There are several Abelard dogs out there currently pursuing their titles. Here are a few! (currently under construction)

"Betty"
Abelard's Betty Oops

     Betty is the absolutely adorable puppy that everyone wishes they owned. Already a rising star, she has two Best of Opposite Sex in Specialty Sweepstakes wins, shown to perfection by owner Ken Matthews. Betty is by our beautiful Banjo son Quest out of reigning queen Summer. Her full pedigree can be viewed at: k9data.com/pedigree.asp?ID=164581. For info on Betty, contact Ken directly at kbmatthews@earthlink.net.

"Lucky"
Abelard's Miracle at Burns Gardens

     After awhile, most of us start to shy away from placing top show prospects with complete novices, but there was something about Bill Burns' sincerity and dogged determination to get a nice puppy that I found irresistible. Thank goodness. Bill has worked very, very hard to put some nice class placements on Lucky, and was recently awarded his first points and even a Best of Breed honor! We're so, so proud of Bill and Lucky. To see this boy's pedigree (who Bill proudly announces has all of his clearances), please visit k9data here: http://www.k9data.com/pedigree.asp?ID=160278. Lucky and his owner can be reached at rwb@olyridge.net.

"Mister"
Can Ch. Abelard's Mr. Fizz

     His first weekend in Canada, Mister came home to owner Pam Hird with a championship and a Best Puppy in Show win. He also pointed quickly and easily in the U.S. and, when he finishes going through the gangly teenage boy stage, will be campaigned towards his championship. Mister's father is the great Am/Can Ch. Windrift's Just My Style, CD, who was Best of Opposite Sex at the 2001 Canadian National Specialty as well as winner of the Bred-By Exhibitor class at the 1998 GRCA National Specialty. For more information on Mister, contact his owner directly at Pam_Hird@nass.usda.gov.

"MacDuff"
Abelard's Monarch of the Glen

     For the first couple of months of his life, MacDuff was so small that I didn't have the heart to place him in a show home. We kept looking at his structure and saying "It's all there, he's just so tiny." Well mama, look at him now!
               The very wonderful Ellen McKenna decided that she was willing to see if he would keep growing and find his size...and we are SO incredibly grateful that she did! MacDuff has been at home growing coat for a bit but will be campaigned towards his championship in the near future. We think it won't be long until he joins his sister, Am/Can Ch. Abelard Bld n Beautifl at Snowtree, with a title or two of his own.. His pedigree is here: http://www.k9data.com/siblings.asp?ID=136778. For more information on MacDuff, contact Ellen at ellenmckenna@comcast.net.

"Rizzo"
Abelard's Last Gift of Summer

     During the period that personal matters forced us to move away from the show ring, it was Joan Meyers who stepped forward and told me she believed in Rizzo. And just look what she's done with her! Pointed and having the time of her life. Thank you so much Joan.
               Rizzo is by the Best-in-Show, Best in Specialty Show Am/Can Ch. Rush Hill's Watz Cook'n Good Look'n, SDHF, OS and our own Summer, Am/Can Ch. Balmoral's Hot Legs at Abelard, OD. We wish you all the best with this beautiful girl!

Many, many, many, many more to come. I'm trying!
