Page 1 I am proud to submit a brag about my photogenic Sheltie, Andante's Son of Foxcroft (Dante). He was chosen by Shelby Price to be the December cover page in her 2012 Keynote Specialties Shetland Sheepdog Calendar, which the CKSSC supports annually. The photo of Dante and Santa (a.k.a. Jim Harvey, CFO of the Bluegrass Barkery) was taken at the Bluegrass Barkery by Jennifer Munson, owner of Jennifer Munson Photography. Part of the proceeds from this annual event goes directly to the Bluegrass Chapter of the National Canine Cancer Foundation in Lexington, KY. It is an honor and a pleasure to have a Sheltie selected to be in this beautiful calendar in addition to supporting such a worthy cause as canine cancer research.Debbie Cunningham

Page 2 I am so pleased to report that “"Danny" added a new title to his name in Florida last week. Danny is now officially "CH Raisin Danny's Boy" as he, expertly piloted by his breeder and co-owner, Linda Guihen, received his last major to finish under Judge Thomas Kilcullen. Along the way, Danny also garnered two Bred-By Exhibitor Group 1's - we are very proud of our sable boy!Elizabeth MullaneyPenmarron Shelties
