Sadly we
share that Shea passed away on the 12th Feb, whilst she has
been very ill it was still a big shock as she had been well
for the last couple of weeks. So lots of sad face here at the moment
but now she will be free of whatever it was that was making
her so sick and for that we are thankful. She will live on
in her darling little Noah and her daughters Delta, Peri &
Tru and the rest of her lovely children and grandchildren.

June just
keeps getting better! We ventured over the border the
weekend of 25/26/27th June so that Georgia and her good
friend Kristin Greer could show, now that the girls are 7
they have been itching to get in the ring unfortunately the
rule is 10 in QLD so they have a few years to go!
The weekend
kicked off with a bang with Delta winning Best in Group and
Intermediate in Show, a result she repeated an impressive 2
more time making it a clean sweep for her over the weekend!
Our
borders did us proud as well, with Magee winning BOB 2
out of the 3 days and placing 3rd in Sweepstakes
Saturday and Sunday with Daniel and Junior in Group in
Sunday.

children did very well in Junior Handlers with Daniel
placing 3rd and Georgia 2nd the first time she has ever
competed in Junior Handlers:))

month so far with our very special and handsome boy Reed
making the big trip to
Cleverland Border Collies Germany! We wish Steffi
& Reed all the success in the world, we know he will do us
proud over there.

June has also brought
us a new visitor, "Delta" Ch Ellagant Delta Blues ,
who will
join us for a few months in sunny Queensland. We look
