November 22nd, 2013:

The past few months since our last update have just FLOWN by! We have had a very successful time since then, both in and out of the show ring.

Collie Club of NSW June 2013 (Judge Mrs Dot Wilson NZ) - 

"Allegra" (V. A Spell I'm Under) wins the large baby bitch class and pips her brother "Griffin" (V. Toil N Trouble) at the post for BEST BABY PUPPY IN SHOW. Their brother "Bolt" (V. Breakin My Spell) placed a very close 2nd to Griffin in their large baby dog class;  to finish of their highly successful Baby Puppy careers.

Collie Club of Victoria July 2013 (Judge Mr Tomas Rohlin [Denmark]) - 

Bolt - 1st Minor Dog, Switch (V. Loadstar) - 3rd Minor Dog, Griffin - 3rd Puppy Dog, TJ (Baqilodge Zero In On Me) - 2nd Aust Bred Dog, Allegra - 1st Minor Bitch & BEST MINOR PUPPY IN SHOW, Lydia - 1st Open Bitch & RESERVE BITCH CHALLENGE.

In this period we also titled no less than THREE new Australian Champions! We congratulate:

Multi BISS Champion Vedamea Diamond Dior "Sparkle"

Champion Vedamea Walk Into My Spell "Potter"

Champion Vedamea Walkin On Sunshine "Calypso"

Both Potter & his sister Calypso titled within two weeks of one another, and naturally they both had to do it with a Runner Up Best In Group

(Group 2) EACH!

Proving that Vedamea Collies embody both Beauty AND brains, "Twice" (Vedamea Twice An Heir CDX RAE) added another Obedience title to the end of his name, while his younger brother "Morse" (Vedamea Morse Magic) was working on more legs of his first obedience & rally titles! Congratulations to their lovely owner Val Day for all her hard work and commitment in taking her beloved boys to dizzying heights!

Wow what a day! Team Vedamea were well represented at this years Sydney Royal amongst a total Collie (Rough) entry of 50 under Mrs B. Mueller from Switzerland. We thank those familiar, and new, faces who came and said 'Hello' throughout the day, admired & enquired about our Collies.

"Potter" (V.Walk Into My Spell) placed 3rd in an all-Sable Intermediate dog class, "TJ" (Baqilodge Zero In On Me) won a large Open Dog class and went on to take out RESERVE DOG CHALLENGE! Not to be stood up, "Lydia" (Ch.V.I'm Nobody's Alibi) was placed 2nd in a large Open Bitch class and then re-entered the ring settling for nothing less than RESERVE BITCH CHALLENGE!

Our magnificent tri-colour "Zac" (Ch.Baqilodge Quiver N Arrow) was awarded BEST OF BREED Collie (Smooth) and despite being the only Breed representative entered, he charmed the crowds and received glowing comments from the lovely Swiss Judge.

Below are our three "stars" on the day; "TJ" showing off his tricks, "Lydia" showing off her head & "Zac" Showing off his ribbons!

March 23rd, 2013:

Today marked our first day at the 2013 Purina Sydney Royal Dog Show - Sweepstakes day.

We had three entries in total made up of our stunning boy "Phantom" (Ch V.Knight O Fantasy) in Veterans 10yrs+, and "Allegra" (V.A Spell I'm Under) & "Sassy" (V.Illuminosity co-owned with Tiarne Perkiss) entered in the Baby Sweepstakes class. "Phantom" did not place in his extremely competitive class of beautiful veterans but he looked absolutely magnificent in the ring, a true 'stayer'!!! Little "Allegra" & "Sassy" acted like they owned the show from the moment they arrived until the second they left - taking everything in their stride and loving all the attention. Both girls performed to perfection and althought "Sassy" didn't make it any further, "Allegra" was cut from the Working Dog Group and returned later to compete in the final round - eventually winning 3RD PLACE BABY PUPPY SWEEPSTAKES in a HUGE entry of 79 babies, under All-Breeds judge Mrs Denise Smith (Qld).

January 19th, 2013:

Jordan took "Lydia" (Ch Vedamea I'm Nobody's Alibi) and "Zac" (Ch Baqilodge Quiver N Arrow) to the Combined Northern Canine Comittee All Breeds Champ Show over the weekend. They walked away with 3 x Best of Breeds for Zac, and 3 x Best of Breeds and a RUNNER UP BEST EXHIBIT IN GROUP  for Lydia!!! What a way to welcome in the start of our showing year!

With 2012 drawing to a close we would like to take this opportunity to wish everyone a

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year
