LIAM IN CANADA!

So this update is way overdue but I just got Liam's new Canadian Championship Certificate in the mail yesterday and it was a good reminder!  Liam (AKC/CKC Ch. Avatar's Crusader at Bayshore) has been doing very well in Canada with multiple Group placements and is currently the # 1 Border Collie in Breed points!  We cannot thank our friend Kelly Comrie enough for her love and care of Liam!  He's obviously VERY happy as you can tell by the smile on his face!

"HEMI" SUPERSTAR!

Heard from owner Julie Rigby that "Hemi"...Bayshore Stonehaven Turbo Charged (Hazel X Diesel litter) went to his first Agility Trial and Qualified in 3 out of 4 runs with 2 first place wins and a second place win!

He also has earned his Canine Good Citizen (CGC) title and his Rally Level One title as well!

Lots more of Hemi can be seen on Julies site at http://www.vtdogs.net/!

Thanks Julie for all your care and devotion of Hemi!

"SABLE" UPDATE!

Just received some great photos from owner Maya Barsky of her little girl "Sable" who is from our Salsa X Player litter!  Maya writes "writing to give you a quick update on Sable's progress. She is so fantastic! Attached are a few photos we took the other day at the dog park. As you can see, she has a new best buddy, 5 month-old Aussie, Monty.  She can now to the following:  Sit, Stay, Down, Roll-over, Pound it (where she hits your fist with her paw), High five, Speak, Dance (where she gets up on her hind legs and dances, Low crawl (where she gets on her belly and shuffles on the floor), and she's learning "Embarrassed" (where she hides her face with her paws). She's so smart and willing to learn, it's incredible."

Thanks so much for the great update Maya!

AND PROWLER MAKES SIX!

At the Middleburg Kennel Club shows this weekend in Leesburg, VA, "Prowler"...Bayshore Stonehaven Cat Burglar finished his Championship to become our 6th Champion this year!
AND...in his first weekend out as a Special, "Shocka"...Ch. Heatherhill Shock 'N Awe was Best of Breed both days with a Herding Group 3 win today!
AND...on Saturday, "Rapper"...Bayshore Stonehaven Rapture was Winners Bitch / Best of Opposite Sex for another 2 points!
AND...today, "Gamble"....Bayshore Stonehaven King of Hearts was Winners Dog and Best of Winners.  Congrats to owner Erin Culhane!
So a very good weekend indeed for the Stonehaven Family!

PHOTOGRAPHY

Am trying to find more time to get back into photography and am going to begin keeping my camera with me for moments like the one above.  I was in one of our fields trying to photograph our deer (who weren't cooperating) when the sun was setting after a cloudy, rainy day and I turned around to find this one lonely tree.  I just loved the start contrast between the bare branches and the sky.
Will have website up in next few days where I can easily download dog show shots, candids, and planned photo sessions for individuals to preview and purchase!

A HERDING GROUP WIN AND LOTS MORE!

Still spinning from the shows in West Friendship, MD this weekend!  "Prowler"...Bayshore Stonehaven Cat Burglar was Winners Dog and Best Opposite Sex of Specials all 3 days!  And then on Sunday, "Rapper"...Bayshore Stonehaven Rapture was Winners Bitch, Best of Winners and onto Best of Breed over Specials!  We were elated but could not imagine that she would then go on to WIN the Herding Group!!!
So a Herding Group 1 with a 5 point major for Rapper....

WEBSITE UPDATE!  We really wanted to change the look of our cover page on the website and not very far from the farm found amazing stone walls with stunning background scenary so I grabbed my camera and off I went!  A little wizardry in Photoshop to bring in Bravo and I think I've come up with something I really like....a new look for our opening page!  Let us know what you think!
