Baer (Hearing) Tested Normal, Cerf (Eyes) Test Clear - October 2003.

Magpie is a true delight who keeps us entertained with her antics. The resemblance between Stitch (as a puppy) and Magpie is amazing, and we have high hopes for our little girl. She has tremendous bone and a good head for a tiny bitch along with a harsh broken coat. Combine her strength with flexibility, great angulation and a wonderful top line and you have a lovely package.

We look forward to the future with her - in the show ring, out in the field, and in the whelping box. We were so thrilled with her litter of 6 (all males) whelped in April  2003 by Troon Quarry Outlaw.  Watch for Durango (co-owned with Aspen Ridge Terriers) and Joker - owned by Sabine Müller, Germany.  Joker's first kids are on the ground now in Germany - they look super ...good bone and nice strong heads.  Durango's first kids are due the end of November - we are very excited. 

Like her Sire and Dam, and her brothers - Sultan and Storm, Magpie has excelled in the show ring. Highlights in the  showings include:

2002 JRTCC National Trial, 2nd in her Open Bitch Class of 23, and Reserve Best Canadian Bred Bitch.
2002 JRTCC Western Regional Best Canadian Bred Bitch.

As a puppy she also did very well and highlights include:

Desert Terrier Trial, May '02, Terry Petrie - Puppy Conformation Champion
Del Sol Trial, May '02, Michelle Davies - Reserve Best Bitch Puppy
Central California JR Trial, April '02, Brian Male - Reserve Puppy Champion & Best Bitch Pup. Puppy Champion that day was Magpie's littermate Storm!
Central California JR Trial, April '02, Sandra Ferber - Reserve Best Bitch.

In 2003 Magpie had only attended two  trials  due to maternal duties. At the JRTCC Regional Trial, Magpie was Reserve Best Open Bitch to her niece, MsMunroe. 

 But the thrill of a lifetime has to be our  trip to the JRTCA National Trial in beautiful Maryland.  Magpie won her Open Under Rough/Broken Bitch class.  With 44 terriers in the class it was definitely one of the bigger classes at the trial.  She showed her heart out for me - like usual - and was on top form the entire class.  Then...she went on to be named Reserve Best Open Bitch!!  What a thrill and we can't thank Bob Clough enough for the honour.

In 2004, Magpie has continued to do well - we have shown to 6 judges and... she has been  Best Open Bitch x 4, Reserve Best Open Bitch x 1, and Best Open Terrier twice.  

Magpie will be bred in the later part of 2004 or early 2005.
