Am/Can/UKC Ch. Shelgrande Tabloid Talk NJP, NGC-V, NJC-V, TN-N

Rumour originally came to Sunnyvale as a client dog so that Beki could complete his American championship. However, when his breeder decided to sell him, we decided he should stay here forever. Rumour is now co-owned with Kathy Kozakiewicz of Istari Shelties. She lives just across town from us but Rumour stays at our place.

Rumour has exceeded our wildest expectations! He is the sire of 3 Canadian champions, 1 American Champion (with 2 more pointed) he has a bunch of titles on both sides of his name. Rumour took up agility at the age of almost 7. He loves it and loves spending time with his other mother (this dog has 4 mothers!) Andra Williams. He lived with her most of 2005 training and going to agility. He is home right now because Andra took home his son, Sunnyvale Pedal to the Metal……. Rumour was ranked in the Top 40 for 2004 conformation with limited, mostly owner handled campaigning (thanks for Wendy Melnick for those lovely group placements!)

Many thanks to Corinne and Rex Rainsforth for sharing this truly wonderful dog with us. And thanks to Kathy Kozakiewicz for sharing the ride … its been a lot of fun and there’s more to come! Rumour is Pennhipped in the 90% percentile, rated Good by OFA, eye normal and vWD (VetGen) clear.
