Lots of pictures and some news!

I have gotten a little behind with the pups and such, so I am posting some news and lots of new pictures we have gotten...

First, I totally forgot to post about some exciting UKC show news! Glenda took Brom & Leo to a UKC show (2 shows in one day) on September 6th. At the first show that morning, Brom won Best Junior and went on to Best Male to complete his UKC Championship!!! He is now UKC Ch. SDW Annadar All About Heart. Then at the second show that evening, Leo won Best Male for 35 points towards his UKC Championship!

Second, we got a training update from Dee on Striker (from the Winnie x Bosley litter). He is currently at Camp Windyglen in Oklahoma with grandpa Don Papin. Don emailed Dee and said that Striker is now coming out of a closed box with other dogs, keen on the lure and keeping up with Atoka and Charlie on the free runs around the property. Hopefully grandma Sally will take some pics of him soon so I can post them here and on the website!

Now for lots of pictures...

Scarlet puppies have arrived...

Scarlet's babies arrived early this morning around 4am via c-section. A VERY big girl was holding up the show and her shoulders were back making it even harder. Our wonderful vet came in and our vet, mom and I performed the surgery and welcomed 3 beautiful babies, which was very nice as I was only expecting 2 at the most! We also spayed her at the same time as this is her last litter. Puppies are pictured below....

"Cecilia" Shannon Down Atonement (14.2 oz girl)

"Alastair" Shannon Down The Edge Of Love (8 oz boy)

"Lizzie" Shannon Down Pride & Prejudice (11.7 oz girl)

Cecilia, Alastair & Lizzie

New Apoll photos

Thought it was time to finally take some new pics of Apoll, she is just over 4 months old and wasn't very cooperative as she is a naughty, sassy little girl. But we got some good pics anyways :) She is so full of herself, with some training she is going to be a show stopper in the ring and a lot of fun to show! I am very happy with my little girl!

New Lola pictures

New pictures of Lola we took today - we are going to work on setting up an area to take pictures of the dogs out front which hopefully we will do in the upcoming weeks. When we do, we will be taking LOTS of pictures of all the dogs to share with everyone :) For now, here are new pics of Lola, enjoy!

Porter News!!!

Porter went to his second show in Euguene, OR yesterday with owner/handler Debi Adams and was awarded WD/BOW for 2 points!!! In two shows he now has 5 points and a major. He has today off but he shows on Saturday and Sunday this weekend. Judge was Ms. Linda Scanlon. We are so excited to see his win pics and find out how he does the rest of the weekend!

Weekend Results

Okay, so I posted about Saturday already...

So Sunday - lure coursing in Hanover, PA
Helen placed 5th in Open and Rupert placed 2nd in Field Champions
Steve showed up with Mya and Layla and Layla earned the first leg of her JC - Mya already has hers but didn't course this day.

Avery completed her CR where ever it was that Joanne was running :) Hard to keep track of them all.

Nothing in the show ring with Leigh in Raleigh and Debi didn't enter Porter this day.

Monday - lure coursing in Hanover, PA
Rupert placed 2nd in Field Champions and Bosley placed 3rd behind him. GiGi placed 2nd in Open for 3 LCX points.
Mya ran but after a few weeks of foot rest (dislocated or popped toe) she wasn't in the condition to do to much, but she ran great mom said! Just needs to get her endurance back up. And Layla finished her JC title!!!!

Leigh won the Breed in Raleigh today and made the cut in the Group but it was a very strong group - so no placement :( But the kids did great!

We are off this coming weekend.

Pics of Layla and Mya in the next post!!!
