Our Friends

We are proud of the accomplishments of our friends. With this page we would like to say great job! And that we are so proud of you!

Leon Goetz and TJ   Leon Goetz and Judy
 
T.J. (Ch.Silverwood's Texas Justice) and Leon made quite a splash on breed history. Some of their accomplishments include being the #1 Australian Shepherd in 2000 and was also #7 in the herding breed. They also received 8 Best in Shows and 46 group firsts. T.J. was the first Australian Shepherd to place in the Westminster Kennel Clubs Herding Group and was the second dog in breed history to win Best of Breed at Westminster. T.J. was the #2 top winning Aussie in AKC breed history until the Summer of 2003 when his kennel mate "Judy" won that honor. T.J. was always owner handled and we are very proud to call them friends. Congratulations on a job well done.
 

What a thrill it is to watch this team go flying around the ring. They are so tuned into each other that they seem to read each others minds. Judy, Ch.Bayshore's Russian Rhoulette (AKA "America's Sweetheart") really loves to show and her record proves it. She is the #2 top winning dog in breed history. The all time best winning bitch in breed history. Judy is owner handled. We are very proud to call Leon and Judy friends.

 Emily & Olive are a true "team". Olive is Emily's first show dog. In 2004 they earned both an AKC & ASCA CD with 2nd & 3rd place wins in Novice A & also a High Score Aussie in two separate trials. They also finished the 04 show season with a High Point year end award for altered bitch. They are now training for an open title & also plan to do Rally & possibly agility is in their future. Emily does all this in her "spare" time, when she's not showing her hunter jumper which she has also won some top awards on. We are very proud of you girls & can't wait to see what other wonderful things are in store for you!   Congratulations to our friend Dan Griswold on finishing his boy at the July 2nd 06 ITASC show. He is now ASCA Ch.Sidekick's Buzz About Town (Buzz). We are so happy for your well deserved win!
