Not completely Shannon Down related, but we had to brag for our friend Joanne Ronning and her "Murphy" (CuRas A Clockwork Orange SC, FCh, SR, CRX-3, ORC) son "Aren".  Aren was bred by Kiesha Crawmer - Kismet Sighthounds and her "Murphy" has been a wonderful asset to Shannon Down.  He has sired 3 wonderful litters for us and we couldn't be prouder of what they have accomplished.  Aren is out of Kiesha's girl "Sabrina" who also is the dam of our "Kevin".  So it's all in the family :-)  Now to the news...

Aren won his Open stake in Hanover and went on to win Best of Breed and took a 4 point major which finished his AKC Field Championship!!!  He then ran for field (a couple of times) and he is now a Best In Field winner too!!!

Isaac owned by the Johnson's, took another 2 points in Minnesota under Michelle Billings!  He only needs one more point to be singled out and then he just needs his majors!
