Gracie was never shown due to a leg injury at three months old
She was evaluated as show quality by Pat Hastings. (www.dogfolk.com)
 
 
In Gracie's first litter with our boy Joey, 9 of 9 puppies puzzled as show quality with Pat.  
 
In Gracie's second litter with Leb Raah's Zig Zaggin, 6 of 6 puppies puzzled as show quality with Pat -- three of which are "specials".  Kenzie (fka Nala) is staying with us from this litter to carry on in her mama's pawsteps

 
 
Gracie is my once-in-a-lifetime girl.  She's friendly to everyone, overzealous with her favorite people and has such a happy spirit -- it makes her such a unique, unforgettable personality.  She has great instinct on stock,  excels in obedience and wants nothing more than to make her people happy.     We are very appreciative to George and Cindy Mayfield of Tagalong Kennels (www.tagalongminiaussies.com) for our Gracie girl.  We were so lucky to have found them -- not only because they gave us Gracie, but because they are amazing people that we will share a lifetime friendship with.

Click on the herding pictures above to see the photoshows of Gracie and her mom, Kelsey, in their first times herding.  Kelsey passed on several nice traits to her daughter and it was fun to watch instinct kick in for the two of them.
