I helped my friend Daneen whelp her little Papillon’s litter. I was a tad tentative about this whelping. I have never whelped a toy litter or a litter with hair. I am glad to say that all went well and 4 healthy little pups were born! Shredder had 2 boys and 2 girls! Shredder is one amazing little girl in agility. Watching her run is just breathtaking!!! She SQUEALS as she does her weaves. Very,very cute.
These pups should be fantastic little agility pups!!

Sydney has 3 weeks to go and she is already looking huge and uncomfortable. I can’t wait for these babies to get here!! I was very happy with Sydney’s last litter. They are beautiful little girls with LOTS of attitude and drive.

Cole was entered all 4 days at the Mission Curcuit and was Winners Dog , Best of Winners ALL 4 days with a Best of Breed from 9-12 puppy class!!!! What a weekend we had. Cole and Tirzah picked up both their majors and Gal picked up 2 more majors the 2 times she was shown that weekend. Gal finished soon after and Cole needs 2 points and Tirzah needs 4 to finish!!!

Congratulations to Fred and Deb on their new Champion Gal!! Gal earned her championship with 4 majors. We couldn’t be happier. What a lovely little girl Gal turned out to be. Gal is the first puppy in the Seabiscuit X Claire litter to finish. Good girl Gal!

We are thrilled to announce that Sydney had an ultrasound today and it showed 7 puppies!!!
The lucky boy is Denny, CH. Signature Kalon Cetina Say What. I did the little “all bi, great temperments,open spotting, knock out bodies,stunning movement’ chant while they were tied. Black/White and Liver/Whites pups are expected.

On April 30th, 2006 we held a CCA Herding Instinct Test in Acton. Kirsten Cole was the tester. 6 of the 8 pups from my Seabiscuit X Claire litter were tested and they all PASSED!!!!! So now Pony, Cole, Tirzah, Gal, Russell, and Cort now have HIC behind their names. It was great seeing the different herding styles that each dog had. We had 12 Collies enter the test and 11 passed. A huge thank you to Kirsten and her Border Collie Race and Daneen and her Border Collie Zip for all their hard work making the whole event such a success!!!

Gal and Tirzah were entered at the San Diego Collie Club. At just 8 months old Tirzah was best in sweeps and Gal went Winners Bitch for her second major!!!! Way to go girls!!!!!

Every year the Southern California Collie Clubs hold a tournament to select a couple of outstanding Collies to send all expense paid to the CCA National to represent Southern California. There are two different ways to enter. The first is for dogs and bitches that have not gotten their majors yet and they have to make it winners dog or winners bitch to then compete with the dogs and bitches that are either champions or that have a major. I think that this is a fabulous idea and the tournaments are always so much fun. This year was very exciting……..because guess who was winners dog and winners bitch…..
Yup….Cole and Tirzah!!!!!!!

These nice photos of baby Cole and Tirzah were taken by Randy Smith.

The pups went to their first show Jan. 2006. They looked adorable and had the best time!!!

The 2004 Dalmatian National was held in the lovely state of Kansas.
I entered Sydney and Freedom this year. Freedom looked and showed like a million bucks!! Sydney the resident princess won her class….which just made my trip!!

My friend Regina flew in from her home in New York and needless to say we had a fabulous time.

Going to the National is great because not only do you get to see some spectacular dogs, it’s a time to catch up with old friends and meet new friends. Earlier that year I had contacted Angie about a litter that she had bred. We continued talking through out the year and finally were able to meet at this National. I was a little nervous as you might imagine…. What if she is a dork??? What if she thinks I am a dork??? Well wether we are or aren’t didn’t really matter….Angie her friend Lily and Regina and I got along as if we were all old friends catching up on old times!!!! It was great!!
