In 2001 I researched and found several breeders, all very nice people, but I felt something different with Robin Lee Hood. Besides feeling like I had known her for years, I enjoyed her stories about the dogs and their antics. She was producing very healthy, super gorgeous, and versatile Beardies. We talked by phone and emailed regularly. We waited for a puppy. It was the "Harry Potter" litter. We flew up to Washington to see who would come home with us. During this time, I had been getting pictures of the puppies. It was very exciting. We left our 3 young children with my parents while we took our weekend trip by airplane to get our new puppy. We left very early on a Saturday and returned in the afternoon on Sunday.

The mom was AM/CAN CH Pentangle's Magnolia Blossom, a lovely mom with great movement who has done well in the show ring. She is beautiful.The dad was BISS AM/CAN CH Hermosa Mtn Colquhoun McDuff, winner at the National BCCA in 1997. He was a really nicely put together dog. We got Harry, the pick male, Colquhoun's Sir Winston Brody, call name was Winston. Robin kept Hermoine, Winston's sister,who has also done well in her showing career.

Winston is a bright, energetic, independent and loveable Beardie. He has a stunning head, nice coat, great movement. He got his championship, it just took us a little time to get him trained and get to shows.

A few years later, we wanted another Beardie. Robin was breeding to one of Colquhoun's kids, Budweiser, who is a really high achieving agility Beardie owned by Karen Barratt. So in 2004, we were sent our sweet, got-to-love her princess. We named her Colquhoun's Princess Ebony, and she has lived up to that name. She is a riot, always wanting to sit on a chair, sleep on the couch or our bed. She does some really cool tricks too. She is a real love. Ebony finished her championship "her way" on the July 4th weekend, 2007, at the supported entry days following the BCCSC Specialty. She has a gorgeous head, great movement and wonderful temperament.

We are so happy to have these two dogs in our home as our pets, show dogs, companions.

2011, joining us (written April 15th) this week is Dreamchaser Sapphire Skye, bringing us up to 3 dogs at present. I have enjoyed looking for and making friends with other breeders along the way. Robin (Hood), Jennifer Schyett and I did a lot of research and when this litter was born, we felt confident that we were the luckiest people in the world to be able to get a Dreamchaser/Strathearn dog. Deb Quadland has been a joy to talk with and we are looking forward to our journey with this new puppy in our lives and a new extended family too.
