We were blessed to welcome our Strider x Sansa litter on Monday, September 6th!! Sansa took Labor Day quite literally and we whelped a beautiful litter of 6 boys and 1 girl!! Mama and pups are doing terrific and yes, they are all already spoken for.
Kimber completed all 10 tricks selected on July 26th for our AKC evaulator, Kyle--achieving her AKC Trick Dog Novice Title (TKN)!! She did FANTASTIC and we were literally finished with all 10 tricks in less than 5 mintues. She's such a smart and beautiful girl!!
We enjoyed the most AMAZING show weekend the end of July. It was HOT - but it was also FABULOUS!! Tyberius won WD and BOW under Judge Pamela Peat on Saturday, July 24th...He performed so beautifully and really shined for a 3 pt MAJOR!! It was a terrific weekend and we really enjoyed competing with all of our friends in San Diego again.
Oh my goodness - it was AWESOME getting back in the show ring!! Definitely had to knock the dust off though...What a wonderful show - our stud dogs brother finished his Championship and took Best of Breed on Sunday! It was our baby Kimber's first show and she did terrific. Exactly as I had hoped as a happy, excited puppy! She did everything she was asked with puppy-like exuberance and as one of the judges commented to me, "she is so lovely, she just needs more ring time". For a judge to go out of their way to comment is not very common--and I felt honored that this particular judge would do so. Getting ready for Bahia Sur in 3 weeks!!
I am SO looking forward to our upcoming participation in the Orange Empire Show out in San Diego! It will be our very first show...in a very long time. I am thrilled that CA is getting back to having dog shows!! Now, if we could have some here in AZ, that would be even more Awesome!! I sure miss our shows out here and enjoying time with so many of our wonderful RR friends!!
