November 2021Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving! The weekend before Thanksgiving Carolyn Butera-Barker, and I enjoyed 4 days in Columbus, OH showing my swissy girls Paloma and Sprinkles to their first points at the dog show. Paloma is from our Declarations of Peace litter (Kane X Dove) litter born 10.22.2020 and Sprinkles is from our Coldstone Creamery litter (Teddy X Linga) born 6.25.2020. Both girls loved the dog show!

October 2021After a rough couple of years of losing 4 geriatric swissies, 2 young swissies, 1 ancient JRT, and a beautiful young horse Michael and I decided we would keep our little Zippo clone from our Tommy X QE litter born in April of 2020. We lost Quid's Grandma Zippo in early September of this year, and her granddaughter started showing the past few weeks. I think there was a special reason we kept her as she is a daily reminder of the past both in personality and looks.
Congrats to little Quiddy on your 2nd major! |
October 2021After 2 long years of no dog shows I actually left the farm to go to the Clermont County show with COVID "puppies" from my first two litters in 2020, and my 1 year old Paloma who was from my last litter born in October 2020. My cute lovebug bitch Quid, Seneca's Quid's In was WB for a big 4 point major on Sunday and Mary Spaar and I are totally smitten with our boy Mack, (co-owned with his amazing family) Seneca's Smack Talk who went WD/BOS over many specials Sat. for a nice 5 point Major and WD/BOW Sunday for a 4 point major under the expert guidance of Nicki King! Thank you to Judges Nancy Liebes and Dana Cline. Quid and Mack represent both of our litters sired by Cathy Cooper's boy Tommy. Mack is a Dove son and Quid is a QE daughter. For their 1st time ever they did great! Thanks to all of the terrific GSMD friends who helped me with my circus
