Kerry came to us
as a ten week old puppy from breeder Locklyn Guzman.
She became competitive in the breed ring as a
three-year-old, and won her second major to finish
her Championship in February 2004.
Kerry is the dam of our
Ch. Sagebrush Ceili Music, CD TD HT RN MX MXJ VCD1 VCX, from her first litter. |

Kerry is one of the few
Shelties who have earned AKC championships in two different
venues. She finished her MACh in
April 2006, while four weeks pregnant. She also earned a
Versatility Excellent award from the American Shetland Sheepdog
Association when she completed titles in tracking and herding. |

Kerry certified for tracking
in December 2003, on a track far more difficult than she
encountered in a tracking test. She earned her TD in
February 2004, just six days after she finished her breed
championship.
|
Kerry first met sheep
when she was a four month old puppy, and passed her HCT
(Herding Capability Test) at a young age. I was
too much involved in tracking at the time to pursue
herding seriously. Kerry earned her HT title in
2005 after only a handful of practice sessions. We
returned to herding seriously after she finished her MACh in April 2006. She had lost none of her early
enthusiasm, and quickly earned her PT title. |
