From my most recent litter, Caper is sired by Highfields Winter Weather (Badger) out of Vankrols Taegan (Rosie).  He has a pretty outline, very nice movement, good earset, and pleasing expression. Like his dad, Caper is very moderate and at this time it appears that he will be safely in size. At 7 months he is 14 5/8" and is coming together nicely. He never went through an awkward stage like many sheltie puppies do - he simply grew up.

I am very excited about this young man.  He has got all that I hoped for in this breeding - a Badger son with all that attitude that will make him a successful show dog. I thank my very dear friend, Javier Cespedes, for his encouragement and never losing faith in this puppy...and for his assistance with all the puppy pictures, and pictures at his first show.

Caper attended his first weekend of shows in Deland, Fl the last weekend in September. He had a wonderful time and received many compliments from other exhibitors and from both judges. On Saturday he was one of four dogs pulled for consideration for Winner's dog (4 point major) by Judge Donald Booxbaum. Now he just has to finish growing up

Below are some puppy pictures of him followed by pictures taken at his first show:
