The hip xray experience with Addie was most unusual. We sent the xray below to the Orthopedic Foundation for Animals. Each xray they receive is sent to three of the orthopedic vets on their panel for review and rating. Addie’s elbows were normal, but her hip xray elicited three different ratings — one from each of the reviewing vets. I called foul and we re-xrayed her, set up for PennHip. The results — her hips rate above 90% of the Cardigan hips submitted for review. I am good with that rating and would have no issue breeding her. So, yay Addie!

Dem Bones
December 22, 2015 by myeye
Yesterday it was Addie’s turn to visit Dr. Donny. We did hips, elbows, and a patella check for OFA. I think these are pretty nice hips:
Donny took the time to explain to Debbie, Pam, and me what he was looking for and why he liked these hips. I always appreciate his conversations.
I am firmly convinced that OFA and the IRS are sister companies so I’ll just hold my breath until the results are in. We submitted digitally so should have an answer in the next two to three weeks.

CH Elyan Adelaide Eco PT
November 18, 2015 by myeye
Lots of people joined in to earn Addie’s Championship. In early November, Kim Raleigh handled Addie in Pueblo for her final Championship point and her first Grand Champion Points. One of Kim’s friends caught this lovely photo of our girl. Many thanks to everyone who participated in making this happen. Addie is litter sister to Andy (MHIT Elyan Andrews Honor Roll BN CDX RAE), owned and trained by Sheri O’Brien and Copper (Elyan The Auburn Tigress HT CD), shared by me with Tricia and Kevin Dooley. Parents are Chase (MHIT GCH/Can CH C-Myste Baledwr Pursuit of Happiness CD RN HXAs OAP OJP VCX ROMs) and Dory (GCH Raglans Just Keep Swimming CGC ROMb). What a happy group of youngsters they are. Addie is with Debbie Yarbrough at Rebel Collies.

And . . . It’s Champion Addie
November 10, 2015 by myeye
This past weekend, our friend Kim Raleigh took Tuli and Addie to Colorado Springs for the Friday, Saturday, and Sunday shows. Unfortunately, Tuli’s hot spots flared up again and she was not shown. However, her aunt Addie (Chase/Dory) carried the flag. Addie was Winners Bitch and Best of Opposite Sex on Friday to earn her final Championship point. On Saturday — her first time shown as a Special — she was Best of Opposite Sex to earn her first Grand Champion Point and a win over another champion. On Sunday, Addie upped her game and was Best of Breed for a Grand Champion Major and another competition win. She was pulled out for the final dogs in the Herding Group. Addie is now CH ELYAN ADELAIDE ECO PT! Addie is Copper’s and Andy’s littermate — what a group of classic over-achievers! I love the Chase kids!

Gearing Up For A Herding Trial
July 12, 2015 by myeye
Today we went to Dr. Barb’s to further polish our herding dogs. It is so green that it hurts my eyes! Chase is working well. He has reached the point at which he understands silence and the bubble and pressure. His daughter Addie will be trying her paw at Pre-Trial Tested in Colorado next month. I was very proud of her work — she loves herding. Ellen has both of these dogs aiming to peak at the right time. So, photos:
