Ruby x Nicky’s Standards are SO CUTE. I’m in love with how similar they all look besides slight changes in their apricot creamy shades.
So far Ruby has independently fed all ten, she’s like super mom over here!

Crate training is an effective tool, but I’ll be very clear when I say it should not be punishment to the puppy or dog.
It is difficult to start, sure. It’ll take some work!
But every dog should understand if trained effectively the crate is not a punishment.
It is their room, napping spot, and safe place.
One day every dog will have to be crated, whether that’s at the groomers, the vet waiting for surgery, traveling, or boarding. It’s the owners job to establish that training prior to needing it outside of the home.

Helpful graphic explaining “show win” terms!

Show dogs are a process of elimination. This cheat sheet shows how the elimination works.

I had a wonderful time at the Blackfoot Idaho show.
I learned so much! Plus got a ton of time in the ring between, two classes, group and OH groups, even the best in show ring!
Cardi and Whimsy both did so well. Cardi seriously rocked it!
Hanging out with Teal and Brianna Glass was definitely the highlight. It makes long show days 10x fun when you have dog friends to talk to!!
Thank you everyone for your support and kind messages.
I’m already looking forward to this show next year!

Thank you so much Teal and Briana for filming me in the ring so I can watch them back and make sappy reels. The last video is most definitely my favorite video of us, look how proud Cardi is. She did it 🥇🙌🏻
