<![CDATA[CELTIC BRAE AUSTRALIAN SHEPHERDS & HAVANESE - Blog]]>Tue, 10 Feb 2026 13:27:30 -0600Weebly<![CDATA[Plans!]]>Fri, 04 Oct 2024 14:23:46 GMThttps://www.celticbraesfarm.com/blog/plansWhile the page has been quiet, we have been planning! With the market in general being a little slower we have pulled back some of our plans. We do still have plans! I'm relying on families coming forward to be on the waiting list more than ever! So, if you think you might be interested in an upcoming litter contact me and I can share more details of our plans to see if they fit your needs.

We do have a planned early 2025 Aussie litter (Fizz) & Havanese litter! Limited availability on both so contact me soon! 

Mid/Late 2025 we are planning an Aussie litter (Zima). 

If the timing might work or you want additional details let me know. All of these dogs are easy to live with smart and biddable. We pride ourselves on temperament first. We want the true versatility of the Aussies to shine from easy of living with to dock diving, agility, scent work, obedience and conformation!
]]><![CDATA[Updates!]]>Tue, 07 May 2024 14:42:17 GMThttps://www.celticbraesfarm.com/blog/updatesSo I'm not great at updating this page but I do try and update the rest of the pages regularly! We have Havanese puppies for the first time! They are so fun, sweet, snuggly and just full of life! They are a small dog, that doesn't shed, hypo allergenic, known for being friendly, lively little clowns that will wiggle their way into your hearts! 

​Aussie update! We have puppies coming! expected at the end of June! Waiting list has already started! 

We also have been waiting for our young Aussies to grow up to get them in the show ring. Last weekend Smooch finally got back to showing and won 2 points towards his AKC championship! He's maturing into a lovely boy!

]]><![CDATA[Dog Show Updates!]]>Thu, 03 Jun 2021 17:29:09 GMThttps://www.celticbraesfarm.com/blog/dog-show-updatesOver the Memorial day weekend I packed up 3 dogs and one of my daughters and went to a show in Bloomington, IL. Goose won his class each of the 4 days but didn't get to take home any points. Fizz won her class two of the days and went Reserve Winners Bitch to a major one of the days! Navi (Our Havanese) took home her first point from the puppy class! But the highlight of the weekend was my daughter competing for her first time in the Novice Junior class! She won her class all 4 days! She has plenty to work on to continue to improve but it will be fun to watch her grow and learn!
