JOVI |
Herdabout Little Miss Rockstar HIC, SGDC, MGDC, 1PGB, 2PGB
For those who think they need to have
a backyard full of regulation agility equipment to practice on,
Jovi is living proof that you do not. Jovi's owner Crystal
lives in an apartment with no yard, and does not own any agility
equipment. While Crystal and Jovi do attend agility classes on
a regular basis, her accomplishments in agility have been
phenomenal with their limited access to equipment.
At just 2.5 years of age -- remember
that dogs cannot compete in agility until 1.5 years of age -- Jovi
has made the Top Dogs list for agility in both PSDC and AAC for
both 2010 and 2011.
Jovi attended her first ever 2011 AAC Ontario Regionals
and took 9th Place Overall
Jovi's
Regional Individual Event Ribbons
4th - Gamblers
6th - Gamblers
6th - Jumpers
7th - Jumpers
Then Jovi and Crystal were off to the 2011 AAC
National Championships and took
15th Place
Overall - not bad for a baby dog !
Jovi's
National Individual Event Ribbons
1ST PLACE - Gamblers - WHOOHOO - best run ever
6th - Gamblers
We are so proud of our little sheltie girl that looks like she
is wearing rockstar makeup (thus the name) and so happy that
Crystal chose Herdabout Shelties as the breeder to get her
performance dog from.

The sheltie on the left is
Herdabout Comet's Last Fling (aka
Fling) and the sheltie on the right is
her dad GMOTCH Redpine Hailey's Comet AGI AGIJ RE
(aka Comet).
Fling is living with her dad and is proudly owned by renowned
obedience trainer and respected judge Isobel Hutton.
We are expecting great things from this puppy girl as she is the mirror
image of her dad, but with a much more saucy attitude.

Wager |
Herdabout All Bets Are Off "Wager"
born : February 28, 2011
Parents : Ch Aberdale Quicksilver X Aberdale Blak Gold
(pointed)
This little bi-black boy showed remarkable talent for agility
right from five weeks of age, when he moved with his litter into
the agility playpen. His favorite thing was climbing through
the tire jump and bouncing on and off the mini agility table.
Wager's structure and movement will be sure to earn him a
Canadian Conformation Championship as soon as he is old enough
to compete. His owner (Rebecca) is a very talented and
dedicated handler that will bring Wager to reach his true
potential in agility.
See
a youtube video of Wager &
Rebecca in training.

THE BLUE BEAUTIES
in Nova Scotia
"
Echo & Cloud "
Both are loved, owned and trained by
Courtney Stevens of Nova Scotia
|
|
 |
ECHO Herdabout Bouncing Back CGN, PCD, HIC
Parents : Ch. Herdabout Hamming It Up RN, CGN x
Herdabout Zoom Zoom Zoom RN, CGN
Echo is a well-rounded dog in all aspects. Echo has achieved his first title in CKC obedience and his Canine Good Neighbour certificate all before the age of
two. As a young puppy he took a strong interest in agility and is extremely active and enthusiastic at the local agility club that performs at exhibitions and senior/special care facilities. Currently, he is training competitively to eventually trial in CKC events. He is also an annual "supporter" of
Purina's Walk for Dog Guides and other charity walks where he can mingle. At six months of age, Echo achieved his herding instinct certificate due to his strong instinct to work with sheep and next year he will be training in this avenue on PEI as well as continuing his
fly ball classes. Echo truly is a dream come true. |

CLOUD Herdabout A Silver Lining
Parents : Ch. Herdabout Hamming It Up, RN, CGN x Herdabout Trouble A Brewing RN, CGN
Cloud is very opinionated and full of spunk,
but she also possesses unconditional loyalty. Cloud is phenomenally intelligent and learns most commands by observational learning. She is becoming the "one to watch" at the agility club as she learns all obstacles, tricks and commands so easily.
Currently, she is training for CKC obedience work to hopefully achieve her PCD title within the next year. She also loves being escorted around in the car and teasing her big brother, Echo.

STARR
Herdabout Manifest Destiny CD CRNMCL
Ch Herdabout Hamming It Up RN CGN
X Herdabout Trouble A Brewing RN CGN
Starr is a joy to have as a
training partner. He's intelligent, willing and seems to wear a permanent
grin. He trains in multiple disciplines, including Obedience, Rally
Obedience, Agility and Canine Freestyle. He has achieved both his CD and
his CRNMCL shortly after turning one year old (he would have actually gotten his
Rally title at 7 months, but all of his scores were under the same judge).
His favourite activities include skateboarding, jumping over random objects and
retrieving any object that fits into his mouth (whether or not you actually want
him to retrieve the object in question).
He's a faithful companion and a
constant source of amusement.
Please watch a couple
of Starr's videos here :

QUIN
Herdabout The Mighty Quinlan RN. "Quin" is owned, trained and loved by
Eryn
Watson-MacDonell. Eryn has done an amazing job training
this young dog. At just 7 months of age he entered his
first rally trials and earned 3 qualifying rounds, but all
were under the same judge. Then at his second trial,
Quin went on to earn that last leg under a different judge and
went above and beyond the call of duty. At just 8 months
of age Quin took the Highest Score in the whole Trial, was
the top scoring sheltie, and the youngest dog at the
trial ... way to go Quin and Eryn !
We just can't wait to
see what this team will do next year (2011) in obedience and
agility. Quin is the full littermate to
Capri (multiple BPIG Ch
Herdabout Lil Miss Smartypants RN).

We expect great
things from this very classy little fire craker of a sheltie.

Trim X Tuvok puppy and the
litter sister of Bluey (Herdabout Blu
E Nuff) who is remaining here at
Herdabout Shelties.
Here is Porsche, sitting

Capri |
Capri is co-owned with
Shirley Beere, and finished her Canadian Conformation
Championship in just one weekend of showing at 7 months of age.
Just 3 weeks later Capri
finished her Rally Novice obedience title.
Capri is also well underway in her agility
foundations training as well as formal obedience.
Her Dam is our girl Whoopi
and her Sire is our boy Silver.
She is a full sister from a repeat breeding one year apart to
Paisley Ch Herdabout Small Town Girl RN
PCD AGNJ (also co-owned with Shirley Beere).
We give a big congratulations to Shirley and the amazing job
she has done training these two sisters.
As of
October 12, 2010 :
Capri stands in the top 10
conformation Sheltie puppies in Canada with seven Best Puppy In
Group wins as well as her taking a Herding Group 2 placement at the
2010 Purina Puppy Classic show held in September 2010 at Subury.
With a
couple of more shows to go before the end of the year, we are aiming
to move up into the top 5 sheltie puppies in Canada for 2010.

Copper |

Three titles to his name by the
age of 10 months.
Being one
of our favorite dogs of all time, it was hard for us to part with
Copper. But he now has the best home we could have asked for,
as he is surrounded by love and is getting all the attention he
deserves.

Darcy |

Herdabout Pride and Prejudice
|
Princess or Wonder Woman?
email from new owners :
Just thought I would share a story about Darcy
with you. I was on nights and my husband was home with the
kids. Everyone was all snug in their beds. Around 4:30 am
Darcy started running up and down the hall barking. Dwayne said
enough (which is suppose to be her cue to be quiet). She was
persistent, barking in the bedroom now. So, Dwayne got up to
see what the problem was....A pipe had burst in the basement and
somehow Darcy heard it!!!
There was minimal water damage as the problem had
be caught so quickly. She sure is a smart cookie. We were all
amazed at what she did!!
What a good girl she is.

Personality Plus.
This
handsome guy was the star of his obedience classes with his new
owners in the Milton area. He is now in training for agility
and reports are that he just loves it. His daddy is Dash, and
his grandpa is Tuvok, so watch out for Connor at an agility trial
near you.

Anaheim Herdabout Overdraft CGN RN

UNTRAINABLE!!.... Just a brood
bitch!...????
Absolutely
not ! This super smart cutie pie spent a brief 2 months with
another breeder and was returned to us with the above comments.
Within a month of
being back home with us, and a quick refresher course to remind Visa of all the
training we had done with her as a puppy, little Visa went to her first dog show
and earned her Rally Novice title with 3 High In Class scores. Visa then
went on to receive her CGN later that same week.
Visa is now on a
breeding co-ownership where she gets to spend her winters in Florida...lucky
dog.
