Dog Show Catch Up

I've had a lot of fun at dog shows the last two weekends. First, our "Kendall" - "Anamchara Jacquard" - made her debut at the Western New York specialty show. I was very proud of my exactly 6 month old girl, and received some lovely compliments on her. Here are some candid ring side photos taken by Pete Culumovic of our 6 to 9 month old Puppy Bitch class under judge Lloyd Graser. I think she is fulfilling her early promise very nicely :).








Then this past weekend, Kendall's litter mate "Anamchara Prototype" - "Kane" - was piloted to his first 5 pts. in the expert hands of co-owner Michelle Rogowski at the Kenora, Ontario show. Kane is also co-owned by myself and Cynthia Charbonneau. We're so excited about how well this youngster was received at his very first shows! While Kendall was RWB at the Monarch KC show in Dorchester, the weekend was topped by finishing our "Jolie" son, new champion Anamchara A Step Ahead. "Oliver" is owned by Victoria and Debbie Brewster, and I'm so glad that they had enough faith in their boy to let me show him for his last points after a winter hiatus. Pictures coming soon!

Beach Afternoon

I closed out my week off work by taking advantage of the sun and warm enough temps that we were finally able to enjoy on Sunday. Still not tropical by a long shot, it was good enough for me!

There were a lot of hearty souls who not only were sunbathing, but were swimming as well. Water sports were in full gear already!






This boxer-type dog and it's two young Dobe buddies had a lot of fun, although none went into the water.








A couple of young guys came to play frisbee, and to give their pet duck a quick swim. When it was time to leave, the duck had other ideas!!











Not a perfect beachy day, but darned close ... it was a great way to spend my last day off!
