3rd and 4th May 2014 produced fantastic news from Sweden.  Shanldmain Blu Genes (Krista), bred here at Shandlmain and exported to Sweden into the more than capable hands of Micael Johansson of Seabound Rough Collies, won her first CC with Best Of Breed, then went on to win BEST IN SHOW, this being a Working Group Championship Show in Sweden.  Krista showed non stop all day for Micael and had to beat Champions from other Breeds to win Best in Show.  Very Proud Day!  
The following day and another show for Krista, whereby Krista showed her socks off again to win her second CC and again Best of Breed, Krista went on to win Best Junior in Show and Reserve Best in Show (as it is known in the UK) or Best in Show Runner Up (as it is known in Sweden) beaten by only one other dog!  Krista is only 11 months old.  We are both extremely proud of her and what a fantastic weekend for Micael.    

25th May 2014 Today we travelled the 4 hour journey to Bath Championship Show where our homebred Sable Rough Collie Bitch, Shandlmain Mariposa, was shown under Mrs Jan Underdown and qualified for Crufts 2015.  Posa will be taking a break from the ring now for a while whilst her coat changes.
