Fun weekend at the Peninsula Dog Fanciers Club show in Bremerton!

Two pups from our Celeste x Bravo got to show for their very first time. Thanks to Trisch & Kalani for doing such a fantastic job whelping and rearing this litter!

Lena had a fabulous day on Saturday - Winner Bitch, BOW, BOBOH and….Best of Breed! There was stiff competition all weekend - and some really nice class bi***es entered (for a Major) as well very nice Specials, so it was a great start! Sunday she went reserve - as I said there were some very nice dogs there.

Stitch - her brother - was the only Class Male entry and showed well. Naturally Sunday he showed better - and took Best of Winners getting his first points and a Major!

Kana worked on more Grand Championship points with a Select on Saturday and BOS on Sunday.

Odie (Bouvier pup) took Reserve both days. He behaved, did not trip me and is getting better at the show stuff. Thank you to Samiah for her help with grooming.

To answer the question - how do your Bouviers do with your Rat Terriers?

Puppy pile in front of the fire! A rest well earned after running around like the crazy terriers they are, chasing the Bouviers and just having fun.

Not a young pup - but Teddy is looking for his perfect match.

This dog has a stellar temperament. No aggression, no fear, but not outgoing.

He is a very easy very calm dog. He is a great example of “standoffish with strangers”. He is not afraid, but is also not really interested in engaging. Great for walking, hiking, going to stores. *BUT* if you expect him to be happy to see people - that is not him.
If you want him to just stand there and perhaps see if they are worthy of attention when they approach and say they love him….thats good. He does not bark, show aggression or even worry about strangers. They aren’t important. You can have as long as you need to converse with the store help or people talking to you. That’s fine. But if you want him to be looking at those strangers, trying to engage them. Well no. He’s not that dog.

He has had some issues with vehicle travel. He has some motion sickness which has lessened as he matures. Initially there was nausea, but that changed to a lot of drooling.

We had only had him in crates. He was placed, they tried letting him ride on the backseat, and the drooling did not stop. This was one reason he was returned and not a good match.

We decided to try different locations in the vehicle and other comfort reinforcements. We found he is great with a soft blanket on the floor of the vehicle. No motion sickness or anxiety.

He is currently with a family member who is fostering him at my request, so we can further evaluate him. With the blanket he has completed multiple trips on her vehicle, including the trip home which had several stops, and drive time of an hour or more. He has also accompanied them (people and family dog) on multiple hikes with many encounters with others. And behaved exactly as I expected.

This dog is really a special boy who needs the perfect home.

We now return you to Puppy Spam. We have both litters together for a dance party and fun with the speaker. 😆

A short break from puppy spam…to one of the important things about breeding! That is doing all we can to select healthy examples of the breed with good breed type!

I am proud to show the progress of our boy Shades ( K2'S SUNGLASSES AT NIGHT OF D'HART)in this light. He achieved his Grand Champion status before he was two. We now have all the OFA tests done EXCEPT the DNA profile and health tests. Which are, I think, one of the most important things. However, if you look at his combined health testing pedigree on line I’d say we should be looking good. Does not mean I’ll not be doing it - look for it next month
