December Fun!

Here is Electra and Bebe, in Christmas collars. Also, Gidget, sent a pic of her herding today.

A NEW TITLE!!!!

Here is our friend, Amy, with Oliver, who just earned his Utility title (UD) on Saturday, December 10th!!! Mom and I are so proud of this team. Amy, Mom and I went to the Shoreline show in Costa Mesa on Friday, and Oliver attempted to get his title there, but made a mistake so didn't qualify. Bebe, Gidget and Electra also went and strutted their stuff in the breed rings, Bebe was Reserve. which was fun. Amy and Oliver headed to Woodley Park on Saturday for the Hollywood Obedience Club trial and after earning his Open FAST title in agility, they had a successful turn in the Utility A class. And he earned first place in the class as well. Kudos to both Amy and Oliver for all the hard work it takes to earn a Utility Dog title!!!!!

I just got an email from Roberta who has three Rincon Cardis, Chloe has earned her AKC therapy dog title, another wonderful achievement!

Show Update

Mom and I went to dog shows this weekend in the City of Industry. San Gabriel Valley KC and Antelope Valley KC held their shows at the Industry Hills Equestrian Center. Amy joined us, with Oliver and Gidget. (you should have seen the car packed with 4 dogs and 3 people and all that is needed for two days of dog shows and a night in a La Quinta.) Decker was Best of Breed on Saturday and got the Select ribbon on Sunday, so she is a bit closer to her Grand Championship. Electra and Gidget both showed well, and Oliver had two almost successful attempts at his third leg of his Utility title.

Wedding Day!

Here are a couple of pix that my sis, Pam took at the weddding. Our Katie married Kit on Sept. 3rd. It was great fun. I made a 4 tiered cake, which was gone in about 15 minutes after it was cut!

Charlie/Brady Photo Op!

Here are the girls who came from Florida. Top to bottom, Electra, Piper, Connie and Belle. Electra will be staying here at Rincon, Piper is now living in Thousand Oaks, and may be seen in the show ring, which is fun. She has chickens and cats and a horse to get to know for now. Belle and Connie will be going to their new homes in Thousand Oaks and Pasadena later this week. We journeyed down to Long Beach yesterday, to go the the LBKC show and also to sort puppies. My extremely knowledgeable buddy, Barb helped me to sort the puppies, going over structure with each one. We had quite an audience of other Pembroke and Cardigan folks, and it made for a very fun afternoon. And to top it off, Bebe got another point towards her championship!

Pix of the Florida Girls

Here are the two Florida girls, who arrived in CA on Tuesday. Piper (side shot) and Electra are settling in, and they got to go up to Cate School on Sunday for fun on the soccer field. Their half sis Gidget, and half brother Oliver joined them which was fun.

Saturday Fun.

Here's a pic taken by Lissa, our obedience instructor, at Darcy's obedience class on Saturday. He really enjoys it. I also took Bebe for a class, her first. She was trying very hard to figure out what I wanted her to do, I could see the wheels turning in her head!
