Bean has been an unexpected joy and treasure. It was clear from the day he was born that he was something special. He came to us when he was 9 months old, and Laura's first time in the ring with him came away with his first major, at a supported entry show. Since then, Bean has won a variety of puppy groups and finished his American Championship. He will continue to make the occasional appearance in the breed ring as he matures and will begin to experiment with Rally Obedience and Herding.
Bean is continuing to shine as he grows up! At only a few months over the age of 2, Bean received an Award of Merit at the Bearded Collie Club of America National Specialty. A natural competitor, Bean was surrounded by many of the top winning Beardies in the country that day. We are so proud of Bean and his accomplishments!
A year later he again walked away from the 2012 National Specialty with an Award of Merit. He finished 2013 in the Top 5 Beardies earning Grand Champion Points in California and Ohio and the #1 Owner-handled Beardie earning Grand Champion Points in Virginia, all with very limited showing.
Bean started 2014 with a bang earning a Group 1 over 227 herding dogs at the Novi, Michigan shows. Bean will continue limited specialing this year. He will be owner handled or occasionally shown by our good friends Lisa Bettis and Ryan Wolfe.
