"Kodak" x "Foreman" litter about 4 weeks old now. AWESOME potential here for show puppies. Exciting confomation, confident personalities and a few with outstanding heads. If you are interested in a puppy from this litter for show or pet, don't miss your chance. Still accepting a few deposits.

"Austin" x Ch. Skansen's Strider Armstrong have a large litter with a majority of awesome males. Interested in show or pet?  this litter should provide some excellent opportunities!

     Last week Debbie Rosetti and I loaded up and headed off to the Wheaton and Rosemont Illinois shows. Full of energy and eagerness, her girl Drew looking the best she has ever looked and my boys Frank and Foreman very presentable. Foreman took winners dog the first day for two points. Frank took his third major win the last day under judge Mrs. Joan Anselm which also finished his championship. Drew was considered for winners but at the last minute was awarded a reserve.  Finishing on a good note was the only way the weekend could look up. We lost antifreeze from the water pump,  then the converter for the generator quit and we lost our frig and microwave and furnace. We did manage to leave Chicago before the freezing rain was forecast.  Our trip home was uneventful and even with the vehicle problems I am excited to begin planning our late winter/spring show schedule.

Congratulations to our youngest Rally trainer, Rachel Kicklighter. Her boy Fanta C Jack earned back to back excellent scores to recieve 2 legs towards his RN title! Way to go Rachel! Appreciation also goes to her Mom Sue, for supporting and assisting her daughters efforts. And by the way, her boy Jack achieved this at just 6 months old!

Congratulations to Ray and Julia Modler for exemplary results in Rally competition. Ch. Niers Oliver Travels is ranked 5th in the US on the GSCA website. Ranked 4th is their young fellow Fanta C's Lethal Weapon. Those observing the competition at our Nationals in September gave a round of applause and cheers after watching the two boys together competing as a brace. They were simply awesome!

Congratulations to Helen Banet and her boy Fanta C House Of The Rizn Sun. He earned his CD title looking like a pro and is currently ranked 7th in the US on the GSCA website. We look forward to future excellent results in the obedience ring from this dynamic duo.

"Lazarus" aka Fanta C House Of The Rizn Sun is shown in this lovely photo with the adoring granddaughter of his owner.

For months I have been making notes daily in anticipation of being able to share current news and to share accomplishments of others. I must begin with my personal relief that Kayla has returned from Iraq and Nathan has returned from Afghanistan. You both have my gratitude and admiration for your servitude and sacrifice to serve our country.

One of the hardest things for Kayla was to leave Idjit, her best friend for 17 years. Idjit used to sit by the window waiting for Kayla to get home every day when she started kindergarten. It was a tearful reunion.
