Show results

Sorry I have not been on in a while, but getting ready for my 5 day show weekend which started Thursday. Winnie the PS took Winners Bitch for a 5 pt major. She only needed 2 pts so that finished her and she is now an AKC Champion.

Today which is Sat. Was the PYren Shep. National Speciality show. Winnie was moved up to the Champion class and competed for Best of Breed. He (the judge ) was from France and spoke no English so we showed under an interpreter. He has been in PS's for over 50 years so he knew his stuff. There were 55 entered today and Winnie made it in the top 12 cut.

That is Unbelievable for a 13 month old puppy. She was the youngest Champion to compete. Her breeder was there from Canada and Just LOVES HER she said she needs to mature which is true. She brought me a true French Sheep bell from her trip to France. Boy the sheep are going to love me for this one. CLING CLING CLING all day and night.

Sable my CC on the other hand is still in her show rut. 3rd out of 6 in the Bred By class. Such a beautiful bitch but can't get a break. Sorry if I offend anyone, that's nothing new but the competition was well yet to be desired. Where is the consistency, the standard, it sucks to loose to dogs with no merit. Judges need to step back and re read the AKC standard. That's my grip for now.

Mode of Transportation

I am still with out my Truck, let's see it has been 8 days. But you know not really having to leave is a plus. Yesterday I had a few things to do, but just shanghaied my mom and we spent the day eating McDonald's, weeding at the winery, relaxing for an hour, taking a puppy to the vets, oh and eating our fill on Dunkin donuts. AAHHHH the joys of no transportation.

Hopefully it will be done today. It seems the service department has come down with a nasty bug. Hope they get the "Cooties" out of my truck before I get in it. I have the BIG PS nationals next weekend and 5 days of showing and driving is no fun when you are sick.

Bow wow out!!!

When it rains, it pours.

Actually, that is so true even literally. Raining pretty hard today and the rest of the week. We really do not need more water. My hay fields are getting tall, and if they go to seed the hay is to stalkie for the sheep. But more rain makes it grow faster which in turn makes it seed sooner.

Dogs are in today, not happy about the rain. Henni my bw puff can clear any fence so when they are in and out she has to be crated otherwise she will be all over the countryside. So she got a nice snack and will spend her day curled up watching TV. I think Regis and Kelly is on for them.

Waiting to hear on my truck. You know I should break down and get a new vehicle and it would solve everything. But who wants that huge payment :( If I commit to that payment it really limits my extra curricular activities. So what is the point of a new truck if you have no money to drive it or no money to spend when you get there.

Welcome Allison, want to hear the POOP?

Hey, It was nice to see my long lost CC friend, Allison, is a follower. (She just follows so she can have her daily laugh.)

I know she is sitting back, saying "Glad that's not me"

Well, Allison, my truck is broke so where are my Lottery winnings. You know we had a promise.

Great, you get to keep up on the latest POOP, got plenty of it.

Puppy leaving...on a jet plane

Today, I drop off "Romper" a powder puff female puppy to here new owners. They are flying into Cleveland to pick her up. I told them I would meet them at the coffee stand. It was funny because they asked "Which Coffee stand" and I laughed "The only one they have, Cleveland airport is not that big"

After I drop her off I am heading over to the winery. If you have not already figured out I spend a few hours a week at a local winery. I wanted something where I could actually get away from the farm and socialize with other humans. My job description is actually "Jane, of all trades..... I am usually found outside tending to the grounds.

Sometimes it can be a bit stressful, since the owner is an out of state owner, but it keeps me out of trouble. Not like I am getting rich off of it, but sometimes it's not always about the $.

Ready for the PS Nationals

I just got my entries in for the big Memorial day shows in New Castle, PA. It is the PS national Speciality and Winnie only needs 1 pt to finish. We are entered this coming weekend in Tallmadge, OH but there is no dogs or bitches in the classes, only 3 dog specials. We would need to take the breed to finish. She has done it before so there is hope.

I am also hoping for majors on Sat and Sun for Sable. Poor Crested.... I have entered her in over 13 shows and have had to be absent due to no majors. Where is everyone????

Now I hope for big entries in New Castle so I can knock it out of the park with these two girls.

Here we come Eukanuba!!!

Puppy leaving..or maybe not

I was so excited that one of my black puff males was going to his new home today. He is such a sweet wonderful little guy. He is a bit shy and needed a lap to snuggle on. But last night the new owner had to cancel. She felt a new puppy was not the right choice at this time. Poor "Bubba J" he was so looking forward to his new mommy.

So he is still looking for that perfect lap to sit on. Until then, he gets to hang with me and enjoy some of the nice weather.

This DOG-GONE rain.

Again, I should just copy and paste from past post. Today....Rain and high of 50. Dogs are not happy. They need some sunshine. I need some sunshine.

More mud puddles today. To bad I can't sell mud. I would be a millionaire. That and poop. Got lots of poop on the farm.

Still planning on making an appearance at the Bucyrus shows with Winnie. Not expecting a lot but we need some face time.

Today getting dog food, I think. Having my dogs on a high end diet is very expensive. So I make the hour drive to the Distributor in order to save about 50% per bag. I like to stock up so I don't have to make the trip but once a month. I also pick up for several other people so everyone wins.

Bow Wow out!!

Come on nice weather

Again another raining day. My dogs are in laying on their beds wondering when the rain will let up. They LOVE laying out on the doggie hammocks and soaking up the rays. Not going to happen today.

TV is on for them, but just the news. They like the sounds of the TV it makes them feel like I am in the room with them. I have less barking and howling when they can watch their shows.

I would rather have them outside running and playing but today I think will be a day of relaxing.

Death 2 the devil equals low gas prices

Since the announcement of the death of Bin Laden, the price of oil per barrel dropped nearly 2 dollars in 3 hours. It is amazing our the Devil has a hand in everything we do. It is like once evil is removed the clouds clear and the sun appears.

For doggie things today, the price of gas may be a blessing for me. I have doing a 5 day show 130 miles away and driving back and forth each day. At the price of gas now, I need to set back over 400 dollars just for gas and tolls. Maybe this news will grant me a little bit of a break :)

Its a Dog day

Not much going on with the Cresteds or the PS or even the poodles. i worked Winnie the PS out in the yard today. Since she has been with Mary for the past several shows, I needed to get the feel of her again for the shows coming up.

She did really well. She is such a goof ball though. We walked down the drive at a nice pace to get the paper and she kept her tail where it needed to be.

She is going for practice. Unless she takes a GRP1 then she is a CH.

Bow wow out!!
