Carrig Standard Wire Dachshunds

06/01/2026

Today in wires Pink went Best of Winners for 2 points!!!

Sitting on the dreaded 9 points. Only 1 more to go but where oh where to find competiton?

So we are just going to relax and grow puppies in the belly. She can show again once her puppies are ready to show. Unless there suddenly are standard wires coming to a show near us.

This is the link to order doterra oils from. Kelly is awesome and was my upline when I had a wholesale account. She is a great resource.

I use Adaptiv and/or Balance for general performance issues. Like when your is so excited it can't even think. There is the bottle or a roller. The roller is cut with a carrier oil so won't be quite a potent.

To use break the seal on the bottle and put the lid back on have the bottles a short distance from each other and observe which one the dog seems most interested in. I have had some dogs choose both. Then put one drop on your palm. Rub hands together and then rub dog from nose overhead down to ends of the ears.

I usually put it on 10 - 20 minutes before we are going to do anything different. After using for about 3 sessions you can try a session without and see how things go. You should see a bit of an improvement in the way your dog processes things.

Today at the specialty Pink went winners female for one point. Riffraff went Best of Winners for 2 points - that is his CKC major. Moth didn't qualify today but I think it was more my fault than hers.

We got lots of cool stuff.

It was a good day.

We got a breeding between Pink and Reggie today!!!

So puppies in about 63 days.

I got to see Furgie today. She is still stubbornly not coming into season. So we wait....

Well first day of the show is done. For us anyway, there is still some more stuff happening out there but it is raining so we are in the rv with the rain allergic weens.

So today Pink went Best of Winner for 2 points. So that puts her at 6 points. She needs 10 for a championship. We have 5 more shows this weekend so hopefully she can pickup some more.

Moth tried out Rally Obedience today. We have not trained for this and haven't done any obedience classes since January. I was optimistic thinking I would do a crash course but got the flu.

So Moth did pretty good. We got a 74 out of 100. Qualifying score is 70. So she qualified and got a nice blue rosette. She was a crowd favourite because she wagged her tail the whole time. Words like 'adorable', 'cute', 'how can you tell she is down' were all said after we left the ring.

Pink is in heat!!!

Probably about 4 or 5 days now. We are headed to Edmonton this next weekend for a dog show and she will get to hang out with Reggie. Maybe she will show as well. I have had the flu for about a week now. Feeling weak and get dizzy easily so not sure how useful I will be.

I am headed to Edmonton the last weekend on May for the dog shows. Pink will be showing in conformation and Moth will be trying out Rally.

Arie Brentnall has entered Riffraff who is Moth's brother from a different litter. I am excited to see him.

Anyone in Edmonton area want to come visit me I will be parked on site in my RV. Happy to help with any training, grooming or just gabbing about weiners
