On May 11, 2002, through the generosity of Carol Craswell (Kelbren Shelties), we welcomed Chet into our home.

Chet settled beautifully into our home, and we can't thank Carol enough for allowing him to join our sheltie family. Chet is such a happy dog. No matter what he's doing or where he is, he's always smiling and wagging his tail.

Chet's promise as a show prospect and his lovely structure were apparent at an early age as evidenced by this photo of him at 16 weeks of age.

Chet FLASH: On July 25, 2003 at two and a half years of age, Chet finished his American Championship. We'd like to say a special thank you to Rose Linton George (Glendower Shelties) for putting those delightful first three points on Chet and to Judy Stachowski (HeartSong Shelties) who put both majors and the remaining points on him.

Rose and Judy did a lovely job of presenting Chet to the judges, and we were thrilled to have them at the end of the lead for Chet's wins.

Chet is the first American and the first Canadian champion for his dam, and he is the second American champion for his sire.

Genetic testing is very important to us, and Chet has had all of the appropriate testing.

Pedigree

In only a handful of breedings, Chet sired four AKC breed champions, three MACH's, and a VCX. Additionally, Chet has multiple offspring that are titled in Rally, Obedience, and Herding.

Our first litter sired by Chet was born in January 2005, and our first homebred champion, CH MACH6 CastleGate's Daily News XF T2B HT CGC VCX came from that litter. We repeated that breeding in March 2007, and we kept MACH10 CastleGate's Mercy Me XF T2B from that litter. Photos and pedigrees for Geraldo and Zelda can be seen on their individual pages.

We tragically lost our beautiful blue boy on February 21, 2009. He'll live in our hearts and in our memories until we are reunited with him again at The Rainbow Bridge. You can read our tribute to Chet here.
