Dressy, aka Greta

I just heard from Dressy’s new owners, who named her Greta. Sandy and Bob take great care of her, and she seems very happy, as evidenced by these great pics. They will be taking her to puppy classes soon, and she already knows basic commands. She is a natural retriever, and also likes to playContinue reading “Dressy, aka Greta”

Happy Birthday Peggy!

I just found out today is Connie’s mom’s birthday too! Peggy has been a great puppy owner, asking lots of good questions and dealing with some really stubborn ears! Here are some pics of Peggy with Connie and family. Happy birthday to you too!

Happy Birthday Zach!

One of the pleasures of dog breeding is meeting nice people. Here are some pics of a gentleman I met who ended up coming back frequently just to pet puppies and help with socializing them. He brought toys and love which they needed lots of! Happy birthday to the puppies who are 7 months oldContinue reading “Happy Birthday Zach!”

Winston the teacher

I like the way Winston schools Clyde and See See, just like Jane did. Here he is with Clyde first, and then See See. The third video shows him letting them have the toys.

Last day of show report, running errands, and current pics

Our last chance to win, and Winston got another Reserve. Boo.The judge gave me a compliment on See See as I was leaving the ring though. He said he thought she was going to be nice, and that she is just “loose” now, which is true. As I have mentioned to some of the otherContinue reading “Last day of show report, running errands, and current pics”

Loosy!

Thank you so much, Tiffany, for sending this great pic of Loosy! She looks so beautiful and well cared for. I love the way each puppy from this litter is unique yet resembles each parent or grandparent. In Loosy, I see her dad’s expression and her Grandma Nellie’s pretty long-haired soft looks. I’m also admiringContinue reading “Loosy!”

Gladder and Sadder

Winston got Winner’s Dog and Best of Winners again today, with a little more competition too! He is a very sweet boy. My last kitty, Mel Gibson, died today. He was a very sweet boy.

Glad and Sad days

Winston did great at the shows so far on this five day weekend in Doswell. (I like Doswell! It is close to home and a very nice well run indoor arena.) Yesterday, Winston got Winner’s Dog, and today he got Winner’s Dog and Best of Winners! Clyde and See See each got Reserve today. SoContinue reading “Glad and Sad days”

Jane

After having 11 puppies, many female dogs would take a long time to recover. After she had her puppies, Jane’s coat looked pretty shabby, and her teats were stretched beyond recognition! I can’t believe how good she looks after just 6 months! Her coat is back to that dense luxurious feel, and her abdomen isContinue reading “Jane”

Johnny and Jane took a trip

Johnny and Jane were born in WV where I used to live. I just sold the house; the closing was on Thursday. So we were there one last time. They got to hang out at the house and run along the creek down in the bottom. We were comfortable there for a few years, andContinue reading “Johnny and Jane took a trip”
