These
working lines haven't let us down. Shaali's training for Novice
obedience took just four months. She entered the trial ring at 18
months of age and didn't let me down. In her first trial she scored
188 points and second place. The next day she took first place on
198 points, 10 points clear of the second placegetter. Shaali completed
her title with 195 points and first place. She went on to complete
six more Novice trials scoring between 188 to 194 points and placing
in all of them.

Shaali
at 6 months

At
the NSW State Obedience Titles in October 2000 she placed at two
of the three trials and received a medallion for passing on all
three days and as well received the Bronze Medallion for 3rd place
overall.
At
the final presentation we had an anxious wait before Shaali was
named the "Arthur Smith Novice Dog of the Year". She became
the first Australian Shepherd to win this prestigious award with
a score of 587 from a possible 600. It was a dream come true.
Shaali
then went back to Sharyn to have her first litter. A beautiful litter
of seven puppies, all blue merles and black tri's, sired by Aust.
Ch Wlkabout Escapade Pranca.
Her
Open title came in three trials scoring 193 points - 1st Place,
195 and 192 points 4th place. Her average score is in the low 190's.
UD
training is progressing well. Shaali has an excellent nose and I
hope to be having fun with her in Utility ring soon.
Agility
training is under way and competition is not too far away, I'll
really need my skates to keep up with Shaali.
Her
conformation title took longer to achieve mainly due to the stiff
competition from some top quality bitches including her half sister
"Aust Grand Ch/AM Ch Sugargum Top Shelf" maternal duties,
obedience and volunteer work. Along the way Shaali collected Best
of Breeds, Runner Up Best of Breeds and Classes in Group.

Certified
as a "Pets as Therapy" dog with the Delta Society, Shaali's
sweet nature made her a favourite with nursing home patients, unfotunately
whilst unable to continue our work through Delta we do occassionally
still visit some of our friends.
