Valley Forge Kennel Club Match

Sunebank and Caerleon had a good day today at the sanctioned "B" match put on by VFKC. There were at least 15 Sheltie puppies there.

15 week old Amy, one of our Birdie puppies sired by Ch. Magic Winds Jahbril, was second in her class. She acted silly but had a good experience in her first show.

Lana (Sunebank the New Girl in Town) (Natalie x Boy-boy) at 6 months, was awarded BOB puppy and a Herding Group II.

Tansy, our Dezz daughter (by Ch. Shamont Back to Basics) is looking more like her mommy every day and is starting to get more comfortable in the ring, today doing well enough for a GI at the match! We are very proud of all of these little girls.

And now it's 219!

Dezz returned to the show ring today (Sunday) and went Best of Breed at the Central Virginia Shetland Sheepdog Club Specialty under judge Yvonne Defrietas, handled by Carolyn, showing as if she hadn't been on sabbatical.
On Saturday Riot was Reserve WD to a 5 point major under judge KIm Shive, also handled by Carolyn.

We have puppies!

Peyton (Ch. Sunebank She's the One) had a healthy litter of 6 sable puppies last night! These puppies were sired by Sunebank Encore at Inkwell (5 points). There is a white-and-sable girl, and 3 sable/white girls and 2 sable/white boys. All are doing well and so is Peyters, being a good mom to all 6. Contact Wendy if you are interested in discussing puppies!



There are also 2 pretty color-headed white girl puppies still looking for their forever homes out of Rumor (Ch. Sunebank's Have You Heard).

A good weekend for Sunebank and Caerleon!

Our Riot, Sunebank Caerleon It's a Riot, was Winners Dog/Best of Winners on Feb 1, 2009 at the Three Rivers Shetland Sheepdog Club specialty under judge Jane Howard, handled by owner Carolyn Vack, Caerleon.. We are so proud! He now has 9 points towards his Ch. inckuding this 5 point specialty major! We will post his picture from this win as soon as we get it!

This is Macy
Congratulations to Vicki Hutchinson and new Ch. Shiloh's More Than a Feeling; this is Champion #16 for Quest! Macy finished on Jan 31, 2009 at the St. Joseph Kennel Club show in Missouri.

Dezz

It has been a great many months since we have mentioned Dezz; she has been away from the show ring since last year but not before achieving her 218th Best of Breed win, bringing her firmly into the Two-century Club. Right now she relaxes at home, continuing her role as the Princess of Gordonville.

Encore adds points!

Sunebank Encore at Inkwell, co-owned by Wendy, Carolyn, and Paula Waterman, went WD/BOW on Friday January 16 at Carroll Kennel Club under judge Sue Woodle for 2 points. On Saturday the 17th he was once again WD, this time under Linda Robey. Both times he was handled by Paula.

Some news updates

We have some updates as a lot has happened at Sunebank since the last posts.
We can start with some wins:


Peyton (Sunebank She's the One) is now CHAMPION Sunebank She's The One! She finished under judge Bernadette Biasi with a BOW at the Greater Philadelphia DFA show Nov 21, 2008. She was presented by co-owner and co-breeder Carolyn Vack.





At the same show Encore (Sunebank Encore at Inkwell) went Winners Dog/Best Opposite Sex for his first Championship points under Mrs. Biasi. Encore was presented by and is co-owned by Paula Waterman.



Not to be outdone, Pink (Ch. Sunebank Tickle Me Pink) went BOB that day under Mrs. Biasi (also handled by Carolyn) and the next day at the National Dog Show also went BOB. As a result we had a nice look at her on TV during the Thanksgiving Day telecast on NBC. To see her in the ring you can go to this link . We are very proud of her!




We also had puppies! Marnie Sharoff's Natalie (Ch. Sunebank Broadway Bound) had a lovely litter by Ch. Grandgables Boy Oh Boy a few weeks back. Here are a few of them. (All are spoken for).



And a new litter. Yes, looks like both sire and dam are indeed white factored! These will make lovely pet/performance prospects ; the white pattern has no health effects but it effectively prevents their success in the conformation ring only. Can do fine in agility, obedience, rally, etc! So we offer these pretty puppies to companion homes. The dam is our Ch. Sunebank Have You Heard, they were sired by Quest. We have 3 available sable and white (or white and sable, maybe?) girls, born the first week of December, ready to go in early February.
As always contact email for Wendy is sunebank@verizon.net
