Xoai is now ten months old and I'm really happy with what I've got here.
He's outgoing, full of charisma, a tad naughty and always up for fun.
We spent the long weekend at the Renaissance Dog Association Show in Chilliwack among great company.
This was his biggest show experience to date and he crushed it, 4 days in the ring and 2 specialties. We didn't win any notable prizes, but we won so much more! Great friends, new admirers, and incredible feedback from competitors and judges alike.
Huge thank you to our Judge, Mrs Marianne C Kinkowski for the Western Gazehound Specialty for the kind words and encouragement.

Looking forward to all the adventures and a rich future for this cheeky young lad.

Cruuuuuz got mail!
Definitely was not expecting this, because we barely trialled last year... However what a pleasant surprise!
Looking forward to getting in the ring a bit more consistently with him!

Wesley would have been 18 today!
The almost 16 years we had was amazing, but just not long enough.
I'm grateful daily for the foundation he created for me, and all I have that's directly from what he gave.
The best gateway dog!
Happy Birthday ol Friend 🌈🌈🌈

Thrilled!
Xoai has had a wonderful weekend at EKKOC in the big kid rings as a puppy! He turned 7 months old on Wednesday and we've been celebrating in style.
Thank you Judge Christine Erickson for finding the young lad in a stacked line up of puppies!
This, on the heels of official FULL CKC breed recognition just a week ago 🎉🎉🎉
Definitely excited for more fun things and many adventures.

Spent the weekend celebrating the life of Jim Harvey in utmost fashion with the best people.
Thank You to my mentors and wonderful friends - Tamara and Jackie Harvey (Jim's daughter and wife) for all the fun, knowledge, dogs and opportunities you've filtered my way over the last 7 years.
Shout out to my folks for all the support of my crazy, always! And Patti for all the help with the event set up!
Paul Jones kept everyone well fed and hydrated 😜 all weekend.
Eagle Creek Photography literally saved the event braving the weather to capture some of the best moments.
It takes a village, always. Don't ever forget it.
I think Jim would have been proud of the weekend and had some fun too. 💓💓💓
