GOOD NEWS from Dianne Escalada in Florida! Congrats to you guys on ALL of the awesome wins

large juniors class with Diesel & took RWB with Gabby to a four point major (Diane Keedy took the major
 with Candee & finished her) Lauren also did very well in her open junior class taking a 1st & 4th.  
 Now we just need some cooler weather - it was a very hot weekend!!
 Take care! Dianne

NEWS from Karen & Michael Wilson * River Wind Aussies!

The Belgian Tervuren Club held a one day AKC trial at Keepstone Farm.
 River Winds Sgt. Rock, HT, call name Bedford, qualified for his second leg
 in Started Sheep with a score of 91. This was also good enough for 1st place.
He beat his nearest competitor by 10 points. Bedford was co-bred with Ellen Brandenburg and
Amy Garrison. We are so proud of this young dog.
He is already working on driving so that he can go onto Intermediate.
He only needs one more leg to obtain his started title.
Bedford is owned by Michael P. Wilson of River Wind Australian Shepherds.

Puppy Picture Day!


Rain's mom checks in!
Thornapple End Of The Rainbow CGC

I was out training the Rain Man today and Steve got some nice shots of Rain
doing the Retrieve over the High Jump and his long stay out of sight exercise. 
Thought I would send them on.  The biggest training situation with Rain is his "waits" on the retrieves. 
 He is a PISTOL.  It is hard fathom an energetic dog when I tell my friends who usually only see the laid back perfect boy.  LOL

         
 


Playtime with Diesel!  Thornapple American Power is spending time with Erica Escalada
until he flies to Poland in October with his new owner, Peter Kubica.
Power is sired by the famous ASCA/UKC CH Mandolyn Shake And Jake
