Winston at the July 1st-4th Doswell, VA shows

This weekend was a four day dog show weekend, starting Thursday. Winston was entered all four days. Honestly, there wasn’t a lot of competition. Winston won on Thursday! Yay! We lost on Friday. Boo. He got reserve on Saturday. Ok. Sunday, I hurt my foot and didn’t go! Sunday was going to be the tiebreaker!Continue reading “Winston at the July 1st-4th Doswell, VA shows”

Love these pics of Mustang!

I get to see Mustang every now and then because he lives in Richmond. His name is “Chief” now, and at almost 5 months, he weighs 60lbs. His ears look great, after some iffy up and down time. I love his nice dark colors and great substantial structure. Being a longhair, he looks huge.

Loosy, Dry and Wet

I just got these fabulous pics showing how Loosy’s ears are doing. Very impressive, and the socialization is going great too. She gets to go hiking, swimming, and meets lots of people along the way. I love hearing this, because I know the family is not just having fun with her, but all the earlyContinue reading “Loosy, Dry and Wet”

Random pics of my sweet babies

My sweet puppies are coming right along. They are 4 months old, well let’s say 4 and a half. They will be 5 months on July 6, 2021. I weighed them today at petSmart. See See weighs 48 lbs., and Clyde weighs 52 lbs. I am still fighting with See See’s ears. Please, if youContinue reading “Random pics of my sweet babies”

Videos of actual taping of ears

The first 3 videos show me actually taping See See’s ears. The 4th video is extra tips for success. See See’s right ear is “breaking” over, creating a crease which can be permanent, causing the ear to never stand properly. Truth is, it might stand on its own, but I want to make sure. ItContinue reading “Videos of actual taping of ears”

Winston’s Win Pic from June 11th Fishersville Show

Winston is half brother to puppies. He is the only puppy I kept from Jane’s first litter. He is also the best babysitter ever.

Those ears again, and How did we do at the show?

Believe it or not, See See’s ears are still standing! I took the tape off Friday morning. They looked great at the show that day, and she won over Clyde, and then got second in the Puppy Herding Group competition! Winston got 2 points toward his championship (15 is needed and he now has 6)Continue reading “Those ears again, and How did we do at the show?”

Re-taping See See’s ears

See See’s left ear tape got messed up, and the ear started to lean way in, probably because I let Winston babysit her. They must have played a little too hard. So, I took the tape off that ear, which happened to be the one that had stopped standing on its own. And guess what?Continue reading “Re-taping See See’s ears”

Taping 4 month old GSD Ears

The Jane and Cash litter of 2/6/2021 turned 4 months old yesterday. Time to start thinking about taping ears. The female I kept, See See, did have both ears up, but one has flopped back down. I am showing her this Friday in a puppy show, so I decided to tape today. Unfortunately, I hadContinue reading “Taping 4 month old GSD Ears”

Reclining Together

This is Pony, although he has a new name now. He is with his Golden Retriever buddy all crammed onto a recliner. He’s got a nice dark face! And his feet are bigger than the Golden’s! Many of Jane’s puppies went to homes with children of all ages, other dogs, and other pets, including horsesContinue reading “Reclining Together”
