Dam -Multi BIS Ch. Crystaridge’s Beautiful Dream – No. 1 Shepherd in Canada for 2003
DOB - November 26, 2005

Sandy is definitely one of the loveliest girls that our Danni has produced. She is very beautifully put together and has lovely movement. Her crowning glory is her almost black eyes.

Unfortunately, as a youngster she was not fond of the show scene, so I never pushed her. While she acts very protective at home, she is an angel now when she is out and about. However, I doubt that I will be showing her now as I don’t want to have to send her away. In the meantime, she is my biggest bed hog and I’m still hoping to breed her before she gets much older. We were very disappointed when her litter that we were expecting in March of 2010 did not materialize.

FOUR BOYS AND FOUR GIRLS

Sire - Sel Am/Sel Can Ch. Altana's Outlaw, OFA H & E

We are thrilled with what this breeding has produced. These are spectacular kids with personality and attitude to die for. Five are in show homes and if the other three continue to look and move as well as they do right now ---- they should follow their littermates. What more can a breeder ask. The ultimate litter.

"Lady" - Crystaridge Bold Bandit's Lady

Owners Norm and Susan Myles. "Lady" is Norm's little treasure and is just 4 months old in this picture.

Lady is now OFA Good with normal elbows

"Rosco" - Crystaridge Sundance Shalakaus

Rosco is owned, loved and spoiled by Marianne McCollum in Creston, B.C.

"Rosco" went out to a few shows in August and Sept./07 with both Ingrid Winkler and his 'mom', Marianne, and is now on seven points. One of his wins was a very nice Best of Winners at the Saskatoon Working & Herding Specialty.
Since then he has been home maturing into a most handsome fellow.

The first weekend of February/08 Rosco went to Calgary and finished his Championship, going BOW/BOB/GROUP FOURTH the first day and BOW of winners the second day to finish.

Thanks to his 'mom' Marianne McCollum who braved the snow and bad roads to get him there, and thanks also to Ingrid Winkler who finished him.

Rosco is now OFA Good with normal elbows

Rosco went to the Merrit shows in July/09 and out of 6 shows picked up TWO Group Firsts, a Group Third and two Group Fourths

Thank you Larry Clark for being as excited about this boy as we are. On top of this, while "dad" was doing his thing, one of his daughters, Shalakaus Echo of Jazz, started and finished her Championship. And another Rosco daughter, Shalakaus Sassie Jayda, picked up three Best Puppy Groups and a Best Puppy in Show.

CONGRATULATIONS MARIANNE!!!! (and Rosco)

Rosco went out to another couple of shows in August 2010 and we are very proud and pleased that he went home with three Best of Breeds, two Group Firsts and a Reserve Best in Show.
Once again, handled beautifully by Larry Clark.

Ross is now BIS CH. CRYSTARIDGE SUNDANCE SHALAKAUS.

Many thanks to Ross’ owner - Marianne McCollum, who believed in her boy and decided to get him out to a few shows this year. He has not let her down, achieving 11 Group 1, 9 Group 2, 7 Group 3 and 2 Group 4 between May 21 and September 2, 2011 – no small feat in a year that has seen some top winning dogs in the Herding Group. Many thanks to Ross’ best buddy, Larry Clark who has handled him to all these wins. Congratulations Marianne, Ross and Larry.

“ Rosco” ---- BIS CH. CRYSTARIDGE SUNDANCE SHALAKAUS is now NO. 1 GSD IN CANADA FOR 2011

While Ross had several BOB wins and Group Placements between September and December, 2011 – The two that really stand out for me are his Group First win under long time Breeder/Judge Harold Hutchison on Sept. 24/2011 ---- (sure wish he had been doing BIS)!!!!!!

The other very special win was Oct. 23/2011 when Jean Fournier awarded him Group First and then RESERVE BEST IN SHOW (pictured above). Thank you so much for your wonderful comments about our boy. We are so very proud of you Ross ---- you did so well in the short time that you were out this past year.
Thank you so much to Marianne who never stopped believing that he could do it and also huge thanks to Ross’s handler and best buddy, Larry Clark who loved Ross as much as he did Ross’s mom, Danni. What a thrill for all of us to have both mother and son go No. 1. Many thanks also to the other member of our ‘dog family’ – Chris Burke (Snowycreek Shepherds) who stressed and cheered along with the rest of us every weekend that Ross was out.

I must also thank all the judges from May 31 to December 9, 2011 who contributed to Ross’s show year.

CRYSTARIDGE’S DESPERADO – ‘TONY’ OFA Certified Hips and Elbows

Sire - Multi BIS Ch. Altana’s Outlaw, No. 1 Shepherd in Canada for 2005
Dam – Multi BIS Ch. Crystaridge’s Beautiful Dream, No. 1 Shepherd in Canada for 2003

DOB – November 26, 2006

Tony has never disappointed me or made me wonder why I ‘picked’ him out of a very quality filled litter. His structure, movement and temperament are amazing. For a big boy, he has the most beautiful suspended gait. He is the epitome of the ‘gentle giant’, winning the hearts of everyone that meets him. Like his older brothers and sisters and his littermates, I feel he could finish quickly if I could just make myself send him off to be shown.
In the meantime, I am looking forward to his producing ability.
