"Penny"
was my first champion at just 12 1/2
months. She finished in strong competition
with me - a novice handler - showing
her to her middle points. It is a tribute
to her quality that she won so easily
because I had no idea what I was doing!
Showing her to a Best Puppy in Group
under Maxwell Riddle - the author of
The Complete Shetland Sheepdog
- was truly the highpoint of her puppy
career. As an adult, Penny won a 4 point
American major under Dr. LaHam with
me handling. I consider both judges
my teachers as both Mr. Riddle's book
and Dr. LaHam's seminars provided me
with a most valuable education. Warm
thanks to Shelley McHugh for stepping
in to show Penny for her first points
when I broke my toe, and Terry Pavey
for finishing points.
Winning
as both a puppy and a veteran speaks
to her lasting quality.
Penny
is the dam of two champions including
Ch. Kincardine Candle Ice "April"
sired by Am Ch. Macdega Canden Coming
Home.
