Hi from Barb to all. She is allowing me to share her Rosie with you.

She said that she didn’t capture the real herding moment- Rosie had the entire herd going from one pasture to another. Then, she played ‘ring around the hay pile’ with one cow, Bevi.

James Tayler sent me a flyer for the Working Dog Digest to come out just before the Nationals. If you are interested, here is the information for advertising: Download file

As you may or may not know, my best friend and breeding partner in NY, Judith Koloski, passed away March 16. I have been rather busy trying to get things organized to go to her funeral on Saturday afternoon. Please excause my haste in posting the information and the pictures taken of the puppies this morning. The pups are beautiful and growing like weeds. They give me pause for happiness amidst my sorrow. I will be back next week and will update with video then.

Yourmessage: Hi Cathy, just a short note to let you know that Boch now has three new titles. He got his MJP2 title, his NFP title, and his OFP title since we last spoke. I guess for your web page since he is now getting so many titles lets list his name as

Silverhill’s Rustic Acres Boch RE, MXP, MJP2,NFP,OFP. He also has 8 legs toward his PAX now! The little man is really rocking and LOVES his AGILITY. For his last leg on OFP this weekend he got a score of 79 (80 is as high as you can get)and the crowd LOVED him and everyone came up to me afterwards to say what a BEAUTIFUL run he had! We go this coming weekend to try for his CD title. Maria

The video below was sent by a wonderful Deb Haldeman. The bitch is a daughter of my late Teddy. Long story short or as the story is told: Judy bred her bitch to my Teddy quite by accident when she was verifying her bitch was ready for breeding. Judy tripped, lost the lead on Teddy and the deed was done before she could get up. So this puppy was named WINDRIFT TWIST OF FATE CD RE. Now, Sasha’s big day 3/21/10 Connecticut River Working Dog - Best Veteran
