Harrisburg Shows are the weekend of April 15th-17th and hopefully there will be majors there. :0) Thanks Kathy! You do such a great job with him.

April Fools!

Well Mother Nature has a strange way of giving us some wonderful weather and then BAM This...



Hopefully this is the last snow of 2010-2011 winter here but time will tell.

In other News, Charla is due on 4-7 but I honestly do not think she's going to make it to Monday with the way she's acting. So we took her down to the Vet for an X-ray. :0)



Babies are all lined up and getting ready. Won't be long now. YAY

What Am I?

It's shiny, It's silver, It has holes, is 48 inches wide and it's sitting in my grooming room (ordered it Friday). What am I?



A Brand new SS tub!!!! YAHOOO. This tub will replace the utility sink I was using. Which worked well but my dogs deserve the absolute BEST!

Well My Summer Vacation Starts!

Yesterday was my last day at work for this winter. I have the absolute BEST seasonal job in the world. I will not have to return until probably late Sept/ Early Oct. I can now enter shows, have babies and focus full time on my dogs. I just LOVE my Job! :0)

Charla's Ultrasound

Took lil Miss VERY pregnant down for her Ultrasound today! Casey saw 4 pups in one horn and 3 pups in the other. So she is going with 7! Casey is usually dead on. Not to much longer now. Hoping for lots of Black tri Boys!

Pasha Poo is ALMOST ready to return to the Ring! She was last shown in May 2010. After an extended break and some coat rehab she is certainly getting there! Pasha has 6 points which includes a 4 point major. We are super excited about her getting back out.

Patches Writes:

Hi Grammy Rae,
I have had a good week in my new home. My brother Max is fun to play with. I have learned to climb up and down stairs and to sit when asked. Most times I listen. We went to the pet store yesterday and I got a new toy to play with. Then we went for a long walk at the Shops at Evergreen Walk.

Today we went to Haddam Meadows. We had a lot of fun running with to new dogs that we met there. When we came home Mom gave me a bath cause I was really dirty. Tomorrow I go to the Vets. Mom said she will let you know how I made out.
Bye for now Love ya, Patches

Patches has been adopted!

Patches from our Tacoma/Jeffrey litter last August has officially been adopted by The Height's of CT. Patches we were keeping as a show prospect but unfortunately did not turn out as we had hoped. He has a new brother named Max and is now living the life of luxury! Bye Patches, you will be missed.

Family Photo Shoot!

FINALLY I was able to tie down my family for pictures. It's not an easy task with an 18yr old and a 16 yr old but it is done now. So excited about these pictures!

Kelli

Kel has settled in quite nicely here. I have to say this was one of the easiest transitions I think I have ever had with an older dog. Kelli isn't that old, 1 1/2 years old but she is most certainly accustom to an home setting. She is housebroken, knows her name, is very friendly and outgoing. These things you would take for granted when buying an older pup but it's not always the case as most have been raised in kennels with little to no one on one human interaction. I would not hesitate to buy another dog from Kathryn Smith or Per Rysmyhr. Per pretty much raised Kelli from birth and how she is, is a direct reflection of the love/care she has been given. She is an awesome lil girl and we are just thrilled with her!

Charla is on a date!

Charla has officially been bred to CH Tell-Tails Proof Positive! Vincent, pictured below, is owned and loved by our dear friend/Handler Kathy Korab. He, as pictured on right, recently won Best Junior Handler with Haley at ASC 2011 at 7 1/2 years old. He has produced 9 Champions so far in VERY limited/Selective breedings. Vincent is a tall, gorgeous boy who is up on leg with a beautiful long neck, clean shoulders and an easy care, straight coat. He is looking forward to becoming CERF PERM Clear in July on his 8th Birthday. He will join both His Father & Mother on this Perm Clear Status! Babies due in April, Waiting list has Started!

Daddy & Lex having some fun!

Tom took Kelli, Patches, Swirl and Kodi to the back field and raced them back to the house thru VERY deep snow. Who Wins?

Alexis Semi!

CH Ka-ron's Sweet Obsession

Our newest Addition to the Aine Cocker Clan! With great pride I introduce Kelli! Many, Many Thanks to Kathryn Smith for this wonderful lil Girl! We are sooooo Happy to have her.

Happy New Year

May this Year Bring you all Good Health, Prosperity, Family strength and the ability to fill up your gas tank. (rolls eyes) LOL
