I began my journey with Australian Shepherds in 1965 when I spent the weekend with a cousin and fell in love with a blue merle puppy from a litter they had.  I took her home and the love affair has now been going on for some 43 years - her name was Pittman's Skieter Marie.  I am now ten generations down from Skieter and I still occasionally see a glimpse of her in the eyes of my pups!
 
The name Sundown was adopted in 1974 with the first Sundown dog also being my first champion - CH Sundown's Maize of Bonnie Blu.  I am very proud that Sundown is Hall of Fame Kennel 24.  I continue to compete in conformation, obedience and agility.
 
I am a Senior Breeder Judge and have had the distinct honor of judging in 24 states, Canada, Belgium and twice in Germany.  I have been honored with judging at nine National Pre-Shows and the ultimate honor of judging Best of Breed at the ASCA National Specialty in 1999, Altered in 2003, Agility in 2005, Conformation Finals in 2007 and the Agility Finals in 2009.  I also judge obedience (ASCA) and agility (NADAC and ASCA).
 
I continue to breed for dogs of high intelligence, with a sound body and outstanding temperaments.  My association with this breed has brought me countless wonderful dogs and friends!




                                            NEWS FLASH

This past weekend (4-24/25-2010) She's A Lulu At Sundown (Lulu) made her conformation debut by taking 3 first and a second in the Bred by Exhibitor class and a Winners Bitch for a five point major - not a bad start for this beautiful young lady.  I also had the pleasure of handling Hatcreeks Wknd @ Bernies @ Sundown (Andy) to his first five point major!!  Andy is a littermate to Lulu - what a weekend!!

Not to be passed by - ATCH-II Taisho Macy Parade At Sundown had seven out of nine qualifying runs in agility - she is such a good girl!!
