On the farm …….

Hello all!
I am having a busy few days at home and enjoying them. I have been stocking up on the dog food and cleaning supplies, doing laundry ( it’s amazing how much laundry the dogs create too! ) and working and relaxing with the dogs. In between all that I have been able to go [...]

Home sweet home!

Hello all!
We are home safe and sound! It was an easy but long drive home. Spot and Peyton didn;t do anything special on the last day. Spot did win her class but that was all.
We stopped and picked up Sunni on our way home. She was on a visit to her parents home while we [...]

Great Falls, last day of this circuit

Hello all,
Today Peyton was Select Dog. Spot was Reserve Winner to the major. Tomorrow regrettably the major will break in Cresteds since the WB from today finished and will be moved up. Peyton and Spot were the only two showing today and again tomorrow. I am sad to say that Angel didn’t get entered in [...]

Billings to Great Falls, MT

Hello Friends!
I am now in Great Falls, MT. It was about a 230 mile drive over from Billings, scenic and easy driving. Except the construction and detours. Still in all, not a bad trip over. I checked into my hotel first in the attempt to get a ground floor room and that worked, I am [...]

Wednesday in Billings

Hello Friends,
It was another day at the dog shows for sure. Getting tired of being second with Spot. The judge said she was really nice but still needed to grow up and fill out. I guess since she is a puppy that would be a given but she is really pretty nice right now so [...]

Day one, Billings

Hi friends!
We will start right off with Angel, she won BEST OF BREED, and yes there was competition, even another special! Yeah Angel!
Spot was second and the puppy who won the class even went Breed. I hope that puppy is finished soon, she is obviously hard to beat.
Peyton was SELECT DOG today, he sure should [...]

Blackfoot on Sunday

Hi all,
We did about the same today, Spot was second in puppy, Peyton didn’t win breed and Angel was Opposite, so nothing exciting.
We have moved to Billings and arrived shortly after a tornado hit the Metra Plex where the dog show is supposed to be. I spoke to the superintendent and the show committee is [...]

Saturday in Blackfoot

Hello friends,
Today was as nice as yesterday weather wise. Spot went second in her puppy class today, still looking good, the judge just liked the bigger puppy who has a lot more hair. That is one of the challenges in Cresteds, the difference between true hairless, hairy hairless and harry monsters and then the puffs. [...]

Friday in Blackfoot

Hi friends,
We were closer…. Spot, the Chinese Crested was Reserve Winners Bitch on Friday and it was a major that she went reserve to and she is still in the puppy class. I still would have preferred to have won of course. She was brought up to be compared to the Bred By Exhibitor bitch [...]

Blackfoot, ID 1st day

Hi friends,
Well, the trip here was beautiful. The weather was good, the truck ran well and the scenerywas beautiful. The rivers were high and the lakes as well. I was impressed with a young pair of Elk who were crossing the road on 287 just over the CO/WY state line. They were huge and he [...]
