| Welcome to Baycliffe Australian Shepherds. We are a small kennel located in central Minnesota. Showing dogs has been a passion of mine since I was eleven. I am currently taking a break from the ring to attend school at the University of Minnesota, Twin Cities. I hope you enjoy looking these girls. It was the least I could do to show them off. |

| AKC/ASCA Champion Meadowlawn's Fire In The Sky CGC "Rhiannon" (Ch. Bosheleur's Ring of Fire CD STDs X Kinship Chyna Doll CD STDds) May 22, 2001 Full Dentition, Scissors Bite, OFA Good, CERF Clear, 18.5", 42# Champion Producing |
| Rhia is my everything. We shared alot of firsts together. My first show dog, champion, and the first to show me what an Aussie is. She had her first and only litter with me beside her. Due to dialated cardiomyopathy, Rhia had a pacemaker implanted in December of 2004. She is doing excellent. She is a little girl with more attitude than she needs. What's hers is hers and whats yours is hers. She is now retired and enjoys her evenings with my dad. She can help with chores and sleep in my parents bed while I'm gone. There is nothing she loved more than moving around the ring while being applauded. Rhia's show career is something we're very proud of. She was a multiple best of breed winner and a group placer. She lit up the ring with her attitude and I was proud to be on the other end of the lead. There is nothing I love more than her. She is my inspiration. |
| Baycliffe's Miss Independent "Jenna" (AKC/ASCA/UKC Ch. Briarbrook's Oh Happy Day X AKC/ASCA Ch. "RHIANNON") May 18, 2004 Full Dentition, Scissors Bite, OFA Pending, CERF Clear, 19", 40#, Spayed AKC Pointed, ASCA Pointed (altered) |
| Jenna is from my May 2004 litter out of Rhia. She is a beautiful red merle bitch, just what I wanted, from a litter of which reds were not expected! She loves our family dearly. Cuddling, smiling, groaning, and playing with the sheep are her favorite activities. She had multiple BOB puppy awards in ASCA, and is pointed in AKC and in the ASCA altered program. Jenna is currently training in agility. |
| I would like to send out many thanks. Fist to my parents for letting me own these girls and giving them loving care while I'm attending school. To all my "dog show friends" please keep in touch with me. You know who you are, and I miss you. Thank you for all you've done for me. Meadowlawn Kennels, you know how much Rhia means to me and where I'd be without her. Thank You. All my puppy buyers, I hope you are truely happy with your Baycliffe babies. |
