Imported Tim II, "Bean" HSAs HSBs
I met Bean and his sister Tempie when they were just 1 day old. I had gone to the Belgium and The Netherlands to cheer on the USA agility team at the IFCS Agility World Championships. I had previously met Serge van der Zweep when I had traveled there a couple of years before and purchased Euro.
During my visit I was introduced to Elian Nel who had just had a litter of 12 puppies. I fell in love with Nel and Jim (Bean's sire) and couldn't decide which pup to choose. I finally decided that I would take a male and female pup and their mother! Nel and her pups arrived in Los Angeles in August of 2008. Nel was just as sweet and wonderful as I remembered and the pups were adorable. Nel stayed at the ranch and worked in herding finishing her AKC Herding Championship in early 2009. Bean and Tempie headed up to the Pacific Northwest for "puppy raising". Tempie is still there and lives happily with Julie Dennis. Bean lived with Heather & Bruce Christenson for several months learning the basics of being a well rounded puppy. Bean returned to Fillmore in December of 2008 and did some herding with Robin Elliott. Robin's student, Marsha Dales, was looking for a nice herding dog and she fell in love with Bean. Marsha purchased Bean and are becoming quite a team in herding. Marsha has just started trialing him and is looking forward to a successful herding partnership with Bean.
Bean has a wonderful, friendly temperament and is very kind to people and sheep alike.
