Lilly earns two selects at 2011 NESGA

After a long hiatus in the showing world, Seastar's Northern Lilly handled by Melissa Smith, earned her first two select awards towards her grand championship title on both days of the 2011 New England Sporting Group Show. Even after two litters of puppies (one which was delivered just over two months prior to the NESGA show) Lilly still proves shes got what it takes to win.

Some Pics of Vedder
I was fishing on Lake Pocono with my friend Todd on his boat. Vedder was hanging out and taking it all in when suddenly he caught sight of a lure I had on my rod and just jumped off of the boat after it into the lake. It was amazing to see him just dive in and figure it out as soon as he hit the water.
We went ashore later that morning and I proceeded to throw sticks; which are Vedder's favorite thing to retrieve, into the lake. It was a complete transformation of his development from my stand point. He lost any inhibitions he had with the water with one quick leap of faith into Lake Pocono.
Here is a video of he and I playing together on the shore of Lake Pocono this past weekend:

ROSIE: 6/10/96 - 4/2/10



ROSIE
AKC/NSTDRC (USA)/Can/ ARBA Grand Ch Driftwood’s Rose CD JH WCI VC Cgc
June 10, 1996 to April 2, 2010
Rosie came into my life 14 years ago as a family pet. I contacted Carol and Paul Milbury on the recommendation of Sue Van Sloun – all of whom, have become lifelong friends. I never imagined Rosie would become the foundation bitch for Seastar Kennel, earn a Best of Breed at the 2000 National Specialty and bring countless hours of joy through her 9 kids, numerous grandkids and a multitude of next generations. Her legacy has earned countless titles, Evelyn Williams Awards, Rusty Jones Awards, Invitations to Westminster, Crufts, Eukanuba and much more.
Rosie was unique – like other Tollers. She was a founding member of the BLBRC (Blind Leading the Blind Retriever Club) and was one of the first to earn the JH and WCI. Known as “Squeaky”, she brought Paul Botehlo to his knees and entertained the galley in his efforts to get her to come back. She did not like his truck so found her way to humble him.
Rosie earned many Championships. Her first was from the American Rare Breed Association where she earned multiple group placements and the ARBA Grand Championship. She went on to earn the AKC, NSDTRC (USA) and CKC CH. I enjoyed showing her exclusively.
Rosie provided puppies to my family & friends. My sister Laurie Warden and her husband Lundy, have Lola & Gracie; my brother John Warden has Zeus; my dear friends the Johnsons have Lexie & Winston; Lauren Cramer and Jim Baptiste have Zoey & Dasher: Christine and Rob Jones have Meadow & Finn; Ed and Michele McGrath have Derrie & Kelty; Deb Smith and her kids have Lilly & Jasmine, and the list forever grows…….it is an extended family of true friends. Sue Van Sloun, Marile Waterstraat, John Hamilton, Gretchen Botner, Lee Ann Gleason, Jean Gilroy, Deb Gibbs, Peggy Park, Sue Kish, Alison Strang and many more have helped mentor me to success. Thank you all.
Rosie died peacefully in my arms on April 2nd and is buried under a beautiful flowering tree overlooking the ocean. She will be remembered by many whose lives she touched and changed forever, including mine.
