Lacey ‘s Adventure Begins

Jul 302017
 

Lacey (aka Blue Girl) had a bath, a bit of a hair trim, nails trimmed in preparation for meeting her new family.Today the Boyd family arrived to take charge of their new family member, Lacey.  Tonight Lacey is spending her first night in a local hotel (hope she is a good girl and doesn’t get her wonderful new family in trouble!!!) and tomorrow morning they will start the journey to Medicine Hat, Alberta, Canada.  The Boyd family has waited a long time to get their “girl” and I hope she is everything that they want in a dog–she is going to have a great, fun life–and all the attention she can handle.  Promises have been made for pictures of her and stories about what she is up to.  Have fun all–and I hope that tonight Lacey doesn’t keep you awake!!!!

Olivers New Ride

Jul 282017
 

Hey everyone!  It’s me…Oliver.  My hoomans went to an RV show a couple of weeks ago and look at what showed up at the house today!  Can you believe it??!!  M & D say they have been looking at RV’s since before I was born and when they saw this model they knew it was time to pull the trigger.  Not too big and not too small.  It’s juuuuuust right.  It’s a Class A Coach, 26 1/2 feet Thor Vegas model 24.1 with one slide out.  I don’t know what all that means but it looks like there is plenty of room for the whole fam-damly, even Simon and grouchy uncle Parker.  So now we can all take trips and vacations together!  No one has to stay behind (unless they want too).  Mom says that it will be perfect for dog shows.  She says it will be a lot more comfortable while we wait around for Group.  And since I’m gonna to be a star, I need to have star treatment!    Mom is very excited.  Dad is too!

On Monday, July 10 Tasheena and her “girls” had a good day.  Kevlar was awarded Best of Winners and picked up a couple of points toward her AKC championship–just a few more points and Kevlar will be a finished champion.  Liberty earned some points toward her Grand Championship by  being awarded Best of Opposite Sex.  Great day–lots of fun and many nice compliments on her dogs!!!

Sassy’s Wins at the Specialty

Jul 152017
 

Although her head hair isn’t looking the best, Sassy was awarded Best Opposite Sex in the Puppy Sweeps.  Sheri showed Sassy, since Sassy tends to show better for Sheri than she does for me.  Thank you judge Robyn Orvos for the nice, encouraging words about Sassy.After her win in the Sweepstakes, Sassy went on to be awarded Winners Bitch for a 4 point major (her first major win).  Thank you judge Joan Zielinski for this win.  Sassy now has a total of 6 points (needs 15 points total) toward her AKC championship.

Well, it was a pretty darn good day for our team.

Oliver won Best Puppy in Sweepstakes with Sassy going Best Opposite Puppy

In the regular specialty classes:

Oliver won his class, Reserve Winners and Best Puppy in Specialty

Sassy won her class going Winners for a 4 point major.

Simon was select dog adding to his Grand Champion points tally.

Also!….drumroll please………

Cash won Best of Winners for another 4 point major and

NEW CHAMPION!!  

Dina and her support team (Dale Hunter & Cheryl Blair) had Cash looking great.  Dina was on the lead and Cash showed like he knew the win was his.  Thank you Dale & Cheryl for your unwavering support and knowledge.  We all learn new things whenever we are around you both.

Later in the weekend Tasheena added 2 more points to Kevlars win record with a Best of Winners.  That girl has hit her stride and will be a Champion in no time.

Kevlar also debuted in Obedience competition with a qualifying score giving her the first points of her title.   Beauty and brains!

Lynden Dog Show

Kind of a late post about Kevlar at the Lynden (Bell Vernon Kennel Club) show in May.  This is Kevlar  with Tasheena being selected Best of Breed from the class entry over at least 3 Specials for a major win toward her championship.  Excellent win!!!  Congratulations!!!

Water Dogs???

Jul 042017
 

What else are you supposed to do on a nice, warm, sunny day–go to the beach–or in this case the dog yard with a plastic tote full of water (it’s also an easy way to give them a bath!).  Red girl loves the water–Blue girl got wet by “association” and wrestling.  It will be interesting the next time they have a bath (in the laundry tub) to see if they still like water.  Ah, the life of puppies!!!
