Garrett & Gabe had a great weekend with Juniors too!

Saturday at the all breed - both placed 2nd in their classes of 4 juniors. Garrett & Duke went RBJH at the Toledo specialty

Sunday at the all breed - Gabe placed 1st in his class and Garrett placed 4th. Garrett and Duke earned RBJH at the Toledo specialty as well as Select & BOH in the All breed show that morning. They were unable to make it to the OH group ring due to Juniors conflict with the specialty.

Congrats to all the winners and the show staff for putting on a wonderful show! We will be back!!

Jack & Peachely! They are both doing great things in their homes! 🐾❤️🐾

Jack was previously orange boy. He went to live with Kate and she loves doing obedience, rally, and agility with him. He got swimming lessons this summer to condition him for next level of agility.

Peachely was previously green boy. He & Kayla just passed their CGC together!! Peachely also enjoys swimming and hanging out with her daughter.

I love getting updates from my puppy homes! 💕 Jewel has been with Jan for 2 years now. Jan reached out to me looking for an adult just as I found out that Jewel had lupus. I told her about this sweet 2 year old I had and she immediately asked me a million questions and we decided it was fate because she shares the same diagnosis. Fast forward & they are now inseparable! ❤️ Happy birthday sweet girl! You are truly a jewel in the rough & just priceless!

Rioux is so sweet! Would make a great companion for any family!

Momma Rioux is recovering from her spay last week! She has done an excellent job of healing and not bothering her incision, so far no cone of shame has been needed! She is really doing well with her downtime ❤️

Rioux gave us 3 litters over the years, including our first home bred champion, Tod, who is now a therapy dog! She has been a lot of fun and I’ve learned so much from this girl as we journeyed into conformation together.

Rioux’s show days are over but she has many years left and is entering those wonderful, slower years ready to be a companion dog! Although squirrel chasing will always be a temptation for this girl!

Putting to practice some of the things we talked about this past weekend at CCA in the Summer. Get our dogs out in public and let people see what great dogs they are!
Tonight Champ went to Menards with my husband & I after our CGC class. He got to practice being a gentleman and waiting patiently! Such a good boy - he got lots of treats from me & strangers who stopped to pet him! ❤️

Beautiful Tri Girl still looking for her forever home - could it be yours?? 😉

Martha is the last of this gorgeous group who is still waiting for her forever! I think she could potentially make a great therapy dog, like her momma, could easily go into performance or simply be your new best friend! She doesn’t know a stranger and she isn’t afraid of anything but also loves to cuddle! She’s a true rough collie, through and through ❤️❤️
