Since 1985 I have owned, bred and shown some lovely Shelties.  Here are a few of the ones that I've had the pleasure to enjoy over the years!

IT'S FINALLY HAPPENED!
AM. Can. Ch. Tapestry's Centre of Attention
 
March 7th, 2009 - Annie obtains her American Championship in grand style
taking BOB over Specials AND a Group 2 in Palm Springs Florida!
Congratulations to Dee, Walter and Annie's new
co-owner Connie Dubois.
 
Annie came for a whirlwind visit and returned to Dee and Walter in Florida June 3rd a new Can. Ch.  I had a wonderful time with her.  First time out at Seaway she went BOB over Specials on the Saturday and BOW, BOS on the Sunday.  Thank you to Kim Wendling for the wonderful job grooming and handling Annie for me. Then off to Calgary with Shelley McHugh-Boumans to attend the Canadian National where she won the Canadian Bred class under respected breeder/judge Mrs. Nioma Coen and while there (timing is everything) was bred to the 'BoyBoy" of her dreams.  She returned to take in one more weekend of shows with Shelley where she topped off her trip by  picking up back to back Group 2 wins and an Award of Merit at the Canadian Collie & Shetland Sheepdog Assocation Specialty.
 
Thank you Shelley and Kim for your expert grooming and handling of Annie during her visit.   My sincere thanks to Dee and Walter for sending my girlie back so I can have some fun with her!  Much appreciated.
 
Annie takes a GROUP 1ST in Florida going Breed over Specials for that long awaited MAJOR - 4 pts June 7th, 2008.  Thanks to Dr. H. Smith for recognizing this girls quality.  Yeah Dee and her talented handler Connie DuBois for this FABULOUS win. As of January 2009, Connie DeBois is the proud new co-owner of Annie with Dee and Walter Silverstein.

Ch. Tapestry's Centre of Attention
 
Annie, resulted from breeding Emma - Ch. Playland's Some Like It Hot (Simon great granddaughter) to Am.Can. Ch. Reinmaur's Firecracker - a Simon great grandson.
 
Annie excels in movement and attitude.  She showed beautifully for me at our ASSA National debut in 2005.  I sold Annie to Walter and Dee Silverstein, Silver Trail Shelties, Florida,  in December 2005 and in January Annie was entered and won her first major reserve.  She has gone on to become the "reserve queen" but hopefully 2008 will be the year she gets those deserving majors and finishes. Now having obtained her first Major in a big way - going Breed over Specials and a Group 1st we're hopefully she'll pick up the second once she coats back up after having babies. 
 
I am thrilled with the wonderful home and love that Dee and Walter have provided Annie and I have no doubt she will make her mark at Silver Trails both in and out of the show ring.

Our Annie/BoyBoy daughter, Mia, pictured at 12 weeks, is now residing with Connie Walters, London.  This adoreable little package just didn't want to grow so we decided she was best suited to just looking beautiful on Connie's couch!

Ch. Tapestry's Crazy for You
 
I first laid eyes on Am. Ch. Jade Mist Beyond Tradition at the 1993 Virgina Beach National and decided I simply had to breed to him.  I leased back a Simon daughter from Hazel Hampson - Jenny Wren - and as per our agreement we co-bred the litter.  The resulting litter of four produced three quality show puppies.  Chrissy and Phoebe are the most noteable.  Phoebe became the foundation for Playland Shelties  - Ch. Tricounty A Step Beyond (mother of my Ch. Playland's Some Like It Hot - Emma).  Chrissy, became Ch. Tapestry's Crazy for You a stunning bitch who under very limited showing seldom missed taking Breed and Group placements.  Sadly she did not turn out to be the producer of the puppy I wanted to move forward with.

BPIS Ch. Shay-Dee's Let the Fantasy Begin.
 
Jenny was the result of a breeding done by my friend, Norm Leneve, Shaydee-Chase Shelties, between Ch. Fairfax Diamond in the Ruff and Am. Ch. Signature Secret Weapon.  She represented the start of a wonderful friendship with Norm.   A beautiful little girl who attracted attention both in and out of the ring with her gorgeous head and eye detail.  Jenny retired as the beloved pet of Lee Diamond, London and lived to the ripe old age of 15.
