Tailbrite Timepiece's Starlite Trilogy

HIS CALL NAME IS "BENJAMIN"

Benjamin is an old style Cardigan with plenty of bone and prosternum. He is our security system (in a good way), our emotional support dog and a wonderful family member.

LINEAGE

Benjamin's father is the well-known Tailbrite Dark before Dawn. The call name was Crescent. He was an AKC Champion and sired many a NW Cardigan Champion.

Benjamin's mother is Beaguile Good to The Last Drop, another AKC Champion. Her name is London, and she lives in Hood River, Oregon.

PERSONALITY

Benjamin is the first to come, the first to try to please. He is also the self-appointed "Fun police," and it's his job to make sure that no one has too much fun. He has passed on his wonderful temperament to all of his offspring, who have excelled in the show ring, in Barn Hunt, Agility, Canine Good Citizen, and as all-around family dogs. He has puppies in Denver who love the ski slopes and puppies in Pullman who are doing very well in the show ring. He's definitely an all-around dog.

SHOW HISTORY

Mary Joyce and Denise Waiting handled Benjamin in a limited showing to his Championship in 2018. As all of our other dogs are Grand Champions, we hope to get Benjamin back into the ring in 2024-25 to finish his grand championship

OTHER HONORS AND TITLES

Benjamin currently has his Trick Dog and Canine Good Citizen awards and is currently working on Novice Barn Hunt.

LITTERS

As of 2024, Benjamin has produced seven litters with puppies from each litter doing well in the show ring or at home. He has puppies who live in Denver, Seattle, Pullman, Texas, and Virginia, and they all do very well in the show ring or at home. One of his last litters produced "Timepiece's Uptown Girl," which became a Champion on her first birthday with limited showing. Elle is now a Grand Champion with many Best of Breed placings. We crossed Ben with an Aurigan Champion named Corvete and that mating has produced a dog called "Maggie May." She did extremely well at the Cardigan Nationals in 2021 and is on her way to many Best of Breed and Group placings. We are extremely proud of the many champions that Ben has produced.

Benjamin

Timepiece I am, I said

HIS CALL NAME IS "RAYLAN"

He was the firstborn out of our very first litter, and he has surpassed our wildest hopes and dreams at every corner. He is an ambassador for the breed, he is always happy, ready to play and is always affectionate. He's smart as a whip and loves to hunt rats and chase balls.

He is producing champions, and those champions are producing beautiful puppies as well.

LINEAGE

Raylan's father is the well-known Merrythought of the Keeping Quilt. The call name is "Keeper". He was an AKC Champion and has sired many NW and National Cardigans.

Raylan's mother is Aurigan Timepiece's Sweet Caroline, another AKC Grand Champion and who is now owned by Mary Joyce and Mark Long. Under the loving care and handling of Mary and Mark, Caroline has excelled at Barn Hunt, Canine Good Citizen and Trick Dog. She is currently learning how to race in something called "Fast Cat." Her call name is Caroline.

PERSONALITY

Raylan is the sweetest, most affectionate dog that you could ever find. Nothing bothers him, and he can live in anyone's house. He is always in high demand from my friends who love to have him visit for a week or two, and he is always the first to greet a newcomer to the farm. He has his own favorite cat that he loves and will chase tennis balls until YOU are tired.

SHOW HISTORY

Raylan was the best puppy at the 2016 Regionals in Richland, WA. At that show, he won award after award and an Award of Merit while in the big dog class. He went on to beat many older dogs at the 2017 Nationals in the Megan class and was awarded the Best Brindle Cardigan dog in the country. Since then, he has gone on to become a Bronze Grand champion. To date, he has also placed in many Best of Breed places. His sons Vinnie and Maverick are doing extremely well in the show ring.

OTHER HONORS AND TITLES

He was awarded The Canine Good Citizen this year, as well as the Advanced Urban Canine Good Citizen Ward. He has his first trick dog title and is currently working on getting his first title in Barn Hunt. He has multiple Fast Cat titles and a Novice Scent work title.

And of early 2024 he has started his agility training and has succeeded at many levels at CPS with different handlers.

LITTERS

Raylan has puppies located all over the states of Washington, Virginia, Texas, and Oregon. The four puppies from different litters who went to Nationals in 2019 all were in the ribbons under various judges at that show. His puppies show the same wonderful personality and ease of living with humans. He truly is the special dog in every respect.

Timepiece's Uptown Girl

HER CALL NAME IS "ELLE"

We are still reminded by all our friends that for the first two weeks of her life, we were going to find her a home because "She has too much white for what we like in a Cardigan." By a month old, she had captured our hearts with her antics and personality. And just about every judge who sees her now remarks about how she owns the ring and is just so sure of herself. That seems to be an understatement in Elle's world...

LINEAGE

Elle is sired by our Benjamin, and her dam is our very own Rachel.

PERSONALITY

Elle is extremely sure of herself in most situations. Judges have called her regal, assured, self-reliant, and extremely intelligent. She is also extremely protective, friendly and alert. She is the first to cuddle in a chair with someone on a cold winter night, and the first to ask to play on a warm day. In the show ring, she learned to pull on my skirt for attention if I wasn't doing my job 100% to her satisfaction. She's quite the Cardi.

Elle is now the mother of several litters of wonderful puppies. Tiggs lives in Arizona, Edward lives in LA, and Maisy lives north of Portland. Lucy and Arby have stayed with us. 

Elle's Last litter produced an incredible array of correct Cardigans.  Large round bone, great toplines, excellent angles, but most of all, terrific temperaments.  Two puppies went to families in Bellevue, another to a family in White center, and a handsome male went to Edmonton, Canada.  We kept a sassy black and white puppy named Emily.

SHOW HISTORY

Elle won her class and went on to Winner’s bitch in her very first show at just six months of age. On her first birthday, she garnered points for her third major and became an AKC champion. She caught the eye of renowned breeder Barb Hoffman and placed 4th in the class of 22 at the 2019 Cardigan Nationals. A day later, she placed first in her class of 21 under the esteemed breeder judge Jon Kimes. We truly could not have been more excited. She has now won many Best of Breed placings and her Grand Championship, and as long as she loves it in the show ring, we will continue to have fun with her wherever she takes us.

OTHER HONORS AND TITLES

Elle is a Canine Good Citizen. AKC Temperament test, an Intermediate Trick dog title, and is on her way to being titled in Barn Hunt. In 4 Barn Hunt classes on her first weekend, she qualified in three (I made a handling error in the 4th) and won two of the classes with terrific times. Mark Long currently handles her in Barn Hunt, and the two make an incredible team. They are working towards their Barn Hunt Open title and hope to have it by October 2019

LITTERS

Elle is only 4 years old. Currently, we are hoping for another litter of puppies from this wonderful young lady in the spring of 2023. Again, all puppies are spoken already spoken for.

Timepiece's Toshay's Your Song

HER CALL NAME IS "Lucy"

Lucy was shown on a limited basis as a puppy.  She loves the show ring, and we hope to have her back in the ring in the future.

Until then, she has introduced us to the world of agility where she is a natural.  She is beyond fast and agile and the old people (us) have a hard time keeping up with her.  

We love her dearly and she is an energy package unlike we have never seen.  Watch for her in both the agility ring and conformation ring.

LINEAGE

Lucy's father is the well-known Champion "Toshays' Treasured Timepiece". The call name is "Vinnie". He was an AKC Champion and has since been retired to a home with a very loving couple.

Lucy's mother is  Timepiece's UpTown Girl", another AKC Grand Champion who is on her way to her bronze Grand championship. Elle has excelled at Barn Hunt, Canine Good Citizen, Trick Dog, Fast Cat and is now trying to learn the ropes in Agility. Her call name is "Elle".

PERSONALITY

Lucy is loving, excitable and ever so smart.  It took her no time at all to learn many of the items in an agility field.  She is a tiny little package who loves to be on your lap or chasing balls.  She may be tiny, but she is mighty.

SHOW HISTORY

Because of her size (she is within the Cardigan standards at 28 lbs and 11 inches at the shoulder) we have held off getting her back in the show ring.  Instead she is teaching us the ropes when it comes to being in an agility field.  We have high hopes for this young lady in the future.  And if we ever find the time, we hope to get her into herding trials.

OTHER HONORS AND TITLES

She is the top dog in our book, having won some early puppy classes and is now winning in her agility classes.  She'd win a lot more if the old folk could be faster.

LITTERS

We haven't found the right male for Lucy yet, but we keep looking for the right match.

Timepiece's Toshay's Can You Feel the love

HER CALL NAME IS "ARBIE"

Arbie is as different from her full sister Lucy as a pup can be.  She is quiet and always hangs back, being the second of siblings.  

We kept her because she is the spitting image of her mom in so many ways and we always wanted a brace with her mom.  Instead she has become our current champion in the show ring and our ambassador to our wonderful breed.  She is kind, sweet and is always at your feet.

There are so many great qualities about Arbie from her classic head and sweeping neck to her low set tail and wonderful side gait.  She has round bone, a long breast bone and round, marshmallow feet. She is fun to show in the ring and always catches the judges eye.

We plan to show her to her Grand Championship in 2024 and some time in the fall breed her to a local Cardigan that would compliment her style and temperament.

LINEAGE

Arbie's father is the well-known Champion "Toshays' Treasured Timepiece". The call name is "Vinnie". He was an AKC Champion and has since been retired to a home with a very loving couple.

Arbie's mother is  Timepiece's UpTown Girl", another AKC Grand Champion who is on her way to her bronze Grand championship. Elle has excelled at Barn Hunt, Canine Good Citizen, Trick Dog, Fast Cat and is now trying to learn the ropes in Agility. Her call name is "Elle".

PERSONALITY

Arbie is quiet and sweet and always hangs back to let the other dogs have their say.  But when alone she is incredibly playful and fun to be around.  We are hoping that she will pass her sweet temperament on to her first litter. 

SHOW HISTORY

With limited showing Arbie quickly became Champion.  We hope that her win streaks will continue to her Grand Championship.  She'll be in the show ring all summer long in that endeavor.

OTHER HONORS AND TITLES

She has her trick dog Novice rating and will be going after her CGC, CGA, and CGU titles this summer.

LITTERS

We have several NW males in mind for Arbie's first litter.  We'll let everyone know as soon as we chose.

Timepiece's Shorewood's Dancing in the Dark

HER CALL NAME IS "EMILY"

Emily hit the show ring with such honors as Best Puppy, Star Puppy and Best Puppy in the December Sweeps in 2023.  She will be joining her half sister Arbie in the show ring all summer long as she continues her journey towards Champion and then Grand Champion quest.

LINEAGE

Emily's father is the well-known Grand Champion "Shorelines Madiba". The call name is "Madeebs". He is a AKC Grand Champion who has since started a new world in agility.

Emily's mother is  Timepiece's UpTown Girl", another AKC Grand Champion who is on her way to her bronze Grand championship. Elle has excelled at Barn Hunt, Canine Good Citizen, Trick Dog, Fast Cat and is now trying to learn the ropes in Agility. Her call name is "Elle".

PERSONALITY

Emily is everything that we wanted to improve in our line.  She is so friendly and loves absolutely everyone.  She is the only one who can get old man Benjamin playing like a puppy.  

SHOW HISTORY

Because of her size (she is within the Cardigan standards at 28 lbs and 11 inches at the shoulder) we have held off getting her back in the show ring.  Instead she is teaching us the ropes when it comes to being in an agility field.  We have high hopes for this young lady in the future.  And if we ever find the time, we hope to get her into herding trials.

OTHER HONORS AND TITLES

She is still a baby.  We have hopes to start her in agility, Trick dog and Fast cat.  The future is open for her.

LITTERS

We haven't found the right male for Emily yet, but we keep looking for the right match.
