Yet another GSD ear taping

This 4m old male GSD puppy has flying nun ears, and they were developing a crease on the inside. I advised taping them. With his owner’s assistance, I taped them up, and he adjusted beautifully. Patricia will monitor them daily, checking for the slightest sign of inflammation or infection. Thank you to Virginia Kennel ClubContinue reading “Yet another GSD ear taping”

Kemy’s ears are UP!!

Kemy’s ears have been taped up for two weeks. We took the tape off yesterday, and lo and behold, they look great! And by great, I actually mean on their way to being great. They will need to be taped again! Kemy’s right ear had a small area of inflammation near the inside edge. BecauseContinue reading “Kemy’s ears are UP!!”

Practicing GSD handling in Petersburg

I got together with some friends today and practiced handling Clyde and See See. They are 2 years old 2/6/23. Here are some pictures of the two of them stacked.

Josh brought his 6m old female GSD, “Kemy”, back over for a retaping. The ears are coming along nicely. They definitely look better than they did, but have a ways to go. We decided to let them “rest” overnight, and we will retape tomorrow. The ears look very healthy, with no sign if irritation orContinue reading “Another update on Josh’s puppy’s ears”

VKC conformation class featuring new GSD handlers

Jasmine brought her friend Lexi with her to dog class, and with Liz helping out, I got video of three GSDs, including two of mine, Clyde and See See, in handling class. The room where we have class is rather small, and the floor is slick, which is fine for smaller dogs, or dogs thatContinue reading “VKC conformation class featuring new GSD handlers”

Falling in love with Clyde

If you’ve been following my blog for awhile you might remember Winston’s Auntie Gail. She is my neighbor and helped me so much with my last litter which included Clyde and See See. She visited the other day and it was quite clear that she and Clyde REALLY missed each other. Each pic is aContinue reading “Falling in love with Clyde”
