Taping German Shepherd puppy ears

My friend Josh got a new puppy in August. She is almost 6 months old. One of her ears is really floppy. So today we taped them up. Here are the before and after pictures. When the tape comes off I will take more pictures. Fingers crossed they stand up! Taping is not a guarantee,Continue reading “Taping German Shepherd puppy ears”

Clyde the show dog! First point! And transporting rescue dogs again…

Last weekend, I showed for 4 out of 5 days at Doswell. I got one win, Clyde’s first point! Thank you Judge Albert Bianchi! Clyde is starting to look good. Filling out nicely as he approaches age 2.

See See at Crump Park in Glen Allen and a spell check

Shephard, Shepard, or SheperdContinue reading “See See at Crump Park in Glen Allen and a spell check”

Dog class and Tiger Woods

Today we “rotated” dogs, “judges”, and handlers, so that after each dog was examined, that “judge” then took the dog as the handler to the end of the line, and so on. So I got a fresh perspective as a “judge”. The firstContinue reading “Dog class and Tiger Woods”

See See’s Win Pics and the Chesterfield County Fair

I got the professional win pics back from the Doswell shows where See See got her first points! I was so happy I went to the Fair and rode a camel! Then of course I had to go to the children’s petting zoo. There were lots of domestic farm animals of unusual breeds. I wasContinue reading “See See’s Win Pics and the Chesterfield County Fair”
