one major to finish her Championship. Today was the first day of the show and China got the major! A 5 pt major at that! I was so excited I about jumped through the phone! This is her first Vallhund too!

You can see Chyna on the front page of her website here!

Ginger's Mom, That is the pic from her first major when she was only 7 mos I think. She just turned a year in Dec. She is still very young. She's just that nice of a dog.

Husky_mom, Actually that red tri is already gone to his new family. I don't know why he's still up there. He's not still available. ALTHOUGH!!! We do have a litter due on the 12th of this month. Out of Morgan(Sire) and Vanna(Dam). You can see both of them on her website as well. I can't wait to see what we get as this is the first litter I've ever helped do AI's on and get to see welp.

Congrats on the new champion! and good luck with the upcoming litter! I love Aussies! Someday I want to get a red merle or black tri bitch (my favorite colors in aussies!) to show!! Friends of mine have Aussies and I love them, tho they are just pets... but two collie/sheltie handlers I know have recently been showing a couple Aussies for local lady, and her red merle bitch is beautiful! I just love her!...

I've got a upcoming litter, due early June!! Bred my rough tri bitch, Kelsey (Spiritwind Ain't No Angel) to my smooth blue merle male, Ben - CH Apple Valley Shades Of Blue..... Ben is 7yrs old and never been bred before (just never had a bitch I thought went well with him)... and I didn't feel like waiting around to see if he could figure it out on his own in a timely manner LOL so I did all AI breedings on them!... Hopefully it all works out!!! get some pretty little rough and smooth, blue merle and tricolor babies!!!... hoping for a beautiful smooth blue bitch to show, and take the national next year!!!!!

The litter was born earlier this month. I can't remember which days. We have 7 pups. All healthy.

I hope your breeding took. I was asking the breeder I show for about waiting this long to breed a dog and she said that she didn't know of any health issues breeding a dog that late in life, but she thinks it would have been a good idea to gather from the dog a couple days before you actually breed the bitch to get rid of that "stored" semen just so you know the semen put into the bitch is fresh. I don't know if this makes any difference, but made sense to me.

If you ever really want an Aussie get in contact with the woman I handle for. I highly recamend her not only because I handle for her, but she really does have some amazing dogs. Her lines have done amazing things in the ring.
