ASCA Prov. Breeder Judge Star Mathis - Best of Breed!
ASCA Sr. Breeder Judge Annette Cyboron - Winner Bitch, Best Opposite & Best of Winners

Thank you to Gateway Australian Shepherd Club for an amazing show, as always and for awarding us with the High in Circuit - Intact award. We are so honored and excited!

This decision has been killing me to make!! And I’m not even sure I’m ready to make it… but I am considering placing this gorgeous boy.

Cavvy x Marty

Great biddability, handler focus and drive but also good off switch. He is more thoughtful and cautious than his sister who has no sense of self-preservation, but he is not lacking confidence by any means. Sweet boy who has been thoroughly wollered and loved immensely by myself and my family. I am in no hurry to place and want the perfect fit for him. 💙

Happy Memorial Day! Today is about honoring and remembering those that paid the ultimate price for maintaining our countries freedom. Say their names. Tell their stories. Pray for their families.

Thank you to all that have served, in past and present. We are grateful. 🙏🇺🇸

Happy 1st Birthday to the girl who always keeps the party rolling! Vegas is my little dream come true and I can’t wait for all she has to teach me 🫶

These two’s personalities are really starting to show! They will be 4 weeks old on Monday and spent a good portion of the afternoon hanging out in the yard with us, mama Cavvy and Grandma Chassie. 💕

8 month old Lozen with her bountiful harvest on the bank poles this morning. The girl is more than just a pretty face! Now if we could just teach her to drive the boat… 🎣🚤

This has been an emotional roller coaster of a litter so far and they’re only a day old! But the emotions are now ones of excitement, gratitude, love and happiness.

Two perfect little babies. Mama Cavvy is doing well, as I knew she would with her cool head and ability to take everything in stride, no matter what it is I ask of her (as long as it’s not playing show dog!).

Many thanks to Andi Sheperd for helping make this dream of mine come true. Marty exudes the biddability, focus and correctness I was looking for when planning Cavvy’s first litter. I’m grateful!

Hartley has already named them. I will leave those formal introductions for later. 🥰

Thanks Taylor Rene Justice for the announcement!

It’s a good day for daydreaming 💭🌅

Vegas is on watch for the Easter Bunny this morning. I’m not sure she as welcoming as my kids have warned her to be…

I hope everyone has a wonderful Easter! ✝️🐰💐🐣

Bittersweet, it is. The last puppy to leave the coop. The last nap together. Her goodbye to an era of phenomenal motherhood and hello to the rest of her life as a beloved, spoiled pet dog. Thank you for all the memories and experiences you brought me in the whelping box, Birdy. I’m looking forward to this next, well-deserved chapter of your book!

I rarely get pictures of her like this because she is hardly ever more than 4’ from my side.

My ride or die.

My beautiful Cavvy girl. She hated every ounce of the show ring, but she loves being my partner for everything else I throw at her. So many more goals with this girl. We had a brief pause as I thought maybe she’d become a mama for the first time this year, but it wasn’t in the cards. Maybe next time 😞 Until then, we will keep training and having fun!

Over the weekend, some of the BellSharps clan made is down to the UKC All Breed Sports Midwest Classic and overall had a fabulous weekend.

Renegade went to support our juniors, lending himself to 4 different Junior Handlers over the weekend in Showmanship and Rally. I could care less if he won another ribbon for me - I can’t tell you how much fun I have watching him work for his kiddos that he loves! He even helped one make it to the podium as Best Junior in Show!

Jozee and Leisl finishing their UKC Championship on Saturday and also took a Reserve Best Junior in Show win on Saturday. They are a fun team to watch, but it’s even more fun to see the behind the scenes. Jozee is very driven (and a 🤏 competitive) so she returns home and puts in the work where work is needed. Good job, girls! 🌟UKC CH🌟 KG Fellows Will Fall in Line at BellSharps TKN

Vegas as I could only make it down for Sunday’s shows. Cavvy was also entered in Rally but due to our lack of training and a recent toe injury, I decided it was in her best interest to scratch her. Vegas blew me out of the water, taking Breed as a class bitch over Grand Champions, then a Group 1 in a competitive batch of herding dogs and ultimately a RESERVE BEST IN SHOW! Many thanks to Judge Lori Sargent for seeing my girl in an outstanding lineup of dogs! My thanks also extends to Judge Diana Allen for the Group 1 placement, and Judge Joseph Allen for the Group 2 placement in Show 2.

I’m over the moon with this dog and can’t wait to continue the journey. I hope everyone has a dog that looks at them like Vegas looks at me. She is as loyal as they come, and lives for whatever task I put in front of her.

Every day is a day of adventure for our pack! Vegas, Renegade, Chassie, Bird and Kim (a Transylvanian Hound that identifies as an Aussie) hiked down to the creek to cool off on this beautiful day! Lozen and Kim will be headed out later this afternoon to start hunting some sheds 🦌

Six weeks old! These babies are irresistible! This is their first time being stacked and they did great. Such a variety in personality with this bunch but all are people pleasers and eager for attention!

Here’s Little Man Snappy to bring you some joy on this Monday!

02/18/2024

Today was super exciting for the baby of the BellSharp clan!

At the Cyclone Country Kennel in Des Moines IA, Lozen took BEST IN SHOW Puppy underJudge Joseph Reno! She did so well for her first outing. Show dog was not particularly the plan for her when we held her back, but hey, if she looks the part and has fun while doing it, we will certainly continue to dabble. I just have to convince my husband to loan me his squirrel dog & adventure buddy on select weekends 😝

Sweet Plucky! He has got a great BIG personality! They don’t come much happier than this boy. He reminds me so much of his daddy, Connor.

02/14/2024

The pups are loving the outdoors! We are so grateful for the gorgeous weather we’ve been blessed with - February in Missouri never felt this good!

I still have room on the wait list for a female and a couple males! Feel free to shoot us a message with any questions.
