(JUST KIDDING! Dogs are welcome, but please bring means to control them – leashes, crates, ex-pens, etc).

Miranda (Can Ch Lost Creek Cerasuolo) was WB under Jon Cole the first day of the Snake River Kennel Club Show.  The next day she was WB and BOW with judge Roger Hartinger.  We had a great time and made lots of new friends.  That Idaho circuit is tons of fun (although I did not go to the Potato Museum in Blackfoot this time.)  Red Lion hotels have some fantastic rates this summer and are pet friendly if you join their R&R club.  Can’t wait to hit the road again soon!

2009 Specialty Flyer

The premium lists for our July 31 and August 1st specialties and the WWHA specialty on August 2 were mailed by BaRay about a week ago. All club members were supposed to receive hard copies from the superintendent, but in case you haven’t received them, both the WWWA and WWHA premiums, and online entry, are available from the BaRay website.

Elliott (Lost Creek Vendange), owned by Helen and us, took Best of Breed from the classes at the Tacoma Kennel Club show on Sunday, June 7 under judge Chris Abraham. He then made the cut in the group! This is Elliott’s second breed from the classes this year, in limited showing! Elliott now has 8 or 9 points, and one of his majors. (we’re not that good at keeping track!)

And Elliott made us just as happy this past week when the light bulb came on and he started chasing the lure – well, the buggy whip with a plastic bag and fake fur tied to the end of it. Now, if we can just manage to find time in our busy schedules to make it to a practice, we will see if this new found enthusiasm translates to the real thing. We’re keeping our fingers crossed!
