I am putting lots of thought into breeding. I have several options. It’s really hard to decide! I can breed SeeSee again during her next season that is coming up any day now. I know that SeeSee will be a good mom, and she produces nice puppies. She’s also thoroughly health tested. I definitely wantContinue reading “Decisions decisions….”

Niles came back to visit!
Niles, now named Zero, visited the other day. I wanted to see him around the age of two, to evaluate him to see if he should be shown or bred. Right now he seems too thin, and immature for his age. He looks more like a 1yr old! But that’s not necessarily a bad thing.Continue reading “Niles came back to visit!”
Happy 12th Birthday to Johnny and Jane!
Here are some pics I took today. They are both really slowing down. We don’t walk the mile to the church and back anymore. They both just get too tired. Jane never recovered fully from the fibrocartilaginous embolism of the spine two years ago, and in the past few months she has seemed to regressContinue reading “Happy 12th Birthday to Johnny and Jane!”

Avoiding Euthanasia
About once a month I participate in rescuing dogs from overcrowded shelters in the south and transporting them to the north to less crowded shelters where they have a chance to survive and get a home. Here are a few pictures of the 5 dogs I transported last weekend, of the 13 who made theContinue reading “Avoiding Euthanasia”

So the club members are stepping up to fill in. Tom Dowell and Kyllian Genzmer are not club members, but volunteerContinue reading “Virginia Kennel Club handling class”

Kevin handled Daphne in the classes today and in the winners group, and got Best of Opposite to her sire, Luc, who won Best of Breed at the show today in Doswell. As if that wasn’t enough, Roz won Best of Winners on Thursday! Here areContinue reading “Daphne is a Champion!”
Clyde and See See
As I said in my last post, the household has calmed down considerably since no one is in heat right now. See See is back with her brother/littermate Clyde and they can relax. Here are some pics and a short video.
Winston, Roz, and Daphne
Ever since the most recent heat cycles ended, the house has been calmer. Winston, now neutered, is fully acclimated to staying with Roz and Daphne, and See See is back with her brother, Clyde. Only a half door separates Winston from Clyde, but there isn’t anything to fight about anyway. Johnny is back to eatingContinue reading “Winston, Roz, and Daphne”
Happy 18 month birthday to the Frasier litter! Born 1/11/2024
I hope to receive pics of the other puppies from the litter: Duke (Martin), Güenther (Frasier), and Zero (Niles) to also post on the blog. Even though they are 18 months old, they are still “puppies” because they are the youngest!
