SAFAREE SHETLAND SHEEPDOGS AT SHOW

BREE & ODIN
Safaree Shesmi Bi Bear & Safaree Hesa Norti Bear

September-November 2009: BREE and ODIN were the only two Bi-blacks in the Show Ring in Australia. They were entered in a number of shows and did well considering the bi-blacks are not seen often.

  • ODIN was awarded a credible 3rd place at the Sydney Royal 2009 under a Finnish judge; a Puppy of Breed under a New Zealand judge and a Puppy of Breed at the Brisbane Royal under an Indian judge. He was also one of four shortlisted for Puppy of Group at the Brisbane Royal, out of a total 9 entries. 
  • BREE was awarded 3rd place at the Shetland Sheepdog Show, Sydney under a Sheltie specialist in April 2009. From the judge's critique: "Overall body type well proportioned and overall construction good with a free flow movement, excellent head planes and overall expression."
  • BREE was awarded a Minor Puppy of Breed and x3 Reserve Bitch Challenges.
  • At Pine Rivers Kennel Club 6 September 2009 ODIN was awarded Reserve Dog CC and Runner Up Best of Breed, whilst BREE was awarded Reserve Bitch CC.
  • At Noosa Championship Show 11 September 2009 ODIN was awarded Dog CC, Best of Breed and Puppy in Group, whilst BREE was awarded Bitch CC and Runner up Best of Breed.
  • At Beaudesert Kennel Club on 06 Nov 2009 under Mr K Kashiwagi of Japan, ODIN was awarded Reserve Dog Challenge, Runner up Best of Breed and Junior of Group, from a strong line-up.
  • In late 2009 we decided to retire BREE from the ring, allowing her more time to mature.
