Bramley'N Avalon's Beat Goes On

Fiona (Fee) is the latest addition to the Avalon crew. She is Traveler's daughter. Her mother, Sadie, is Mac's granddaughter — which makes Fee Mac's great-granddaughter. Here is Fiona's pedigree.
Fiona's registered name is actually paying homage to our first Beardie, Cher. Yes, the Beat does go on!

We're very proud of how this little girl is turning out. At her very first match — first time in the ring anywhere — Fee won Best Herding Group Puppy and very nearly was Best Puppy in Match! She free stacks, but also lets me hand stack her, moves like she is floating, and is a just a pleasure to show. Dog shows don't impress her much, and she just hangs out and takes everything in.
We made her first official show appearance in April at the NCBCC Regional Specialty. She placed 3rd in her Sweeps class and at the all-breed show the following day, placed 4th. Not bad, considering Mom took her 8 hours to her first official show! [LOL]
Fee now has 3 breed points, one from the York County Kennel Club show, one from the Vacationland Dog Club show, and the latest from the Pioneer Valley Kennel Club show.

Brother Rocky also went to the match for his first time, and he went Winners Dog both days at the York County Kennel Club show. He has had absolutely no practice doing anything like this. After working with him for a bit, Rocky started to get the hang of the whole thing. He stacked nicely, and has lots of reach with very nice movement. We will be working with him and starting him in some nice small shows this summer. He shows lots of promise.
