Foxy Wins a Major

        Foxy wins a Major!!  Foxy is the bitch puppy I kept from the litter of last October.  She is very typey for the breed and moves like a dream.  When you breed a litter, the object is to improve over the parents, and she has done this nicely.  She looks a lot like her mother Dash did at this age, and has her dad Wileys' mellow outlook.  I did not get to show her myself as I had to work, but my sister Michelle took her in for Winners Bitch at the Timberland Valley Dog Fanciers Show.  I am hoping to get her to some more shows this summer, but my new job works every weekend, so we shall see.  Her sister Addy is still for sale to a pet home, and I am also going to sell the mother, Dash.  She has been a nice show dog, and has potential to be bred to a nice dog again, but I will not have time to do any more litters for a while.  Please contact me via email if you have any interest.  Thanks!

       Happy spring to all!  We have enjoyed a nice run of sunshine here, it is now over, back to rain and gray skies.  But the birds are still singing and it is still warm. 
        I have reposted my ad to sell the last puppy, Addy.  She is very sweet and eager to please, really would make such a nice pet for someone.  If you know of anyone looking for a great companion, let me know.  I have begun a new job that will have to take priority over most everything for the next few weeks--I am going to driver for Boltbus--check it out online if you don't know what it is........Thanks.

Foxys' first show

HELLO!!  It was a truly beautiful day here in the Pacific Northwest........80 degrees!  We are all enjoying the spring weather. Good report from Nubs' owners that he is a happy dog, learning lots all the time.  He has learned to close the door after he comes in!  They are really enjoying him.
       I took Foxy to her first shows over the weekend in Elma, WA.   We went Reserve Winners Bitch both days, which means second place.  I am very happy with that, and with the way she showed for me.  We had two kind judges that were gentle with the puppies, too.  Judys' year old red girl won Winners Bitch for the major both days----it was a nice entry.  We had interest from the public as always, and it was nice to have all cropped/docked, docked tail with natural ears, and all natural, too.  A nice variety of GPs for the public and judges.  If you get a chance, look up the ads and articles in the recently published Show Sight magazine.  There are good articles and ads for German Pinschers. 
                I have started a new job, so I will post more when I can......

Hello all------ Spring has really come again!  The swallows are home, a SURE sign that we are done with winter weather.  The puppies are over six months old now, hard to believe.  I will post pictures of  them as they come in from the new owners. 
    Foxy and I will be in the show ring next weekend in Elma, Wa.  It will be good to see our dog show friends there.  We have been practicing and going to class, but she is such a puppy still.  She is very sweet and eager to please though, so not hard to train.  She loves her lap time, too.  So do Dash and Wiley----if only I could have three on my lap at once---but two is the limit. 

Spring is here

        What a beautiful morning in the Pacific Northwest!  The sun is shining, birds are singing, truly a pretty spring day.  It is very green here, and as you might guess, a lot of that is GRASS........so get the mower out and clean up those yards!  At least those of us that love our dogs have a purpose other than just a nicely mown space--we provide a play area for dogs, too.   There are a few spots in mine that have had puppy exploration-----namely holes.  I am glad to give up some pretty for all the laughs I had when we had so many puppies romping around this winter.  Now that there are only the two, there is still a lot of playing, but naps, too.  Wishing all a Happy Easter, too.

Welcome Spring

       Hello------ Here's hoping that the start of spring is a little nicer wherever you are than it is here!  We have had gray, rainy days, with a little snow and sleet mixed in.  Although we had a few beautiful days, we are back to a rainy stretch again. 
        Dog shows are really going to start up again in June, until then it is let the puppy grow up, get in a little training and keep posting those ears!  She will have a really beautiful crop when they are all the way up.  Until they are, I won't post any more pictures of her. 
        Keep some sunshine in your heart........there isn't any outside for now!!!

New Pictures of our B/T boy, Nubs

       Nubs is the name given to the handsome black puppy born in this litter.  He has very happy owners, and he looks like a very happy dog!  I think he will look a lot like his sire Wiley when he grows up.  These pics were provided by his owners, of him at four months. 
        Enjoy the sunshine we are supposed to have in the coming days-----it sure beats the dusting of snow and icy roads we had this morning.
         Think spring!
