CONGRATULATIONS SHAYNA GARRISON!

                 

    
Look what Santa delivered late!
She is from the bitch that Jayne had off us (from our Jag litter) and her dad is Spitty.
She is 9 weeks old in the pics. We brought her home on Saturday and she has settled in really
well except for not liking sleeping in the cage at night. She cries for about 20 minutes then settles
for a few hours then starts again. I might be a bit sleepy at work by Friday!!!!! Kirstie

Wyndcrest Tenacity "Talyn"
I just wanted to let you know that our Talyn (formerly known as Dior),
Wyndcrest Tenacity!, is the #7 Aussie in the USA for the 2008 year,
per UKC recordings as of January 8, 2009. All this at only 7 MONTHS OLD!
Talyn already has multiple Best of Breed and Group wins at AKC Matches
and UKC Shows. He also has multiple BOBp wins in ASCA. His AKC debut
in the Bred By Exhibitor class is this weekend.
Talyn was our pick-of-litter from the CH Thornapple Single Barrel
(Cruzan) X CH Aristocrat's Intuition (Misty).
We couldn't be prouder of this sensational young man!

Thornapple Taboo "Hershey"
NEWS FROM THE PHILIPPINES!
 Thought you'd love to know that I got a 4 point major on Hershey this Saturday by winning Group 3.
She was a lone entry in the Aussie but got her points from the sheltie and corgi. I'm all set for Westminster. 
Let me know if If Shayna is going. I can bring some dried mangoes and green tea for you. Thanks Alan (Ong)
CONGRATULATIONS ALAN & HERSHEY! Watch for Hershey's International page.

                 

         
Thought these were cute and I would share them with you. I have never seen a dog love coffee like Hope does.
She jumped into Bill's lap and wouldn't give in until he shared with her.  Carolyn (Zernick) Thank you for sharing Carolyn!

                 

Mercury Thornapple Turn It Up "Roxy"
Roxy was co-bred with Ami Romanelli/Mercury Aussies - owned by Brandy Dirksen & Ami Romanelli
Roxy is coming along nicely! She took RWB to a major from the 6-9 puppy class on Saturday at the UMASC show.
 I don't think she could have been more happy to be there... smiling and wiggling at everyone. During one of her
down and backs she decided that staring at herself in the mirror was more fun than the "back" so everyone had
a good laugh over that. She is such a sweet, cute girl.  Brandy Dirksen
