Burrrrrr To The Burr Burr

Nov 20, 2016 | Breeze the Whippet, Junior Showmanship, Pryia the Australian Shepherd, Showing Chihuahuas, Stella

Man oh man was it cold today! Like 34 degrees when we got her old! OUCH! That’s one of the pains of showing at this location – Ocala and Brooksville can get pretty darn cold. We all dealt with the frigid temps in our own ways today. And of course, we had 8...

Stella’s First Show

Nov 19, 2016 | Breeze the Whippet, Flirt, Junior Showmanship, Pryia the Australian Shepherd, Showing Chihuahuas, Stella

Georgie and Tino spent the last two days bonding and playing in the trolley at the show and I have to say, I think we will be seeing a lot of this in our future. We have had as many unbiased options give in after both Tino and Rio were assessed this weekend and we are...

Change In Plans

The plan for this weekend was to head to Plant City to show Priya today and tomorrow in both breed and junior showmanship. With an 8 AM ring time for juniors tomorrow, I did book a hotel for tonight and decided to bring the puppies along with Stella and Breezy for...
