- A whole year and I haven't posted anything new! Honestly this does not mean that nothing happened, it just means I've been very lax at keeping this site updated. There have been some new titles, some first points for the new show pup, and the loss of an elder, among other things. There are no new litters coming or planned, as we're in a bit of a hiatus after Frankie's litter. She is now retired and the next one to 'take up the torch' will hopefully be her daughter Farren, though as she is still very much a baby it will be a couple of years at least before we contemplate breeding her.
- March 27, 2014: The puppies have arrived! 1 girl and 2 boys. To see pictures of the litter, visit our 2014 Litter Gallery on Pbase.
- March 2014: Exciting news - Frankie was bred in January and is confirmed pregnant! She is due March 26. This will be her 2nd and final litter.
- 2013: A year of ups and downs, but let's focus on the achievements - young Finnie made her agility trial debut and with limited trialing she earned 4 new titles: AAC Agility Dog of Canada (ADC) and Starters Games Dog of Canada (SGDC) and CKC Novice Standard (AGN) and Novice Jumpers with Weaves (AGNJ.) She also earned Qs in CKC Intermediate Standard and JWW. Her mom Frankie earned her AAC Masters Gamblers Dog of Canada (MGDC) title, which also earned her Agility Trial Championship title (ATChC.) She also earned her AAC Bronze Expert Snooker title.
- 2012: I've been quite lax at updating this page, but it's not because of a lack of things to boast about! Frankie and Danni have continued to do well in agility, with Frankie earning her Masters Jumpers Dog of Canada title (MJDC) in March, and her Agility Excellent title (AGX) in June, and Danni earning her Masters Jumpers Dog of Canada (MJDC,) getting the last Q in March, newly running in the Veteran class (Frankie and Danni earned their Jumpers titles at the same time!) As well, Finnie finished her Championship in July. On a sad note we suddenly and unexpectedly lost Zack in August, at just 10 years old.
