We are so proud of our boy and look forward to many more great things from him. There was one more day of showing to go, bu...

A couple of months ago, we almost lost Dallas. Scare from hell. Woke up in the morning and let Dallas and Maddie ( our new baby) out from the ir crates. They ran to the kitchen knowing it was breakfast time. Dallas as always wolfed down his food, and instantly went into spasms. I knew instantly this was a bad thing as he was crying and trying to hide from the pain.
I called the Vet, rushed him in, and they did all sorts of tests, but could see nothing wrong, I left him there all day, ...

We had a great weekend, as always, at the AKC shows at the beautiful Spruce Meadows facility in Calgary Alberta. If any of you have not been there you should give it a try sometime, the yards are landscaped wo precisely, all the grounds are level, no tripping over hills or holes as many sites fall prey to.
Anyhow I digress, this is
about Dallas today. I would love to introduce CanCh Cairnisles Sharp Dressed Man who finished his Canadian Ch under Judge Jack Ireland Continue reading ...

Great weekend for Dallas, his first show and Dallas won Best of winners for 2 points. This boy gave me all he had, and showed like a trooper. The second day we were blindsided by a snowstorm and the competition could not make it to Red Deer, so no points that day. So we waited for the snow to stop and headed home.
After white knuckling it all the way home, we finally made it safely and unpacked and relaxed for a bit.
I swear I did not leave Dallas unattended for too long and by the time I ...

Ok Dott left me with a very naughty boy. He has figured out chairs, and that
they can be used for more then just laying on and as tools for his nefarious
deeds. No longer satisfied with jumping on them he now pushes them around to do
his bidding...
Pushes chair to counter jumps on counter. (this we did not
see, but we found foot prints on the counter, so it is factual, as to him having
any conversations with said chair, this is fiction, lol.) Pushing chair to

Got the phone call yesterday, Pippen had won Winners Bitch and best Opposite sex in Portland, Oregon, for 2 points and the Judge Peggy Beisel McCalwaine wanted to use her in the judges study today, so I gave the handler permission to use her. I am very proud they thought her worthy to use in their study group.
As well on the home front. Tia, Pippen's Pup, won Best of Breed in the shows here in Calgary as well as best puppy in Group. She needs one more point for her Canadian championship.... Continue reading ...

Well Fall is here and so is the changing of seasons. This year so far
has been great for Pippen, despite earlier disapointments, lessons were
learned and things have changed. We went to a BC dog show earlier in
September but had no luck, but that was ok It will take Pippen a wee bit
to wrap her mind around showing again. meanwhile we went to the island
afterwards and had a wonderful time with Pippen. She was on the
beaches and had fun chasing seagulls, and just sniffing everywhere an... Continue reading ...

This weekend I went to Grande Prairie for the dog show.I was letting a Handler take her in to see what he could do with her as opposed to my handling. He handled her well, but we did not win. This is ok, it is part of the game. Later on he asked if he could remove some of her dead coat, I said yes (and she did have some dead hair in her, actually quite a lot, we were in transition, and I was trying to keep coat on her until her new coat was a proper length) and watched how he was going to...

Well Pippen strikes again, this little girl doesn't quit! 3 Group placings in 3 shows, and winning Best Terrier in a Terrier Specialty. Pippen showed her little heart out for me, and would not stop even at 7:45 pm, when we were doing the Group Judging for the specialty. You would have thought that little girl was just starting, while I was the exausted one, gimping around in pain, lol.
I am very very proud of my girl, and I will keep on trying to grab that Brass Ring! Continue reading ...

Well as you can tell I haven't been on here much. Dott had her babies 4 days early, and she had 3 of them. 2 were very healthy and robust unfortunately the little girl was not and did not make it 24 hours. That is how it goes in dogs, Breeding is not for the faint of heart.
So we have 2 very sweet and healthy babies whose eyes are now open, and they are starting to explore their world and interact with each other now. It is very cute to see, and I will video some of it when they start to wal... Continue reading ...

Finished blocking all other entrances today. Blocked one, she made another, she is determined. She dug a small hole and squeezed herself through it, and managed with no problem. So today we got out the cement blocks and 2x6 boards and closed off any possible place she could go. We then set up the ex-pen outside so she could not go to the side of the garage and find a new place.. Hopefully now this is done with. She is not a happy puppy about it either.

9 Days left to go till Dott has her babies. I can see many differences in her now, her babies are moving around in her, I still can't figure out how many.
She can't jump on the bed anymore even though she is part goat, she has gotten to large for that.
She is out daily getting her "new home" ready for moving day, we are sealing it off tomorrow. Her room is now ready for her to take up residence, and soon she will be very comfortable in it and resting easy in it.
So here is hoping all will ... Continue reading ...

Seems we are going to be having babies at the end of October. I was planning on Breeding Pippen, but Dott had other plans, and decided she wanted to have Babies instead. I have to say it is all my fault but not intentional. Due to the fact that I had just come back from vacation I was not aware of how far she was along in her season. What I considered a few days turns out to have been much further along, and I let her and Davy out in the back yard together, and they did the hokey pokey, and... Continue reading ...
