Gone To The Dogs

My life is more than a little crazy as I have two time-consuming hobbies, but being recently retired I hope to have more time for both. I've been showing dogs since 1967, but about 10 years ago decided to cut back on dogs and dog-related activities and add an "easy" hobby, like a tank of fish. I STILL breed and show dogs, but many tanks later I also keep a variety of aquarium fish. Hiking,gardening, writing, reading, cooking, and (especially) dining out are also favorite activities.

New Pups Coming

Jingles

Meet Jingles & Bella, two 6-week old pups from Argus & Tess C. They will be traveling to Minnesota sometime after Westminster. I have no idea where they will end up, or if either will stay wit me. We'll see how they develop. Ideally, Jingles would stay in the area and perhaps go on a co-ownership, with my keeping the option to show him. Bella may be competing with Mariah for a permanent spot in Paisleyland.

And then there's Eddie who is still down with Lisen & Jerry in Iowa, but will be spending some time in Canada before I make a final decision on him.

We'll see how he develops, and whether he should go to a show home or a pet home.

Although you can show any dog without a breed disqualification, and many people do show dogs that are less than outstanding, we don't. Only the very best dogs get shown, the ones who can finish their championships quickly and with excellent records.
