After the
2012 ASSA Sheltie National Win
of
Sunspun System Analyst #295
(who is a close relative and has a similar base pedigree as Tracker),
it was mutually decided with breeders in the USA that Tracker
will remain with us and
train for conformation showing, and we will special him in conformation in
order to get him a place in the top dogs in Canada for 2013.

** Congratulations to all involved ! Great Job !! **
Tracker
is structurally sound and has the right stuff in all the right places to
earn his conformation championships both in Canada and the US. His pedigree
proves that he can produce both conformation and performance prospect puppies.
Tracker
is a "Simba" grandson (Am/Can Ch Gairloch's King Of Hearts).
Simba is
greatly missed by many breeders around the world who admired this fabulous dog,
and our condolences go out to Tina, his breeder, who lost him earlier this year
at the age of 14. Simba
will remain one of the great sires of all time.
UPDATE JUNE 2012 : Tracker
earned 6 conformation points towards his Canadian Conformation Championship at his first weekend out showing in June 2012. We expect him to finish his championship in July at his next set of shows, and are hoping he picks up a few group placements as well.
Tracker will be shown as a special once he finishes his Championship.
UPDATE JULY 30th, 2012 : We are so happy to
announce that our pure for sable boy Tracker
( Healtherland's Main Attraction ) finished his Canadian Conformation
Championship this past Friday. A big "Thank You" goes out to Kim
Wendling
for grooming and handling this boy. Along the way Tracker took a
few of Best of Breeds and had 3 days shown as a special at Limestone. We
are just waiting for show pictures to be sent to us so we can put them on the
website.
As a Stud dog :
Tracker is available at stud to approved bitches -- please
see Our Boys
Page for details on breeding to our males.
2012 photos .... he has great structure !
His Puppy Photos ..... aaaaahhh
These two photos were taken on February 28th, 2012 ... just outside in the
backyard.
Tracker is NOT groomed up at all. This is just him in his natural state,
untrimmed, unchalked, just as his is, blowing coat and all. Just think how good
he will look when he coats back up and is all bathed and groomed up to show.
His tail is long, but it is hard to see the white tip up against the snow
background in the photos
