Sire : Shelmanna Swan Song Dam : Tiakina Tinker Belle CDX ET
Peppe was the first Sheltie in WA to gain an Obedience Championship. She gained her titles
under the old rules, requiring wins. She also was WA’s first Sheltie to gain a herding title.
My beloved Peppee started out by wining her graduations and from then on was rarely unplaced
in Obedience. She was invited on many occasions to compete at the Invitational Classic. She has
been Top Obedience Dog at B&DDC and Shetland Sheepdog Club on many occasions. She has won
numerous Awards but it was her willingness to please that made her so special. Pep has been a
delight for young and old at schools and aged cares. She has also danced twice for Telethon.
This photo is Pep at Sydney Sheltie Spectacular 2006. Her last event before retiring, 3rd place in
Utility (9 Entries) 4th Place in Open (12 entries.)

Congratulations to Clive and Lucy
Does age preclude you from participating in dog sports? Not if you own a Sheltie!!
Shelties are not only wonderful companions, they are a great working breed too which makes them very suitable for competition sports.
In 2014 Lucy was the latest Sheltie to gains its Agility Champion title. She is owned and run by Clive Bruce-Smith who is 75 years young
Clive is very active in the dog sport world, and competes with his two Shelties. His ex-wife is Irene Bruce-Smith, also owns and competes with two Shelties - one of which is very close to her Agility Champion title, and she has a third youngster in training.
Clive's little girl Lucy (Ag Ch Arajento Viva la Highway) is the third Sheltie to gain the title of Agility Champion, the other two being brothers, Ag Ch Tiakina Tour de Force owned by Nicole Ford and Tiakina Tuff Act to Follow owned by Sandra Yearsley. Sandra's 78 year old mother Renee Hards also owns and competes very successfully with a son of Tiakina Tuff Act to Follow.
