Freckles was registered AKC so his sperm can be used in the future
"Freckles" was Gottabe's first homebred mult. Championed dog. He exceeded all of my expectations - he was the first mini UKC CH., he was the first MASCA grand champion, and he sired the first mini aussie litter born in the UK (see Jessica's page). Freckles has earned his place in mini history. In October of 2009, Freckles suffered a fibro-cartilaginous embolism, a stroke in his spine. He was completely paralyzed on his right side. Through the generosity of my friend Sherry Roach of Crystal Peak (thank you Sherry!!) and our determination, Freckles became completely mobile. Though had a "skip" in his step, he had little paralysis. Freckles was also UKC registered; OFA: Good; CERF: clear (at 9 years of age); MDR: M/N; full dentition, scissors bite. Freckles has sired many titled offspring in conformation, obedience, and agility in the US and UK and we have collected him.We are saddened to report that we lost Freckles May 9, 2012- we miss him soooo much!!!!Mult.

Conner is a "Freckles" son and was the first dog I had that LOVED to show. He was my first Best in Show dog, having won over 12 in the short time we specialled him and without leaving the west coast. We logged many miles and Conner is very special to me. Conner is retired and now lives with Margaret & Ian, and gets the individual attention he has always wanted but could not get with me. We are saddened to report that we lost Conner June 28, 2013In. Ch. Gottabe's Got To Your Destiny, "Cedar" - Loved & missed by my family Cedar has been collected.
We lost Cedar this past December, 2010 to cancer. He is on my Males page because he was an integral part of my breeding program. Although his showing was limited, he has produced many champions (CH. Gottabe's Tri Your Best Shot, CH.Twin Pines Tagalong to Timber, CH. Twin Pines Storm Warning at Gottabe, & Gottabe's on to Your Destiny, to name a few). Cedar has been used on larger aussies, and each breeding has dropped the size.

Stirling is a "Barons" son and is out of the Barons/Zoya cross from Sapphire Mini American Shepherds. He has an awesome temperament (well, the whole litter had awesome temperaments - great job Mary!) and even though I was not going to come home with a pup, I just fell in love. He just finished his AKC thru limited showing (I've been having fun taking a cruise and doing more camping. Time to get serious I guess :) , and has already received his UKC championship. He is ALWAYS owner handled.
