Sage and I travelled to the Land O’Lakes shows where she exceeded our expectations by taking three four point majors to finish her American championship!
These were all specialty wins too and the competition was outstanding. Special thanks to Jeri El Dissi who saw the potential in this youngster after showing her at the US
National in Kansas this past November. At her first show as a new champion, Sage made the first cut in a lovely lineup. What a great weekend for us!

Sage and I travelled to Topeka, KS on October 30th for the U.S. National with good friend Pam Warrachaiet and her girl Mystic. Sage was expertly
shown by Jeri El Dissi and together they placed 4th in a HUGE and very competitive open female class. The metal artwork prizes were gorgeous! We had a great time and
packed a lot of fun into 5 days.

At the Duluth, MN shows Sage went Reserve to the Major on Saturday and Winner’s Bitch Sunday for her first 2 points in the U.S. This was done while in her
summer attire which didn’t seem to slow her down! Shown on the last day by her breeder Jacquita Lind from Malaczar Kennels.
It was a family affair to meet up with littermates Roman, Wonder and Minka.

Jagger was entered at our local show the first week of September and took the breed 3 out of 4 shows and that gave him his Grand championship.
To make the weekend even better he won a Group 4 placement in a nice lineup of working dogs on the Friday.
The above photo is Jagger and me with his Group 4th ribbon.
The stats are also out from the U.S. and Jagger is still
the #1 Bred-By Exhibitor dog and #7 class dog for the first half of 2017. Here’s hoping he has enough points to keep him
in the stats to the end of the year! |

Jagger made the AMCA stats for the first quarter of 2017 as the Best Bred-By
Dog in the U.S. and tied for 2nd place as the Best Class Dog overall! That is quite an achievement for
a dog from Canada and we couldn’t be more proud of our boy! |

Jagger and I travelled to Land O’Lakes super cluster with two Malamute specialties, one Group 3 Specialty and two all breed shows. A busy weekend for
sure and Jagger had an amazing time by taking points at 3 of the shows including a major, and Reserve to the points at the other two. All this gave him his championship and we
couldn’t be more proud of this boy!!
Here is Jagger’s picture from Land O’Lakes winning his second major under Tom Alexander.

While we are sad to see the Big Guy leave us, we know there are many new adventures to be had in his new
home. Sarge will continue to be a country boy and keep the property safe from bunnies and squirrels.

Farrah is shown in the ring at the 2013 US
National Specialty shows in Oconomowoc, WI. I took Farrah along with her son Jagger.
I had Farrah entered in the Veteran’s class along with Sweepstakes and the quality of the girls
in her class was outstanding. Several were group placing in their day and most were Nationally
ranked in the U.S. at some point in their career. Farrah and I managed a 4th place out of 12 in
the sweepstakes with some very stiff competition under breeder judge Lynda Birmantas-Beam. Farrah
came away with a fancy ribbon, a new plush dog bed, a stuffed toy and enough money to buy me dinner!!
Jagger was shown by good friend Jennifer Remazki from Spiritrun Kennels and, while they didn’t place,
it was good experience for him. Jagger now needs some time to mature and will be spending the winter
doing just that before he hits the ring again in the spring of 2014. |

Farrah is shown in the ring at the shows in Land O'Lakes, MN. We had some
really good competition and Farrah took WB for a 3 point major under Jane Roppolo. That brought
her
to 12 points and one more win would have done it. So, at the mal specialty later that day under Deb
Wilkins, we went reserve to the major ... oh, so close! We're getting there! |
