Jean Simmonds—CARMYLIE
Carmylie Bi Bi Birdie (Gwen) has a leg in Novice Agility and Novice Jumpers With Weaves with two clean runs and a first place in both divisions. We had the fastest time among the Shelties in Novice Jumpers With Weaves. As Judy Kelsey so sweetly put it to me, "Not bad for an old broad." At the Sunday PVSSC show, Gwen was Reserve Winners Bitch—close, but no cigar as that would have finished her. JS
Carmyle Brandina Wild Child (Enya) won her classes and her daughter, by new CH Dury Voe Scottsdale, won a big puppy class at the Baltimore Specialty. JS
Carmylie After The Storm won his classes—he's exciting me in the siring department, too. He has had three litters, all with keepers. Two are pointed—Eileen Lanser and Nadine Iroff's little tri son has a major and a daughter has a Reserve from the 6-9 Class. Another has several Bests In Match in Florida. JS
Annette Talbot
CH. Chailea Carmylie The Heat Is On has a leg in Novice Jumper With Weavers. Annette and Torrem were entered in their first agility trial on Friday, March 7th, at the Sportsplex, in Winchester, VA. They also had a clean run and came in second on time, only four seconds behind Jean and Gwen. CG

On March 30 at the Upper Marlboro Kennel Club Obedience Trial, Shamont My Hearts In The Highlands, RE earned the second leg for her CD. AD
Bob & Lyn Krivanek—DUNDEE
We're thrilled to report that it's now AM/CAN CH Dury Voe Scottsdale (sired by Dundee Arizona)!! Scotty finished his US Championship, Sunday, March 30th, at the Fingerlakes KC, under (GSD breeder) judge Ann Barbash. This was Scotty's third major, the other two being four-point Specialty majors under June Penta and Dorothy Christiansen! Both other wins were BOB over Specials, so he had a pretty nice go. Thanks to Sunway Presentation for most of the points and the finish, and to Diane Steele, who handled for one of the BOB's last month. Watch for Scotty as a move-up at the National in Greeley!! Thanks so much, also, to our fellow exhibitors and friends for the lovely comments (via Judy Kelsey). LK
