Finn's Group 4

Christine called me to let me know that Finn earned
a Sporting Group 4 placement on 3/17/07 at the
young age of 9 months old. We are so proud of this
up and coming Toller team. North and south of the
border the Reid X Sadie Seastar kids are showing well.

Lilly and Melissa win big at NESGA

Seastar's Northern Lilly owned and handled by Melissa Smith earned a 4-pt major under judge Doug Johnson at the NESGA show on 3/18/07 competing from the 6-9 month puppy class. Melissa also won her Junior class with Lilly taking her second first place win. We are very proud of Lilly who is finally looking as if conformation can be fun. We are also proud of Melissa. Well done!

Late Winter Nor'easter

Hit with Mar 16 Nor'easter that left 12" snow on us (and me stranded in NYC trying to get home)... while a pain for us humans, Lola & Gracie LOVED it. A few pictures of them outside playing the back yard.

We cannot wait for spring to come and to start field training in earnest. Gracie is a machine in the field (never enough retrieving for her) and Lola, the one who wouldn't swim, well - now she will swim through ice chunks, mud, sticks - whatever! Crazy dogs.

Leprechauns

I wanted to share this cute photo sent by Michele and Ed McGrath who are now new grandparents of little leprechaun Devon and owners of Seastar's Derrie O' Balleyfore. Devon is just a wee lad and Derrie adores him all ready.

Magic's Group 3

Magic earned a Sporting Group 3

placement at the Elm City KC show

in Hartford on Feb 17th with new

junior co-owner Kaila Smith. This

was Kaila's first show - she took

the Breed, a Group placement and

a first place in her Junior's class.

She had to run between rings

and did so with ease. I would

have fainted!

Hope is a New Champion

Announcing Ch. Seastar's Hi Hope. Hope finished her Championship in 5 straight shows with 3 majors, all BW wins, several BOS

and even a Best of Breed over a group winning special - her brother Magic. Hope was only 8 months old when she completed her point requirements for AKC and is our youngest BBE Champion. She loves to show like her daddy Reid and her mom Sadie.

Farley Validates as Avalanche Rescue Dog

One day before his second birthday, Farley and I passed our CARDA valadation exam. We are now an operational avalanche rescue team. Thanks to Jane and Laurie for this hard working little boy!

Cheers,

Jennifer
