Shown here winning Group First at the Hanover Kennel Club a couple weeks ago. Handled by Danielle Pesko. Nice job girls!!

Wild animals in my back yard. LOL They can get pretty rough. A couple of these pictures were taken from my sunroom through the screen — and they are of Julia’s dogs when they were here last. The group of white dogs are also boarders rifling through the concrete stones looking for the lizards. And PJ totally pooped out…

This is her second Specialty Best In Show!!!!!!

So, Merry and Mondo have bred twice and I might see if they are still interested this evening but really wouldn’t have to. Mondo still thinks she is cute — a least he is still standing on his hind legs straight up with nose straight up in the air sniffing as she sits at the top of the stairs. What a tease… and just now I noticed that PJ is in heat. She may have been doing something before today because the boys were interested in her but just now know for sure. So, hopefully I will do an almost repeat of last December. Their litters were born two days apart then but this time there should be a bigger difference. If today is her first day, PJ won’t breed for about 10-13 days. So, that would put the litters about that far apart. Of course, one could be early and the other late, etc, buat there abouts…

Anyone who has an upcoming appointment to drop off/pick up a dog, please re email me the dates and time. I had a big problem with my iphone and ipad synchronizing the data about three weeks ago and it took Apple three days to sort out/fix. In the process, seems I lost some data. Had one dog arrive today which was no longer on my calendar and just got an email confirming one coming tomorrow which I have but not the pick up day. sigh… this makes stuff difficult… possibility of me not being here when someone arrives….

Here she is posing for her show picture today when she won her second Group One for the circuit. This was a big circuit for three days – over today because tomorrow at the show site is the Terrier National Specialty. All the top terriers were there so they did the BIS winning. But, there were all the top poodles there too and Pearl took Best of Variety three of the four days and took Group One two the three. These are pretty prestigious shows as the Hatboro Kennel Club is the largest in the country and there is always a big entry and the last day, tomorrow is the Terrior National. In fact, prior to going, my handler told me not to expect as much as she’s been doing but, hey, she fooled him – LOL. And when he texted me the results today, I apparently didn’t react accordingly. So, he called me to make sure I understood the magnitude of it all. I actually had not but I know Group One’s are always a good thing regardless. And these wins should help keep her in that top five ranking for getting a Westminster Invitation — I hope…

Here she is in the Best In Show lineup. Nothing there but prior she won Best of Variety out of 6 Specials including two who are the top standard poodles. Then she went into the Non Sporting Group and placed first — all ata large, prestigious show. Yay Pearl…. Going strong…
