Showcase Dogs
Hi
Lisa,
8/29/2006
Well, I'm writing again with great news. Abby and I completed the
requirements for another Master Agility Champion title this past weekend
(that's #3). This title came much more quickly than the first or second.
We earned the title in under 4 months!
Abby has become a very confident and playful dog. She has big attitude for
a little girl.
I can't thank you enough for such a wonderful dog.
The attached picture is of me, Abby, and the judge Kele McGlohon.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Hi
Lisa! (dated 12/15/02)
We purchased a sheltie from your Feb 2000
litter (TL's Midnight Prince Parker and Okie's Unbridled Beauty),
We've named her Abigail Hope. We consider ourselves very fortunate
to have such a great dog. Abby and I compete in Agility in UKC, AKC,
and NADAC. She currently has her United Agility Champion title in
UKC, Open agility and Open Jumpers with Weaves in NADAC and Novice jumpers
certificate and Open Agility certificate in NADAC. Quite a feat
since we only started competing in February 2002 (in UKC).

Hi Lisa, (dated 2/23/04)
Just realized that it's been a while since I've given you an update on
Abby (Midnite x Bridget puppy born 2/12/2000).
Abby continues to do well in agility. Last year she placed 10th in UKC
agility III and her picture will be in April 2004's UKC Bloodline magazine
for this accomplishment.
In December 2003 Abby earned her MX (Master Agility Excellent) title from
AKC and is currently 2 legs from earning her MXJ (Master agility Excellent
Jumper) title.
We are very pleased with our girl. She is maturing very nicely and has
attitude galore--probably why we've nick named her "Ms. Attitude".
I'm attaching a couple of newer pictures of her--one with her UKC ribbons
(the picture which will appear in Bloodlines) and another shot of her
coming over the A-frame. I'm amazed just how much she looks like your
Kelly (I saw Kelly's picture once on your web page and thought "How did
Lisa get a picture of Abby").

~Hi Lisa,
David and I just viewed your website for the first time and it is great. We
enjoyed seeing Mac's mother. (Bridget) What a beautiful sheltie! Mac is
absolutely handsome and getting better looking all the time. EVERYONE has
to stop and greet Mac wherever we are and he enjoys every bit of it. He
loves children and David's friends. He is such a sweetheart. He is very
obedient, he even listens and obeys the UPS man. The mailman gives him a
treat whenever we are out waiting for the mail. We could not be happier
with Mac and we thank you Lisa for that. I will send you some pictures of
Mac soon. He is really a beautiful dog, he has become my big companion
since David is at school and Wally is at work. And I love it.
Sincerely and thanks, Audrey |

| This is Starlet, a
beautiful female Sheltie bred by Tricia McLane. She is the daughter of
our "Bebe" (Priderocks Go Baby Go) and "Sisco" (CH. Okie's Hot Chili
Pepper). She was featured in her family's local newspaper since
she was the best behaved dog at the kennel during her stay. Her owner (Pat Verhoeven, owner of a dance studio in Wisconsin,)
not only enjoys her Sheltie as her family pet, she takes Starlet to work
with her for everyone to enjoy! |

Shelties that have touched our hearts and home in the past at the Rise N
Shine Ranch....... Our first, Sunshine, ( who was always spreading
love to everyone she met.) and Midnight followed right behind her.
Darlin and Buckaroo, so sweet, loving, obedient, and sincere.
Yodie, (along with Tricia McLane) taught and showed my boys and I
that yes! we could learn to show in conformation and win with his zest and
confidence. Bridget our champion producing beauty with great
spirit and intuition. Jim Dandy and Miss Molly were tops! Ch Longsine
Just Won Look (ALX) was a happy, smiling boy to everyone during the
short time we were honored to have him. Thank you God for all of the
wonderful Shelties that have been a part of our life in one way or another. |
