Jake is now a TEXAN!

Here is an email I recently received from Joe, Jake's owner. I hope you all enjoy! Remember..we love hearing from all of you! "We just moved out to a lake in Texas a couple months back and Jake is absolutely loving it out here! Aside from the squirrels that taunt him all day, he's befriended an ugly duckling (we named Daphne) that has no friends other than Jake and she visits our property daily. Jake is the most curious and loving dog I've ever owned and there's not a creature on this earth that he doesn't get along with as soon as he meets them. He loves the water and spends all day eating, napping, playing and mostly following around whichever person is the most interesting at that moment. He loves to help with everything!"

Birmingham Dog Show

Sadie took Reserve Winners Bitch Friday and Sunday at the dog show in Birmingham, Alabama. Now if only she can take Winners Bitch this coming weekend...that would be awesome. Dahlia, Sadie and I are going to the Perry, GA dog show this weekend. It will be a HUGE show with more than 30 girls entered.

Dahlia also received a Normal rating for her OFA thyroid test. Yea! All we have left to check are hips. I am still waiting for her to come into heat. It is taking FOREVER!! I just hope she does....yikes! Here is Dahlia's win picture from Franklin, TN..she is so pretty!!

Catch Up

This has been a crazy past month! So much has been going on! At the end of February, Sadie and Harley competed in Marietta, GA for the International Championship. We had a blast! With the VERY APPRECIATED help from my niece, Sadie and Harley were both able to complete the requirements to obtain their International Championship titles! They are now Int'l Champion SC-N-DD IMA Knockout V Masaya and Int'l Champion Teardrop von Haus Tiefenbach.

In addition, we have wrapped up all of Harley's health testing. She was PennHipped..which is VERY interesting by the way, as having average hips for a Great Dane with no indications of Degenerative Joint Disease. Yeah!!

A couple weekends ago, Sadie, Dahlia, and I went to Franklin, TN to the dog show. While we were their, I had their thyroids tested. We are still waiting on results. It was a CRAZY weekend too! Friday and Saturday were bummers for the show ring, but Sunday, Dahlia WON! She took two points! It had crossover major possibilities, but just didn't work out. :-(. Oh well! We had a good time and Dahlia got her picture taken. I will post when the pictures come.
