Patchwork's Twilight Masquerade "Twila"

Blue Merle DOB: Height: 16 1/2" CERF: Clear OFA: Fair

I'd never wanted a blue Merle
until I saw the pictures of Twila as
a puppy. She is very uniquely
marked, sort of a "black tri head
on a Merle body" as one of my
friends put it.
Twila is the foundation of my
breeding program, her bloodlines
are Ch. Patchwork's Blow Your
Horn Gabriel X Ch. Patchwork's
Simply Irresistible.
Twila and I made our show ring debut at the 2007 Mini Aussie Nationals, in Houston
Texas. In her first show she placed 3rd out of 12 in the Open class, and the next day
won the Open Blue Merle class, over a group of 7. Since these were the best dogs in
the country, and we were so inexperienced, I am very proud of that accomplishment!
Twila did compete in Agility, completing her Open level titles in NADAC, but just
never seemed to really enjoy it. She LOVES being the chief watchdog at home, and
keeping everyone organized.
Twila's first litter was born December 9, 2006. There were 7 gorgeous puppies, of
which she took exemplary care. One of those puppies, Rosie, stayed here at Picasso,
and has earned her NAMASCUSA Championship.
