RIVERSIDE KC - GRIMM

Grimm (PIKATTI'S MOT ELDGRIMR RN CGCA CGCU STR TKI) competed in his first AKC show under prestigious judge Pat Trotter for breed and group. She recently judged the Icelandic Sheepdog National.

He also did a qualifying run in FCAT for the first time and got his Farm Dog Certification all in one day!!

What a happy and resilient boy to represent the breed. We received lots of questions about the breed and compliments on Grimmy. 🐕 💕

MATTEO goes BOW, for a 3 pt. Major, at Burbank Kennel Club. A big thank you to Judge Janice L. McClary, for this exciting win!
Matteo now has 14pts, and needs a major to finish.

As always, he was beautifully presented by his good friend Sondra Dankberg!

Thank you, to our dear friend Linda Lee, for entrusting us with Tia’s only son. He is our constant companion, and brings Collie love and laughter, wherever he goes!

✨✨BURBANK KC - MATTEO ✨✨

It’s been a while since Matteo (Corjalin’s Keeper of the Stars) has been back in the ring. He is pointed out and waiting for local majors opportunities. At the Burbank KC the West Coast Collies pulled together a nice entry of 17-20. This is the “black and white” show.

Friday was Matteo’s day! He kicked off the long weekend with a bang! WINNERS DOG with competition and BEST OF WINNERS for a major. Thank you to judge Janice McClary.

Saturday he was WINNERS DOG with competition under judge Carl Gene Liepmann.

This flashy and energetic boy is coming along!

I am still in disbelief like it was a dream. My first bred-by champion BLUE (GCH Klondyke’s London Blue FDC BCAT STR CHIC) was awarded a GROUP placement at the Mission Shows in a very competitive SoCal lineup!!

Huge thank you to judge Inge Semenschin for the group placement and judge Jean-Christophe Boulinguez for the BOB!

I am so VERY proud of my boy toggling between the conformation rings and FCAT running on these very warm days in San Bernardino, CA.

He is always such a lover boy giving kisses and smiling!

A few candid photos of Betsy (CH Chelsea Evening Star CGC) in the group ring at Silver Bay KC. It was really fun showing her again. Jennifer showed her to the BOV but had her smooth Collie in the group ring too.

Brace with these littermate youngsters at the San Diego Collie Club specialties in Del Mar, CA. Not too bad considering almost no practice and the difference in strides. Judge Patrick Wentworth
