Megan (Connie's daughter) here; I just had to come out of hiding for this one!

Thank you, Ann for posting all of this great news! It's been a wonderful weekend so far for us. To add, Karen's "Koivu" (Can. Ch. Shelhaven Eleven) was Reserve Winners Dog to a major on Thursday and Best Puppy in Show Friday (wow!). Koivu's mom is Nelly, who is litter-sister to Ann's Checkers and Barkley.

Gemmy's proud papa, Mark, spent yesterday in his usual leisurely manner (nap on the bed, nap on the cushion, nap under my desk), but he got pretty excited when I told him the big news from the Maine shows. :wink2:

Megan! Yay! I'm so happy you've joined the group!! :biggrin2: Thanks so much for filling in the blanks on Koivu's wins for me! Our fingers are crossed for today and tomorrow...I'm sure it's lovely weather for an outdoor show in Maine with hurricane remnants today (not!), but if I know your mom, she'll do just great.

Pats to Rabbit Run patriarch Mark!! :yes:

Sounds like some exciting wins! Congrats! And tofu pup...just curious...who's the hockey fan that named Koivu? :biggrin2:

Haha, I actually had to look up the name, because I couldn't for the life of me figure out where Karen had gotten it from. I'm generally clueless about sports. :lol:
 
Ann said:
That would be Karen, who is Canadian! :lol: Hence, his show name: Shelhaven Eleven, which I gather is the hockey player's number. (I know nothing about hockey :no:)

I had to look up his number to double check before I posted. My poor husband was horrified that I was looking at the maudit Montreal Canadiens website :lol: i wondered how that name was popping up on a New England puppy. From a girl who still roots for the Boston Bruins after falling in love with Bobby Orr as a child !

Oh too funny! You're even swearing in french!!!! :lol: (But I agree, because I'm an Ottawa Senators fan, myself! And don't anyone EVER bring up the Maple Leafs, please!)

Bacca, of course, is very proud of his extended family for their wins! Congrats everyone!

They are cousins of a sort. Beauty Mark's parents were TradeMark and Savannah White, who were both Bacca's great-grandparents. I couldn 't find Koivu though on the Pedigree forum.

One of these days, I'm going to build a Sheltie Forum's family tree, we are so incestuous!

Actually, there is some Family Tree thing on Facebook! Maybe we can use that to build it! I'll have to look into that!

It could end up being remarkably easy....hmmmm! Something to think about for cold winter nights coming far too soon!
 
Another CH!!

Yehhyyyy just a small brag although he is not my dog he is the sire to my new show hopeful, Ventura Expectation finished today!!! Soo happy for both Connie (breeder) and Martha (owner)! Also Gemmy was BOS today as well!! and Rabbit Run Fair Trade was BOB, who is also co-owned with Connie's daughter Megan!! Looks like it was a good weekend up at the shows despite the horrible weather!:smile2:
