More Show Results!
Kylee and I went to Whitmore Lake and showed on Sunday for a UKC show.
Both shows, we had the same result - "Champion of Champions" and "Best of Breed" and some Top Ten points...
So it was a wonderful day. The herding group was large and of excellent quality, so no group placement for us.
I didnt pay for a photo with the judges but will try to get a pic with Ky and her 4 rosettes sometime soon :)

(No?) Obedience Class ...
Well, Kylee's obedience & pet therapy class was rescheduled for this week. So, since it was a nice day I decided to take Ky outside, in our second lot, and just play around some with commands...
I am VERY pleased to report that her "stay" is getting much better. For sits, I was able to get about 25 feet away from her. For downs, I was probably closer to 35 or 40 feet!!!
We were out there working on the sit/stay & down/stay & watch me for about 35-40 minutes.
Now its back to her playing in the back yard with the other two here.
WooHoo!!

House Guests ...
Its a race: Lela (BC) leading, Jasmine (mix), Kylee (Sheltie), and Tigger with the rope!
We offer pet sitting both in our home and in client's homes... This past weekend we had two houseguests (from the same family). Lela, a border collie, and Jasmine, a mixed breed (Shep/Rottie/Husky or Malamute?). Lela and Belle have a love-hate relationship, and Tigger prefers to play with Jasmine, but Kylee will play with any of them :)
We had a blast having them here with us, the dogs all got lots of exercise - mental & physical, and are now exhausted :)
Derrick (my hubby) and I have decided that if we do this too often (taking in more than our usual 1 dog at a time), we will need an extra large California King bed, lol!! 5 dogs and 2 people on a queen sized bed -- cramped for the people, dogs were all spread out :)
These are some pictures from our weekend...

Ky's Classes
March 19th, Kylee had her second obedience and pet therapy dog class at the Capitol Area Humane Society...
She is doing well with both classes. She has a rock solid "leave it" and walks very nicely on lead, plus her stays are continuing to improve in duration and distance!
Ky already has her CGC and we hope to earn her TDI this year, along with beginning some agility training :)
I will keep you updated on her class progress week by week.

Michigan Classic/K9 Fanciers UKC Show
March 14&15 2009, Kalamazoo, MI
Kylee, who is just under 15 months, attended the UKC show for this weekend. She was entered in both shows, both days, for a total of four shows total.
Once out the weekend, under judge June Pasko, we went Best of Breed, over some very tough competition (former #1 UKC Sheltie in the Nation). For all four shows, we did win our Champion class and made it to the Best of Breed judging.
This win was Kylee's first towards her UKC Grand Championship :) She needs 4 more wins like this one. It was also her fourth BOB win in her show career.
We look forward to continue showing her in the breed ring and might begin to venture into the AKC world this spring/summer as well!
