ELLIS had so many friends and loved everyone he met. He competed in performance events and found his way into quite a few commercials. He was a large part of our educational programs offered in McMurray, Upper St. Clair and South Park. He made so many people smile and is so very missed.

Sadie’s Titles and Certificates:
- AMERICAN KENNEL CLUB S.T.A.R. PUPPY
- CHAMPION POINTED
In 2019 arriving at the Greater Pittsburgh International Airport was this beautiful blue-merle Shetland Sheepdog. Traveling with the breeder’s daughter in the cabin of the jet for safety and security, I couldn’t have been more excited to meet Sadie. Shooting Star Shetland Sheepdogs from California sent us our newest companion and performance dog. Sadie came from a breeding by Debbie Majewski. Debbie’s dam Shooting Star’s Storm was bred to GCH. Ch. Blue Heavens Lethal Weapon gave us great genes and attitudes of winners!
Sadie and I are getting ready to enter many different performance events. We are enjoying training at home and at Keystone Canine in the South Hills of Pittsburgh where I am a member. Non-members and members have lots of different programs to choose from at the Keystone Canine.
