We have officially moved to the new
property. Note new phone # in the footer of each page. It's been crazy
with pups and moving, etc so we had no time to do as many pix of the pups
growing up as we would usually do. They're all doing great and getting
ready for new homes. |

I took one look and
"insisted" (ok, pleaded) to my friend Margaret that she let me
show her gorgeous boy Sampson.
Well, here we are, only a few months and a total of 6 weekend shows later
and Sampson has finished his CH with 5 majors!! He won a 3 point major his
very first time in the ring! Next, was a 5 point major, Best of
Breed win from the classes (over 7 specials)! We decided to try the
"big show" at Long Beach on 12/11 & 12/13 for the Eukanuba
Classic where he went BOW Friday at the all breed show and went WD at the
Specialty /Eukanuba Classic to finish his CH! Undeniable breed type, rock
solid temperament and absolutely exquisite movement . I LOVE this dog!!
Thanks Margaret for entrusting him to me! Pictures and judges
acknowledgements coming soon. See AKC
website for the pix from his win at Eukanuba (Winners Dog - Shandael's
Sampson). Not our best photo, but we both had a bit of nervous energy going
at this point!! :-)
Missy has been bred to Sampson!! See the Current
Litter page for pedigree and info on the upcoming litter due approximately
2/14/10.

We headed up to the Canadian Alaskan
Malamute National and associated 4 all breed shows. In the 5 shows, Missy
was 1st in the Bred By class each show, took Reserve WB in 2 shows and was
Winners Bitch the other 3 shows. She now needs just 2 points to finish her
Canadian CH. It was a beautiful show!
Thanks to Mary Jane Holabach for making the drive up with us (and for all
that help ringside! ) |

Well....MY plan was to do a bunch of dog shows over the next
few months....Missy thought blowing her coat so we could just go
snow-shoeing and hiking was a better plan. Guess
who won? We'll be back out in a few months! |

Pups go to their new homes. Everyone is adjusting well
and those cute little fur-balls are busy wrapping their new owners around
their paws.
Missy LOVES Kya's babies...I think she wants a few of her own :-).
Scamp wishes we would go to a smaller breed. He is such a push over it wouldn't
matter!! See pix on the Gallery Page |

We're playing with puppies and having tons of fun, but no
dog shows for any of us until the puppies go to their homes and it cools
off a bit! See pictures on the Puppies page |
