 SHARED OWNERSHIPS

Occasionally a puppy is so nice a breeder hates to part with him or her and wouldn't it be great if that puppy could have its own family but still have the opportunity to contribute to our breeding program?  Also, sometimes we share in the purchase of a dog for the same reasons.  Pictured here are dogs who are owned in partnership with us at Bluegrass Kennels.  These dogs live with their own families and will occasionally contribute to our endeavor to breed a superior conformation dog with a wonderful disposition.

 


Name: HEARTLANDS AFFAIR WITH BLUEGRASS

Sire: NAMASCUSA, ARBA, and IABCA CHAMPION COWTOWN JB BOOKES OF HEARTLAND
Dam: CHANDREAS JUSTDOITAT HEARTLAND

We are pleased to introduce and add this lovely young lady to our group of dogs in an effort to select the very best in bloodlines, type, and disposition to our show and breeding program. "Tryst", as we call her, is sired by Karen and Mike Oldfather's red merle boy Bookes, who has achieved honorable accolades both in the show ring and with his offspring. Tryst's dam, nick named Nike, is a small AKC Australian Shepherd sired by the well known Ironhorse Take A Chance On Me, owned until his death by Cheryl Hass of Chandrea Farms. "Bug" left an incredibly positive legacy of many offspring who represent the Australian Shepherd in the very best ways. We believe Tryst represents so many of her sire's and dam's excellent attributes and also adds her own beauty, zest for life, and wonderful attitude to the programs of Bluegrass Kennels and Heartland Kennels, her co-owners.

NAME: Multi Champion, BIS, Bluegrass Boomerang of Chandrea, CGC
SIRE: Champion Cowtown Rodeo of Patchwork
DAM: Champion Patchworks Fancy Bluegrass

This is a most handsome dark red merle boy whom we bred here at Bluegrass Kennels. This young man is a wonderful example of breed type with all the attitude and characteristics for which we search. He is brave, tenacious, biddable, and incredibly intelligent and athletic, and simply one of the most fun and entertaining dogs we have known. Boomerang has completed his Rarities Championship, his IABCA Championship, his NAMASCUSA Championship, his Canine Good Citizen award, and is pointed in ARBA. He also took a Best In Show at Post Falls, ID on August 31st, 2008. We extend a huge thank you to Cheryl Hass of Chandrea Farms for her superior training and handling of Boomerang when he was a youngster. Boomerang is entering into the exciting world of agility now and is learning and training with Lucinda Schuft who has many years of experience in teaching and competing in Obedience and Agility. Boomerang loves this and is already doing well.

Boomerang is CERF clear, OFA excellent, and is a compact 16.25" tall. He is available to approved females at Bluegrass Kennels.
