Better late than never with the official photo, a big thank you to Breeder Judge Cindy Price Weaver for recognizing Persey (Honeybee's Persephone JH,JHU, major ptd) and rewarding her with Best in Gun Dog Sweeps at the GRCA Eastern Regional! This is my favorite dog event because it rewards both the conformation the standard requires as a hunting dog, as well as proven ability in the field. Persey also won Best in Gun Dog Sweeps earlier this summer at a Garden State GRC Supported Entry in New Jersey under Breeder Judge Ree Smyth. Special shout out to Margie Sarkin for Eros' contribution!

To finish our weekend in western PA for the GRCA Eastern Regional, on Sunday we went to the Greater Pittsburgh Labrador Retriever Club's Retriever Hunt Test where Topper (Honeybee's Turn The Team Around passed a nice challenging Junior test with flying colors to finish her JH just 2 weeks past her 1st birthday! Great grounds, good judges and it was nice seeing some old friends!

Congratulations to Karin Bystol and Newfoundland “Essi” on this Miracle Litter sired by Andi Ottey’s “Jonah”! Karin came to us after working with a different reproduction practice and several unsuccessful tries both driving to a stud for fresh semen vaginal AI’s and doing TCI’s with a second stud’s chilled semen, treatment with antibiotics and a drug to increase blood flow to the uterus. When surgical insemination with chilled semen didn’t work she was more than ready to give up, but after careful consideration we decided to go ahead with one more try. Instead of more invasive techniques and nonspecific treatment, we kept it simple. Precise ovulation timing with identification of the LH surge and two vaginal AI’s using an older but normal male resulted in a successful ultrasound! Not all the gestational sacs looked healthy, so we instituted uterine monitoring with WhelpWise and treated uterine irritability successfully. Welcome to the Apple litter: Honey, Monte, Pippin and Tango! Dr. Goodman even got a visit during their first (and very successful) show weekend!
