From Ms Hedgepath " I fell in love with this bitch when I saw her- she has it all... she has breed type, she is feminine, she can move, and she acts like a corgi..."
HERDING GROUP IV
POCONO MOUNTAIN KENNEL CLUB
judge Houston Clark
September 12, 2008
From Mr. Clark "I like Cardigans to look like Cardigans- she has correct type, correct movement and she has balance. I don't like those big heavy dogs, and I don't want Cardigans that look like Pembrokes. She caught my eye and held it...

BEST OF BREED/HERDING GROUP IV
DVCWCA / BRYN MAWR KENNEL CLUB
judge Dr Gary Sparschu
From Dr. Sparschu " She has it all- a complete package... She has the correct silhouette, front, efficient groundcovering movement, level topline and beautiful tailset. She is what more breeders need to strive for- Cardigans don't need to be heavy and clumsy; they can be pretty and sound and correct"

Canine Learning Experience; January 2006; 3 Months old
The Canine Learning Experiencs is one of the largest A matches on the East Coast, and the "Moon" litter was just a few days over 3 months old when we attended. Sera shocked us ALL by winning BOB over her littermates and a few older Cardigan puppies- and then on to a Herding Group I in some very serious competition- under a Herding Breed Enthusiast!
Little did I know that this was just a glimmer of things to come!
Breeders Dreams
(L to R) Ch Xtacee Music of the Night (from the Broadway Litter '05)
Ch. Xtacee Dancin In The Moonlight; Ch Xtacee Moonlight Serenade; Ch Xtacee Neon Moon
The Moon Litter was a breeders dream- 4 puppies went into show homes-- 3 of them are multiple Group placers- 2 are Herding Group Winners and Sera is a Regional Specialty Winner.
Through the accomplishments of the Moon Litter, their mother, Vi, earned the 2006 CWCCA Ch Vestavia's Avant-Garde Memorial Trophy

2006 CWCCA National Specialty
Sera was the first dog I felt truly comfortable enough to enter in Bred By at the National Specialty. I had no hopes of winning, or even placing, in this very competative and prestigious class; after all, Sera was barely 7 months old, and the youngest dog in her class that day!
I was absolutely thrilled to make the first cut- and floated on air as breeder/judge Janet Robinson pointed to Sera for Second place- right behind another Nicky daughter!

Another Supported Entry- Another Major Win-
