World Dog Show: Budapest, Hungary

Ch. Stonepine Jaded "E.D." and I just returned from competing at the World Dog Show in Budapest, Hungary. E.D. now has ASCA/AKC and HUNGARIAN Championships and was the Reserve World Winner female at the WDS. She won a large and competitive Open class at two shows in Hungary. What a fun experience for us both. Many thanks to our fellow competitors and all the winners. Hearty kudos to the Hungarian Kennel Club for hosting a show of this magnitude. What an gorgeous country!

Rosalie-Turner Litter Week 5

Two of the five offspring of the Rosalie (Stonepine's Gambling with Energies)  x  Turner (Ch. Heatherhill No Stone Unturned). Pictured left to right are a blue merle boy and a black tri girl. Week 5 is a favorite of mine. They have discovered toys; take daily walkies; have learned to drink water and are eating a raw, natural diet supplemented by mom's milk. They still have puppy breath!

Elle and Polly

Elle, named after model Elle McPherson, pictured with her owner Polly Bloomberg. Elle is from the 2008 Sash (Ch. Stonpine Sheer Silk) x Trump (Stonepine Makes Cents) litter.

Rosalie-Turner LItter Week 4

The Rosalie-Turner litter is four weeks old today. Pictured left to right above: Black tri girl 1, Black tri girl 2, Blue merle boy 1, Blue merle boy 2 (in back) and Black tri boy. The puppies started on their "natural" (raw) diet this week. Their puppy milk teeth are growing quickly and their motor skills increase daily. The are still nursing, but have learned to drink water and and starting to look at and consider using the sawdust to "do their business" (the first steps to house training!). They have been on several new surfaces this week and today will be their first day out in the big world for "walkies!" They recognize me, and rush to snuggle. They are now able to crawl all over my body, lick my face and clothes. This is absolutely my most favorite age. I never tire of them.

Rosalie-Turner Litter Week 3

Rosalie (Stonepine Gambling with Energie) x Turner (Ch. Heatherhill No Stone Unturned) litter born March 8, 2013 turns three weeks old today. Our eyes are open, we have undergone early neurological stimulation, new surfaces, have changed environments and are incredibly happy and healthy.

Congratulations are long overdue for the dynamic duo of Kathy Murphy and Jazz (Ch. Crazyhearts Talk to Me "TJ" x Ch. Stonepine Shiraz "Rozz"). Jazz's current titles are: RE AX AXJ OF RS-E JS-E GS-O. So very proud of the team!

Dripping in Winning Ribbons!

Pirate wins big at the Peninsula Australian Shepherd Association agility trials! Three new titles and Novice High in Trial winner!

New Titles!

At 19 months of age Pirate (aka Stonepine Blue Eyed Buccaneer) had quite the outing at his very first ASCA agility trial. According to his owner and handler, Warren Teitelman, "Pirate Q'ed 8 times. Four firsts, three seconds, and a fourth place. He earned his Novice Gambler (GS-N), Novice Jumpers (JS-N) and Novice Standard (RS-N) titles,and he was Novice High in Trial. On his four standard runs, he had three first places and one second.

"One thing I am proud of is that there were three runs in which he ran past a jump he should have taken,and he Q'ed on all three. This speaks both to my handling ability, and being able to keep calm,as well as to his speed. 

"And most important of all, he seemed to really enjoy himself, was not stressed, did not sniff, and never broke a start line stay."

Pirate also competed in the breed ring for the first time in the Open Blue class and earned a 2nd place among some tough competition under Breeder Judge Sue Holtz!

Happy 10th Birthday DeeDee!

“Today is Stonepine Simply Darling's (aka Deedee) 10th birthday. [Ch. Heatherhill Double-O Heaven "Cazz" x Stonepine Sparks Fly "Ash"] She is a wonderful dog.  She is smart, obedient, curious, happy, and loving.  I attached a pic of her swimming in my pool, one of her favorite things to do. She swims daily in the summer, in addition to a daily walk of a mile or more. She is in fit shape, no health problems, and doing well. Thank you for letting me adopt her from you.” Carolyn Shores.
