Nov 4 - 6, 2011
This past weekend we attended the shows in Red Deer, AB. Our Sheltie CH Nova picked up 2 Best of Opposites (Sandy Alexander and Lydia Coleman Hutchinson) but we had to pull him the 3rd day due to a time conflict with our Havanese.
CH Benson did us very very proud picking up another Group 1st (Tom Alexander) and a Group 2nd (Lydia Coleman Hutchinson)! He also made the Group cut on the 3rd day. Thanks again to Doreen Snowden who has been such a tremendous help with all the grooming tips, his coat has never looked nor felt in better condition - not bad for a boy who is turning 7 years young tomorrow!
And sadly on Saturday we lost our 16 year old Sheltie boy Taz to the Rainbow Bridge. You will be forever in our hearts Tazzy Man - love and miss you so much! XOXO
October 27 - 30, 2011
Off to the Lower Mainland Dog Fanciers we went - and came home very proud of Nova who picked up a Best of Opposite, 3 Best Puppy in Breeds and 1 Best Puppy in Group! And ofcourse we had a conflict with Benson so Doreen (Lorette's mom) showed him for us and they picked up a Best of Opposite at the Havanese Booster - nicely done!

But the star who stole the show from the big boys was our home bred baby boy, Mr. Nova! Making his debut at 6 months 11 days old Mr Nova came home with 9 points, two Best Puppy in Groups and one BEST PUPPY IN SHOW!!! To say we are proud does not even begin to explain our emotions! And the best part of the entire event was that all 3 people who helped to keep this boy alive during his very traumatic entrance into this world (Cameron, Joan and Whitney) were there to witness his amazing debut! Thank you to Ms. Mike MacBeth who wrote "The first of many yet to come!" on the back of his BPIS ribbon for this very special win! We are anticipating great things for this boy!

April 4 - 5, 2009
We decided to go to a show as it's been a while since we've seen our friends - one of the downfalls of living so far north! So off we went to Red Deer for the weekend...
We took 2 client dogs with us: Ninja, a black male Pomeranian owned by Ms Melody McMurphy picked up 2 points (Ms Betty Stepkovitch) and Venus, a female Miniture Long Haired Dachshund owned by Lynda Brown picked up 1 point from the Junior Puppy Class winning Best of Opposite over a Specials bitch (Mrs Cec Ringstrom).
We also need to say a HUGE thank you to Mrs Jenn de Boer of Zesta Kennels. Jenn showed Ruckus for us (we had a prior engagement in Edmonton) on Saturday and she did us very proud! Her and Ruckus won the breed and a Group 2nd under Mr Jack Ireland! Lorette showed Ruckus on Sunday and won Best of Opposite under Everitt Mincey. Our 6 1/2 year proved he still has what it takes to play with the young dogs - he never stopped and loved the ring as much as ever - who knows what the future has in store for him?

August 29, 2008
Today we decided to let 3 of our dogs go to new forever homes... Karma (Sheltie girl) will be living with Monica Phelan in Edmonton, AB however is still owned by Lorette.
Bella (Havanese girl) was purchased by Gail and Frank Dame in Nanimo, BC but remains on co-ownership with Emily Dorma.
Breaker (Sheltie boy) will be staying in Grande Prairie with his new family, Cameron and Kailyn Ball however is still owned by Lorette.
We are sad to see our fur kids leave but know that they are in great hands and will be getting the individual one on one time they so deeply deserve. My thanks to all who showed interest in these dogs, making the decision to let them go was not an easy one.
June 27 - 29, 2008
We stayed home this weekend and played 3 shows with Ruckus who attained 3 more Best of Breed wins and 3 more Group placements. Group 1st (Ms Judy Shurb), Group 2nd (Mr Tom Alexander) and Group 3rd (Ms Betty McHugh).

Thanks to all who helped and offered support after Lorette took a tumble with Ruckus on the slippery floor in the Group ring... she is a little bruised and battered but will be up and at it in no time at all! You sure learn how many friends you have when a spill happens! Thanks to all those who cared enough to offer assistance!
May 17 - 19, 2008
We attended the FSJ&DKC shows in BC this past weekend and came home with more than we could have hoped for! Miss Bella started her show career with a bang winning her first 5 points by going Group 1st and Best Puppy in Group under Ms Ann Hennigan - thank you for this lovely win!
Ruckus came back out to play after a 6 month rest period and came home with two Group 2nds (Mr Walter Pinsker & Ms Ann Hennigan), two Group 1sts (Ms Barbara Watt & Mr Richard Paquette) as well as his 13th BEST IN SHOW - thank you Ms Barbara Watt for all your wonderful comments on our boy!
