The Specialty was awesome event for the Aspenvale Bearded Collies and I wasn't even there!

We were thrilled when Miles took an Award of Merit under judge/breeder David Hyde, Natterjack Bearded Collies. Miles won the Specialty last year but it was wonderful to have him recognized by another breeder/judge. He really is a wonderful dog! Many thanks to Cheryl Poliak, his breeder and handler for this event.

To top it off, Windy earned her Versatility Award. This recognizes the fact that she earned CKC titles in three different areas plus her Herding Instinct Certificate. She also surprised us by winning the Highest Average Scoring Bearded Collie in Rally Obedience in both the Novice and Advanced levels. This was the first year that this award was offered!

Congrats to all the other winners and the organizers of the event!
