SugarLeaf Boots and Boys ~ "Ke$ha" ~ 3 Pt Major win handled by Maria Neff and thank you to Judge: Sharon Ann Redmer. Photo taken by the lovely Amber Jade Aanensen. Thank you Maria Neff for your beautiful grooming and handling of one very naked Ke$ha. Ke$ha is now in the "Singles" club...one point left to go.

We have had a very exciting month here at SugarLeaf. We took a very "naked" Ke$ha to Fort Wayne, Indiana, and also to Kalamazoo, Michigan, with our very dear friend and handler, Maria Neff. During the two weekends, Maria put two 3 point majors and a Reserve to a 4 point major on Ke$ha. Miss Ke$ha is now in the "Singles" club! LOL! She needs only one point to finish her AKC CH title. We are hoping to do that next week in Wheaton, IL. I'm also very excited because we have our win photo from Fort Wayne with Judge Sue Bownds!!! In case you don't remember, Judge Bownds is the proud mother to one of my favorite actresses, Rebel Wilson! Thank you so much, Maria, for your beautiful grooming (with Ke$ha's all 2 hairs, LOL!), and presentation of Ke$ha. We could not of been more pleased with her performance in the ring.

GCH CH Dolce and Gabbana

09/19/2016

It is with great pride and honor that SugarLeaf Australian Shepherds announces the new Junior Handling Team of Josie Scoonover-Nelson and GCH CH SugarLeaf Dolce and Gabbana ~ "Duo." Duo and Josie became a team at the Iced Tea Cluster in Muncie, Indiana, after Josie signed on as Co-Owner of Duo in early August. They have only been together for a few weeks...but what an entrance!!!

Their very first show out they placed in juniors, and won BOB and Group 2 (for another GCH Major over some very nice specials) and OH BOB and OH Group 1! They went on to place a couple of times in juniors that same cluster!

They have since won multiple BOBs, another OH BOB, and another OH Group placement (Group 3!). Josie, in just a few short weeks, has finished Duo's Grand Champion title (just waiting on AKC to catch up with them, LOL!) and also earned a BJH this last weekend at the Rochester Kennel Club show in Minnesota. We are so very proud of Josie and the love and care she gives Duo and can't believe how quickly the pair have bonded to form such a beautiful team! Duo is residing with Josie in Minnesota for as long as she will have need of him to finish her junior handling career.

All Aussie juniors need and appreciate the support of our Aussie community. Please take the time to support our juniors ringside and by mentoring as well. If you should happen to see any Aussie Juniors in the ring, please try to watch, clap, and show them your support.

Keep an eye out for Josie and Duo in AKC and ASCA rings!

Thank you so much to all the judges who have awarded Josie and Duo with their many wins and placings!
