Napa Show

Rox, Gordito, and I headed to the Wine Country Kennel Club show Friday and Saturday.

On Friday under Judge Linda Clark

Rox – went Winners Bit€h, Best Of Winners ,Best Opposite Sex, and Owner Handled Best Of Breed

Gordito – Cantina’s Happy Hour with Loretta – went reserve winners dog his very first show

On Saturday under Judge Dr. Donald Sturz Jr. Gordito went Puppy Best Of Breed. The show ran very late and we didn’t enter groups until after 530pm. For a young dog on his first show weekend, I was so happy with how he handled showing indoors with multiple rings, music, and tons of people cheering for both rings. I can’t wait to see how this boy matures.

Mila’s Puppies Have Arrived

We welcomed 8 adorable pups into the world on the 9/27/32. Mila is an amazing mom. Her active labor started around midnight with the first girl joining us at 2am. The last pup also a girl joined us at 8:48am. We have 2 Black Boys, 2 Yellow Boys, and 4 Black Girls. We will be in touch with our waiting list but it is looking like we will have a couple of opening for males. Fill out our Puppy Questionnaire to be matched with a puppy.   

Rox’s First Show

At the last min I decided to enter Rox in her first United States show in Vallejo. She is just a few month post puppies and while she was not in full coat, she was looking great. Rox went reserve winner bitch Thursday and Friday (that means she was the second-best female dog of the day). She had a great time showing and I am looking forward to working on her Championship title over the next few months! 

Mila X Boggie

This will be a fantastic paring! This breeding should produce some beautiful show prospects as lovely service dogs. Both parents are obsessed with water and will retrieve for days. Mila is a heart dog though and though. She lives to please and looks at you with the most soulful eyes. She is always trying to check in and see what you need. Boogie is a big happy boy that loves helping his owners with chores around their property. This stunning boy has had a fantastic show carrier and is a Champion in the USA, Canada, and Poland!

Placerville Show

Brew had a great time in Placerville winning his class each of the 3 days. He also passes his Eye and Heart testing!!!! Bean also made her conformation debut playing show dog in the adorable 4-6 month old puppy class where the goal is for the pups to have a good experience in the ring. She made good friends with the judge and was a happy little puppy!

Mila’s First Show

Mila made her conformation debute at the Specility show in Turlock. She earned a 3rd place in very nice group of dogs in open black. This show was super fun and we can’t wait to go back next year.
