Closing this Wednesday, May 16th are the following shows. both show sites are outdoors. While i like the judging panel better at the Charlottesville, VA shows, i think the better chance for majors in many breeds will be the Wrightstown, PA shows. So will need all of you to decide or possibly Adam and I will split up and one go to one site and the other go to the other shows.
If we are making the entries for you, we will need to know by Monday a.m. as we will be leaving for a one week vacation in North Carolina on Monday and may have limited internet access. We will be making entries before we leave. However, if you are making your own entries, you will have until 12 noon on Wednesday to make your entries.
Please let us hear from you as to which shows you are interested in entering.
Wishing all the wonderful ladies out there a Very Happy Mother’s Day!

Horray for March coming in like a Lamb – hopefully this will continue straight thru Spring, i’m loving not having to drive thru snow and ice!

Closing next Wednesday, February 29th are the York, PA shows, followed by the Tar Heel circuit in Raleigh, NC, which closes the following Wednesday. Both of these cluster of shows draw very good entries with majors in many breeds including several specialties. Please let us know if you will be entering either or both of these clusters. If you would like us to make the entries for you, please let us know before 12 noon on Tuesday as the first cluster of shows are superintended by Rau Dog Shows. In order to make our entries online thru infodog, they must be received before noon on Tuesday – one day early.
Also attached, you will find a projected show schedule which runs thru the end of April. Please save it or print it out so that you may refer to when planning your next set of shows. Additional shows will be added to this list each month so that everyone can plan ahead.
Sadly, our Akita Smooch required a C-section for only one puppy which we lost. So it doesn’t look like we will have any puppies to travel with us late spring. The dogs always seem to enjoy having puppies to play with while on the road. We are hoping to repeat the breeding sometime late spring/early summer.
Several of you have litters due and we wish you all the very best of luck with them and expect pictures from you as they are growing.
Enjoy our spring like weather – I know we certainly are!

Hi everyone, closing this coming Wednesday, February 1st are both the all breed shows at Howard County held by Maryland K.C. which will have a Saturday (after Best in Show) A Match sponsored by Kennel Club of Anne Arundel and the PVBMD Berner specialties in Frederick, MD. Obviously, Adam and I will be going to separate locations in order to cover these events. Please know that both events will be covered.
We will be doing our entries on Monday, so if you wish us to make entries for you, please let us know by Monday. On Tuesday we will be leaving for the 5 Wildwood, NJ shows and will have no time to do entries that day.
If you make your own entries – don’t forget to send us email confirmation.
Attached is the beginning of our show schedule going thru the middle of April. Since the AKC stopped publishing the Gazette, it is a lot harder to do up the schedule as i have to go online, write it down then go into the show schedule and type it up. Was much easier when i could just copy from the Gazette. I’ll work on the rest of the schedule after the Garden.

Closing this Wednesday are the five shows in Wildwood, NJ. these shows traditionally have majors in many breeds and are at a wonderful show site right on the beach. Dogs are allowed on the beach (it is a little too cold for swimming, LOL) and there are ample hotel rooms close to the show site as well as some great restaurants which stay open for this event.
I will be doing the entries for those of you whom have asked us to make their entries tomorrow. So, if you would like us to make the entries for you, please let us know by tomorrow. For those of you who are making their own entries, please send us email confirmation.
Please remember that i will not be able to make any last minute entries on Wednesday morning as we will be on the road to the Howard County shows. So I must receive your information by Tuesday in order to get these entries in time.
The show season is starting off great and we look forward to even more success in the shows to come.

Well i expected to have the show list completed before leaving for Orlando but it just didn’t work out that way. so i promise to get it completed once we return. Adam was badly bitten by a grooming dog (a little bichon/poodle mix) and we spent a day in the ER having it worked on and a drain put in. He was back at the ER Sunday morning so that they could check it, give him the o.k. to go to Florida and remove the drain. So we will be leaving today and arriving home late next Monday evening.
In the meantime, I wanted to provide you with the January shows we will be attending. Please let us know if you would like us to make the entries for you or if you prefer to make them yourself, please send us email confirmation that they have been completed. I will be doing our entries as soon as I return from Orlando as they will begin closing that Wednesday. It seems that time is running at the speed of light!
