September 2007
Jolene whelped her puppies on August 31, and Roxie whelped on September 5. Jolene had 3 puppies, Roxie had one. All are doing well.
Nelly is beginning to come into her own. We showed her in Chattanooga, and she went Reserve Winners Bitch to a major one day. She is still growing up, but she is really maturing nicely. Stay tuned for more on her show career!
Jack finished his RA title and we are very glad that they do not print scores on the title certificates! He has some work to do before we return to the Rally ring. He is still going to compete in Obedience and Agility, but has a great deal of work to be done in those areas as well.
Oscar finished his RE title, which marked the end of his Rally career. He will continue to compete in Earthdog, hoping to finish his SE title. He will also continue to compete in Field Trials, in hopes of earning points and possibly earning his FC title.
Fiona is beginning to show her potential in the conformation ring. She went Reserve Winners Bitch to a 4-point major in Atlanta. The next weekend out, she won the Bred-by Exhibitor class over 3 other entries. She really loves to show, and it is a real joy to take her in the ring. Watch for more stories of her success in the show ring.

July 2007
Reuben finished his AKC championship in style, taking a 3 point major in Owensboro to finish. He was moved up to the Specials class for the remainder of the weekend, but no more wins. He is now available to stand at stud to approved bitches.
June 2007
We have moved to a new location, which has been extremely beneficial for the dogs. We now have 3 acres, and are working on kennel plans. Currently, the dogs have the biggest yard/play area they have ever had!
They have a small swimming pool to play in, which several of them hang out in when it gets hot outside.
