WE DID IT!

Clyde is an AKC Champion! He won today at the Greater Fredericksburg Kennel Club show in Doswell, getting a 4 point major and Best of Winners! I don’t have pics from the show yet, but here he is settling down to go to bed after his big day. I will post show pics when IContinue reading “WE DID IT!”

Winston has fun in the sun

Today would have been my 38th wedding anniversary. Chuck and I were married on August 16th, 1985. Winston was born in 2019, and my husband died the following year. Winston was Chuck’s pick of the litter. He named him Sir Winston Churchill because when he was born, he had a fat round head. We alwaysContinue reading “Winston has fun in the sun”

Nellie Goes To The Vet

Nellie has been limping, and I found a swollen area/mass on her left rear leg. I was terrified that the vet visit would indicate the likelihood of cancer. The vet, Dr. Miller, said Nellie had pitting edema, and he could not feel a mass. He prescribed Rimadyl, a common non-steroidal anti-inflammatory given to dogs. BecauseContinue reading “Nellie Goes To The Vet”

Remember Kemy?

A few months ago, I taped Kemy’s ears for my friend Josh. Last weekend, Kemy won major points at the dog show in Doswell, beating me and See See! Check out those perfect ears! Look at the previous posts to see “before” pics. https://shepherdsight.com/2023/01/17/gsd-puppy-ears-2/ and https://shepherdsight.com/2023/02/12/kemys-ears-are-up/

Best GSD show pics ever!

Well, of my dogs, anyway! Just got these pics, and I can’t believe how pretty they look in these professional photos done by David Sombach at the Virginia Kennel Club show on June 25, 2023. https://davidsombachphotos.shootproof.com/ https://thevirginiakennelclub.com/ Clyde and See See need one more major win to become Champions under AKC rules. There are twoContinue reading “Best GSD show pics ever!”

Success!

The Virginia Kennel Club https://thevirginiakennelclub.com/ had their show this weekend in Doswell. Saturday, we did not win. Luc, the dog I (unsuccessfully) bred See See to, won and finished his Championship title! As you can see from previous posts, he is a very nice dog. https://shepherdsight.com/2023/05/29/see-see-was-bred-on-5-27-2023/ https://shepherdsight.com/puppies/ Sunday was, like, totally, the best day ever!Continue reading “Success!”

See See is not pregnant.

See See had an ultrasound today at Springfield Vet, and we saw Dr. Kara Kolster, a reproduction specialist. Unfortunately, no evidence of pregnancy was found. I didn’t realize how much I was looking forward to puppies. I’m very sad.

Are there puppies in there?

Still waiting. See See is only about 2 weeks post breeding, so it’s too early to tell if she is pregnant or not. Therefore, I’m treating her like she is, just to make sure she gets the best of care. She’s on the futon taking a nap next to a blanket with her grandfather’s pictureContinue reading “Are there puppies in there?”

Johnny loves his people.

Johnny is particular about who he spends time with (and so am I). Here are a few of his special friends.
