Our Bitches

Cher

Hotshots Wanna B-A Diva (IMP USA)

Cher is a lovely bitch who has some great wins in the USA over high quality dogs before being imported to Australia. She has a great temperament and loves everyone she meets.

Cher is a gorgeous red merle who flows across the ground with ease displaying a lovely side gate, a superb front and rear. She has already had some impressive wins in a very short time.

Thank you to Becky Noe (Hotshot Kennels) for allowing Cher to come to me and travel so far from home. Cher has full dentition and a scissor bite, she is due to be hi scored and NDA tested shortly. Watch for her at a show near you.

A Lovely Foundation bitch for Sugargum Spotlight was imported in Whelp in 1997 to Kiko (Colorado How The West Was Won, owned by Leslie Sorensen of Colorado Kennels) a dog of very strong working lines (he herds horses for a living) who is closely line bred on ASCA Ch Jones Reddy Teddy. Kiko is a very dark blue merle and really stamped his type on the resulting seven pups. Spotlight was due to be released from quarantine the day she whelped and in true Aussie Style, she took only two hours and ten minutes to have her pups, with three strangers as mid-wives. We packed her and the pups up and brought them to their new home here at Sugargum where she continued with her excellent maternal instincts.

Prior to leaving the American shores Spotlight was entered in two ASCA shows where she obtained two five point majors, requiring only one more five point major for her ASCA Ch title. Spotlight’s show highlights in Australia include a multitude of Best of Breeds, Runner up in Group, 1998 Canberra Royal Bitch Challenge, Reserve Challenge and Open In Show at the first Aussie Shepherd Championship Show and Trial hosted by the Australian Shepherd Association of NSW. Spotlight also excels in playing with her dolly, and can be seen at home with it hanging from her mouth and her "butt" wiggling from her shoulders backwards.

In mid 1999 Spotlight took a trip to New Zealand and stayed with the owners of her daughter Matty from the "Top" litter. At her first show in NZ she took out Best in Group. She came home a little while later with her NZ Championship.
