Mersadies delivered a beautiful litter of Australian Shepherd puppies on Friday, July 23rd.  She had one blue merle female, one blue merle male, one black tri female, and one black tri male!  Mom & babies are doing well!  Both the sire (Maverick) & dam have had all of the proper  health clearances.  Mersadies is OFA Excellent hips, Normal elbows and Maverick is OFA Good hips, and Normal elbows.  Both passed their CERF (eye exams) exams and tested Clear of the HSF4 (hereditary cataract) gene.  The litter will be AKC & ASCA registered.  Both the sire & dam have wonderful personalities.  Maverick is a beautiful, loving, extremely laid-back boy and Mersadies is a little princess.  Very prissy!  She smiles a huge grin (which then triggers a sneeze) and wiggles her whole back end.  She's a sweetheart!  This litter is completely reserved!

At the Shreveport Dog Show on the weekend of April 23-25, McKenna won her class each day allowing her to advance to the Open Intermediate class!  Good job, McKenna!  McKenna also showed Gossip in Best of Breed each of those days & Gossip took Best of Opposite Sex every time!  One of the judges commented on how well McKenna was doing in the ring against professional handlers and that he was very close to awarding Gossip Best of Breed (not bad, considering that the dog that was Best of Breed at Westminster was in the ring)!  What a compliment to McKenna & Gossip!
