ivy
ASCA HOF CH/AKC BIS BBX CH Spring Fevers entwined ROMX I ROM I

Ivy continues to live on through her offspring whom have proven themselves in a multiple of venues and now as sires and dams.

Penny
AKC GCH/ASCA CH Spring Fevers Heads or Tails

Losing Penny was the most difficult loss to date. Our vets were able to save her and her first and only litter after suffering from eclampsia, but due to the temperature rise in her body infection was spread and we lost her three months later to encephalitis. Penny was one of the silliest dogs we ever raised and her antics are greatly missed by us and the Bogle family who showed and loved her the last two years of her life.

quinn
AKC GCH/Asca HOF ch spring fevers step up

​June 21, 2008 - Dec 19, 2016

It is with great sadness that we move Quinn to this page. Lymphoma took our lovely boy at 8.5 years old. Quinn is our youngest we have lost to this terrible disease. He left his mark on the breed, our hearts, and will be greatly missed.  

morgan
akc ch/asca hof ch spring fevers  i'll be true

Feb 13, 2003 - July 18, 2015

Morgan was our forever puppy. ​She never had a bad day. She had a fabulous show career and her offspring have gone on to do excel in everything.  We miss her smile and naughty ways.  

chevy
CH SPRING FEVERS LIKE A ROCK ATDSD OTDC

Nov 11, 2000 - March 15, 2014

Chevy was hard-headed, but faithful. He was a good working, family dog, and one of the smartest, self-thinking dog we have owned.  He got the job done and did it well.  

trisha
BISS CH SPRING FEVERS SUPERSTITon

Dec 25, 1998 - June 29, 2013

Trish is the little dog that took Katelyn a long way. She helped qualify Kate for 500 clubs, Eukanuba, and Westminster. Together they won Finals and Best Junior with her at ASCA Nationals. She was also BISS Altered at the Atlanta Nationals. They were a fun team to watch.

tabu
AKC ROMX I, II, III, ROM-C-1 DAM/ asca HOF CH SPRING FEVERS TABU STDCSD

Sept 10, 2001 - Dec 26, 2012

I know Tabu would have laid down her life for us. She was extremely loyal and intelligent. She is missed daily, but her legacy lives on in her puppies that continue to produce from her very strong bitch line.

chelsea
CH SPRING FEVER’S STEPPIN OUT OTDCS ATDD

Katelyn was three years old to get Chelsea and the two were inseparable companions until the day she left us.  Chelsea was her first junior handling dog that took her to that first 500 club. She was never bred as Katelyn was always worried about her getting hurt during birth. She served her purpose as Katelyn's best friend.  

TOKEN
CH AQUA DULCE TROLLEY CAR CD

Token was a lovely fun animal that helped us take the next step in Aussies. He was wonderful in movement, looks and attitude. He lacked the stock savvy needed to stay with us in a long range program. He had several Champions and CDX titled offspring. He also sired 'Spring Fever's Utah Jazz', a Colorado Search and Rescue dog. Token lived out the remainder of his life at Kota Kennels in Billings MT until April 2002 where he died at age fourteen.

WHOOPI
 HOF WTCH CH SPRING FEVER'S WHOOPI GAL

Whoopi had to have been the cutest thing on four legs!  She also was the hardest to get a good picture of. 
​She was a thinking stock dog and a big time mover.  A hard combination to get.  
Whoop was a great little producer as well. She contributed to the breed with her talent and fun temperament.

To date she has four HOF Offspring: HOF CH Spring Fevers Tabu STDdcs, HOF CH Spring Fevers Standing Ovation, ​
​HOF Spring Fevers Walk About, and HOF CH Spring Fever Teas Me Please Me

CHANCE
​HOF WTCH CH GOLD NUGGET'S CONTENDER CD

Dec 1, 1990- Aug 6, 2002.

Seldom is someone lucky enough to get one tremendous foundation animal, we were blessed with several.
​Thank you Judy Norris, for this kind, talented boy. Chance was a very intelligent and trainable dog. He was a “thinking” worker. He would use what power was necessary for the situation. His side gait was effortless, he could have easily gone all day. He produced 11 CH, five CDX dogs, six CDs and one WTCH. His offspring have made successful therapy dogs and search and rescue dogs. They are what the Aussie should be: moderate, biddable and intelligent. 

KYELENA
AKC ROM-O-1 DAM HOF CH SPRING FEVER'S KYELENA STDCDS

May 1994 - May 2006

Kylena was a sweet and lovely girl. She produced champions, but her legacy was her offspring who performed in obedience and agility. She lived out her life to 14 with in a lovely companion home.

contessa
WTCH CH SPRING FEVERS CONTESSA

Jan 1, 1989 - Feb 12, 1998

Tess was a close to a 'ten' as you could ask for in an Aussies. She was structurally and physically lovely. She detested obedience so she was never titled there. She did dearly love to work cattle.  She produced six conformation champions, one CDX dog, and one Hall of Fame daughter. 

JOSH
WTCH SLASH V ROCK SLIDE CD

Josh was Cam's first stock dog. He was hard hitting, hard headed, with no quit in him. He taught us a lot about trialing. He sired one VCH, and three conformation champions, as well as several STD, OTD, and CDX dogs.

BONNIE
HOF WTCH CH BRUSHWOOD BONNIE KYE CD

May 31, 1983 - Dec 1, 1997

Thank you Shiree Christiansen for this wonderful start in this breed.
Bonnie did it all and she produced it all. She was an incredible introduction to the breed. Click on her picture to view her titled offspring. But more than titles, she was a self-thinking, intelligent dog that got many of us our start in this breed. Her progeny continue her tradition of versatility.
