SHELTIE QUOTE
I was fortunate to have Joe Molloy (Northwood) and Barbara Jacobs (Crisara) believe that I was a novice on whom it was worth taking a chance. Barbara -- on Joe's recommendation -- allowed me to purchase a lovely tri bitch named Crisara Run For The Roses. She was a wonderful show dog, the dam of four champions, and the beginning of Citation Shelties.

-- Jane Howard, Citation
