The Girls at Gottabe:
Introducing:
UKC GRCH./IABCA Int. CH. RebelSoul's Winning Colors @ Gottabe, CGC, TKN, FDC, BCAT -
"Winnie"
DOB: 4/19/20
Sire: Celebritywards Blew By U
Dam: Rebel Soul's Goldkenn
Wicketed @ 15.5"
Winnie comes to us from my good friend Julia @ Rebel Soul. I had been having some trouble with my knee (sucks to get old) & said that although I love my guys closer to the 18" size, I can't run like I used to. She had a pup in her litter she thought would be on the smaller end & though she would fit the bill. Winnie is a petite 15.25" @ 1.5 years. She has a spunky, can-do attitude & holds up her end with the mannies. In September she achieved her Canine Good Citizen, Trick Dog Novice, & Farm Dog titles, as well as her herding instinct test. She also picked up 3 conformation points. In October, she finished the first leg of her FastCAT - her BCAT, title. This girl is awesome!
Winnie at her first herding instinct test - she definitely has it in spades & the instructor gave her an "excellent prospect" on her evaluation

Phaedra comes to us from Julia @ Rebel Soul and we are very excited to welcome her to our pack. She has an inquisitive, happy temperament & has a gorgeous dark red coat. She was the first out and about in her litter and we are anticipating that inquisitiveness here - fun!! Julia and her husband owned a brewery up in Portland - and we wanted to go with the beer theme. "Phaedra" is the feminine of "Phaedrus", one of their red beers. A special thank you to Julia for entrusting this special girl to us.

Dam: Mult CH. Gottabe's I'm A Fool For You
Testing - Clear by Parentage for all but MDR1, Red-factored
Gracie is the daughter of Stirling (he's on the left and her on the right) & Ava (below) and is a beautiful example of our breed. She is smart, loving, and a sweetheart. She lives with Ron & Cindy. Ron takes Gracie to work several days a week & she gets a lot of male attention :)
Reference Dam: MASCA/NAMASCUSA/IABCA Jr.Int/Nat'l Ch. Gottabe's I'm A Fool for You, "Ava" - loved by Loye & Stan - Ava is AKC registered. RETIRED
Ava as a puppy -so cute!!
Ava is from my Freckles/Asia cross, Freckle's last breeding @ the age of 9. She is a beautiful, happy girl - in many ways like her mother - loving and sweet. She finished both her NAMASCUSA & MASCA championships at the young age of 9 months, and completed both her Jr. Internat'l and Nat'l championships before we entered AKC. She was one of the few Miniature American Shepherds to be invited to the invitiation-only Eukanuba Invitationals in December, 2012, and has been a very positive influence on our showing/breeding program. She is also the sister to MACH 5 Gottabe's Doing the Hustle, "Hustle". We have retired Ava from our breeding program. Both her & Barons now live the high with Loye and Stan - she deserves a nice retirement :)
