A little puppy breath

Almost all of them - Group picture 3.5 weeks old

BTW: This is our 'histology' litter. Dayl and I co-own the litter and both work as Histology Technicians. All of the names are from dyes or stains that we use in our job. Yes, we know they are 'different'...

And back to the show ring we go...

It was a fun day. ;)

Fluff Test/More

Good news: Hunter is DNA Fluff Coat Length N/N!

I have been traveling quite a bit and have not had time to update the blog about anything. So, this is the quick version: Sally puppies are doing very well. I saw them at 3 days old and I am totally smitten with a couple of them. Ok, maybe its more like all of them! Dayl has updated the website www.aurigan.com . And, Terry of Tailbrite Cardigans just had a litter of 6 puppies. 2 girls and 4 boys, all brindle out of Kolby and Halle. Her website is www.tailbrite.com . Feels like spring with all the babies popping up!

Is anyone going to the Yakima, WA shows the end of May? I can only go Saturday, but want to know if anyone else is going...

Sally x Deacon Babies!

Sally has 7 beautiful new babies!

One black girl, three black boys, two blue girls and one blue boy
More pictures to come!

A Smattering Of News

LE is back! After a long stay with Claymore/Rememberance I am very happy to say that LE has come home. Tom showed her at Nationals in the American bred class, and she won the class! Below is a picture of her at Nationals by the beautiful new tulips.

Hunter was pulled in the Megan and Sweepstakes, but no ribbons this trip. It was an honor just to be pulled with some of those marvelous dogs! He had a great time. Hunter needed his picture taken too!This picture of Sally was taken by Dayl yesterday. I will update when I have a puppy count (she is in whelp as I type this)! She was bred to Ch. Shadowalk Deacon. (The brindle in the picture is Beatrys, Hunter's mom)

And this is Brecca - Rememberance Brecca by Ch. Cardiridge Red Hot Lover and out of Ch. Windshyre Ceilidh Claymore. We have admired her since she was a puppy and feel fortunate to have her in the Northwest. She will be living at Pam's house.

C U There!

I hope everyone has a safe and wonderful Nationals! Hunter and Ellyn should arrive today with Don, Susan and Rita. Be there tomorrow!

Summer???

Ok, I know I live in 'the desert' but come on... 80 degrees today?! We were 30s and 40s last week, and now 70s? Dont get me wrong, I am loving it! - but what happened to spring? I guess we are just moving right on thru.

In other news, my dogs are starting to shed, Ellyn is having her first heat cycle and the biggest show of the year starts next week... what luck and awesome timing we have (massive sarcasm). I feel a little guilty sending them with Susan this weekend. Ellyn is going to have Hunter in groaning/moaning/whimpering/whining fits the whole drive. I can just picture it.
But, I am confident that she and Don can handle it. ;)

Topeka here we come! (All hairless and hormonal; that is, the dogs- not me!) Be there Monday!
If I have access to a computer, I will try to post results. Hopefully the club will get them up too.

And a Happy Happy Belated 1oth Birthday to Miss Auri! Gosh, has it been ten years???
