Jag has bring home TWO NEW TITLES !!!!! Est Ch and Est W-07. Hi is now Show Champion in 4 countries. USA, Finland, Sweden and Estonia.
That was a International dog show last weekend in Estonia, Estonia winner show. Jag took even a 3 placement in the group final under a judge from
 USA,Donovan Thompson. His son Gun Lake Blue Lagoon took 3 placement in the male class and that was not bad because it was many nice imports
 from USA in that show !!!  So the best placement (BOB) was a Thornapple and second a Propwash and 3 was Gun Lake and 4 was Keepsake...
It was even dogs from Marquis, Watermarks, Legacys. FCI have just approved Australian Shepherd, so now can we take CACIB, and Jag took
her first CACIB last weekend !!! Only 2 CACIB left and then he is a International Show Champion, maybe Europe's first International show Champion !!!
 We will see, he is still strong and beautiful, but we have his old age coming on, and we must take the last CACIB before he been 8 years old. So we
must run on all internationals shows in different countries and se if we can get the last 2 CACIB.
Greetings from Jag, AM CH, SWE CH, FIN CH, EST CH, NORDW03, FINW04, SW04, FINW05 FINW06 ESTW07 Thornapple Hot Wheels.
Hugs and Thank you Ellen & Amy for our wonderful Jag. He is a so very very good Australian Shepherd.
