Graebel is a gentle, loving, dignified boy with an outstanding, tight pedigree.  He has a beautiful head & expression, with eyes and a stop many breeders would give their right arms for.  In addition, he has gorgeous structure & movement, and correct coat. 

Graebel has a very appealing masculine personality, is willing to do whatever you ask of him, and is a nice, steady boy.  He enjoys going for rides with me in the truck, where he stands on the back seat and rests his head on my shoulder.  He loves running in the ball field with the other dogs, where he vies for the front dog position and grins as only shelties can do.  

After just a short time with us he was already very devoted.  Whether  flirting with me, gently tugging on my skirt or sleeves to get my attention, snoozing on my bed, or playing "get the feet" with the other dogs, he never fails to bring a smile to my face. 

I very much enjoyed showing him at the 2004 National, where he made the cut in open sable and was positioned in the final lineup in fourth place by Judge Shelby Price -- edged out at the last moment by a beautiful client dog shown by Graebel's co-owner, Mark Hersman!  Ahhh... so close!  

Graebel was Winners Dog at four of the six Whitehorse shows in June 2005.  Since he was down in the Pacific NW, I decided to send him to a weekend of shows in British Columbia with professional handler, Penny King.  She handled him beautifully -- he is now a Canadian champion as well!

The final two points...
Thank you, Penny, for your lovely presentation of our boy!
Even out of coat, he looks rather handsome!
