Great quote here

         I found this on the internet, don't know what breed it was originally intended for, but it sure fits the German Pinscher! 


"Your German Pinscher is your friend, your partner, your defender, your dog. You are his life, his love, his leader. He will be yours, faithful and true, to the last beat of his heart. You owe it to him to be worthy of such devotions." (Anonymous)

How Time Flies!!

          Hoping all who read this are doing well in the new year.  We are as busy as usual around here.  Starting to see and hear signs of spring......frogs singing in the pond, geese starting north.  My new job is keeping me busy some days, others idle now that I am finished training.  The dogs are pretty lazy this time of year, spending more time than normal sleeping inside because of the cold.  Their play time in the yard is followed by long naps in their heated 'dog room'.  Maybe they are a little spoiled!  I don't have any real plans to share at this time, I can't sign up for training classes or shows because I have no schedule, so maybe later this spring or summer.  I know both the dogs and I would really enjoy competing in agility.  So take care all, I will do my best to keep this a little more current from now on. 

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year

       Wishing happy holidays to all, however you celebrate!  We have a very busy life around here, always changes around every corner.  Here in our little corner of western Washington, it is a white Christmas!  Just a little snow frosting everything, looks very pretty.  If I don't see you Happy New Year, too!

Champion Foxy

         I have a few moments to update,  finally recieved the win pictures from the great weekend of shows of Foxy --aka Dashings A Mischief Maker----from the German Pinscher Club of Americas' Nationals Weekend.  Foxy really finished her AKC Championship in style!  She had a Major and one Best of Breed win before she arrived in Pleasanton, CA, then recieved three 5 point majors there.  She was at the biggest shows of the year, with the Nationals on Saturday----there were a reported 88 German Pinschers entered in all the different categories at this show!  Her Grandsire Lukas won the Regional AND National Specialty, two BISS show wins that weekend!   He has since won his 4th Group 1 placement------he has an unequaled win record, my Foxy comes from a royal line!! 
          Here are her wins to date;
     
       Major win----- Timberland Valley Dog Show
       Best of Breed win------Nisqually Kennel Club
       Major win---GPCA Supported Entry @Skyline Dog Fanciers --this was a 5 point major, WB/BOW
       2nd Place --12-18month puppy class, GPCA National
       Major win---GPCA Supported Entry @ Del Valle Dog Club Sunday, 5 point major, WB/BOW
       Major win--NEW CHAMPION  ---- @Del Valle Dog Club Show Monday, 5 point major,
       WB/BOW

       Both her sire and dam have also won at GPCA Supported Entries--Wiley Best of Breed, Jan 2010
       Dash Winners Bitch August 2010, and Jan 2011. 
              I am very proud of my dogs!
       

Nationals Weekend------WOW!!!!!! New Champion!

              I sent Foxy, registered name Dashings A Mischief Maker, to the Nationals.  I had to stay home and work, and decided to send her with the pro's.  She had a great time, and came home with all kinds of beautiful ribbons, a blanket, a coat, a tote bag, and most importantly, a new title.............CHAMPION!!!
Foxy is now an AKC Champion, and won a total of three 5 point majors during nationals weekend.  She showed very well for Rowan, and thanks to others there I have a few candid photos, and will post the show win pics when they come in-----quite a big show for a sweet girl that is just barely a year old!  I am proud to say that she is as nice a dog as you can wish for, with beauty, brains, and personality-----what more could a breeder ask for??

Foxy Wins AGAIN!!!!

           Foxy won another major,  Winners Bitch and Best of Winners today at the Geman Pinscher Club of America Supported Entry at the Del Valle Dog Club of Livermore show in Pleasanton, California.  This is another huge win for this lovely young girl, (nearly 40 GPs entered today!), as part of the GPCA Nationals weekend.  This should complete her AKC Championship if I have counted the points correctly!  Many thanks to the handlers Luke and Rowan Baggenstos for taking her along as I had to stay home and work.  They say she is having a great time, happy to see everyone, and showing very well.  I will be posting some show wins as the pictures come in,  so check back to see them.  One more show tomorrow, then some tired dogs and handlers return north towards home again. 

Foxy Wins another Major

         The little beauty Foxy won her second major today at the German Pinscher Supported Entry in California.   She was handled by Rowan Baggenstos, and as you can see from the pictures, they look great in the ring.  Foxy is following in the footsteps of her sire Wiley, Nevars Just Call Me Wild Wiley, RN, CGC, who won Best of Breed at the Dog Fanciers of Oregon Supported Entry in Jan. 2010, and her dam Dash, Immer Treu Midnight Dash of Cinnamon,  won Winners Bitch twice-----at the Mt Rainer Working Dog Show August 2010, and again at the Dog Fanciers of Oregon show Jan. 2011.  These are great dogs to own and love, and they are fine examples of the breed.  We have high hope that Foxy finishes her AKC Championship with another win tomorrow at the 10th Annual German Pinscher National Specialty.
