CH Fernbriar Be There Or Be Square - "Boogie"
(Am/Fin CH Yardican Cardiridge Weli Welho x CH Toshay Elenor Rigby RN NAJ OJP)
Born: June 25, 2008        Breeders:  Diana & Mackenzie Mann
Boogie, from our June 08 litter by  Webster &  Berry,  inherited some of
the best traits from both of his parents, not just in structure, but also a
supremely sweet temperament.  Even though we knew we needed a
nice girl from this litter, we just couldn't let this beautiful boy slip away.  
During his show career, Boogie was named Best Bred-by Cardigan
at 3 separate shows, & earned Bred-by Group placings at 2 of them:
Indianhead KC, Eau Claire, WI - Best Bred-by & Group 4
Waterloo KC, Waterloo, IA - Best Bred-by & Group 3
Anoka-Cambridge shows, Anoka, MN - Best Bred-by Cardigan,
  making it the 2nd year in a row for a Fernbriar boy.
Another Bred-by Champion for Fernbriar!
Boogie finished his CH by earning a 3 & 4 pt major at the St Croix Valley shows
in Lake Elmo, MN.  He finished just shy of his 14 mo birthday, with a total of 17
points & 3 majors, including the major he earned by going BOB over his father
at the Key City KC shows in May 2009.  
Boogie was handled almost exclusively by Mackenzie & finished entirely from
the Bred-by classes, which will also earn him an invitation to the Eukanuba
National Championship in 2010.
Boogie has also stepped
into a career as
Mackenzie's Juniors
dog, allowing his
grandpa Handsome a
much-deserved
retirement.   
The time & training he &
Mac have done,
including time in the
breed ring, has truly
paid off & they have
become a great team.  
Way to Go Mac & Boogie!!
The dynamic duo started 2010 off with a real bang.  It started with a Best Junior win at the North Star Herding
Group Club Specialty, under judge Helen Lee James.  Then they decided to do themselves one better by winning
Best Junior at the even larger Land O Lakes All-Breed show, under judge Katie Gammill.  
A Best Junior win with a Cardigan is not an easy task when competing against juniors with some of the "flashier"
breeds - to do it twice in one weekend is something to truly be proud of, made even better by the very nice
comments from the judges.  Also the fact that this is the show where Mackenzie made her very first venture into
the Juniors ring & that 2010 will be her last year as a Junior handler.
