NAME:  ARBA MASTER, RARITIES, and IABCA Champion Bluegrass Encore of Heartland
SIRE:  ARBA CH Patchwork's Bluegrass
DAM:  IABCA CH Linderland's Mar-A-Lago Bay

Irresistible good looks, a wonderful and comical disposition like his sire's, correct structure, and beautiful type are but a few of the many reasons we chose to keep, raise, and show our young blue merle male Encore.  As a young puppy Encore became a real  show dog earning several Best of Breed, Res. Best in Show, and Best in Show awards.  Now as a young adult Encore is continuing to accumulate points and judges' accolades. He has earned his National and International IABCA Championships and his Championship title with ARBA by the time he was 16 months old! He has also added the title of RARITIES Champion to his list of accomplishments.  Thank you to Rachel and Betsy Hyer for their excellent help in handling him. Encore will be at home with us continuing to endear and entertain all he meets and, hopefully, make a grand sire in the years to come.

During the spring of 2007 I traveled to southern Missouri to visit Linda Perry at Patchworks Farms and immediately fell in love with Serenade, who was aptly named "Panda" when she was a baby.  This little bundle of black tri energy and good looks won my heart and she was certainly "Not For Sale".  Three days later after three days of convincing, Linda let her come home to South Dakota with me.  Lucky us at Bluegrass Kennels!!!
