Vanessa is pictured above at ten months of age, after she made her ring debut by winning both of her 9-12 month puppy classes at the 2003 ASSA National in Lansing, Michigan.  Thank you to judges Sharon Parish & Katie Gammill.  Vanessa finished her Canadian Championship in short order, with wins under breeder judges Joan Bulger and Guy Jeavons. 

Currently in the US, Vanessa quickly finished her American championship with three majors, handled by co-owner Maria Gardella (Imagine Shelties), and Sue Healy.  Thank you both for your wonderful presentation of Vanessa.

Special thanks to Vanessa's breeder, Judy Kelsey, for her generosity.
