FHF Rock My World (Retired)

Rockie (now Wrigley) was our first AKC Miniature American Shepherd she is out of my Australian Shepherd Wildhearts  Iron Jawed Spitfire "Lily" and First Harmony Farms "Magic" Alta Vista Do You Believe In Magic. Little Miss Rockie is the dam for both Ambrosia and Dany, she was an amazing and athletic little dog who would bounce and do back flips in the air of your stomach, she did training in agility, and effortlessly passed her CGC & CGCA and earned multiple trick dog titles. She is such a smart and sweet dog, she adored everyone that she met and kids were her favorite.

Rockie had a limited career because as a young puppy when we lived in Minnesota, she broke her leg on ice just below the elbow. It did require several surgeries and the leg did heal, but she wasn't able to compete in conformation like we had hoped because of it. Rockie has been retired and lives with a family we have been long time friends with in Chicago where she gets to visit with Lily and occasionally Dany & Ambrosia too.

Rockie was full panel clear, OFA Excellent hip and good elbows, and passed all her CERF exams.

Forgive this photo - Rockie is terribly out of coat and Dany was still in the "coyote" stage of growing where she looks lanky. What I love about this photo is that it is a family photo of Rockie, Payson & Dany just before Ambrosia was born.

Rockie after her surgery from her broken leg, she was on kennel rest with a special bandage for a few months which was hard stuff for a young puppy. The first surgery didn't quite heal right and she had to have a second surgery to re-set it again which worked...but it meant the poor pup was on kennel rest for a little longer.
