They are HERE!

We had quite an exhausting and eventful week, so I apologize for not keeping this updated!


Chica and Chase are the proud parents of three beautiful brown puppies!  They were born on Saturday 4/6.

two boys and one girl

I will try (again) to get photos up... but Blogger is making it difficult for me and I do not have much time to sit at a computer to work at it....

Thanks for your patience!

Chica's first litter of puppies - 2007

Chica prefers to view her puppies from the comfort and safety of the swing.  "Auntie Bella" is actually playing with the pups!

Chica with her girl - Ande
Success in the ring meant summers at the county and state fair

Though Chica finished her International Championship IABCA at a young age, most of her ring time was in 4H.  We are fortunate to live in a county with a very strong dog 4H program.  Both our daughters showed their SWDs and through 4H we have been able to educate many dog people and non dog people about the breed.  Chica and Ande participated in conformation, obedience, rally obedience and agility.  Agility was Chica's favorite activity - she LOVES to run a course.

Litter Announcement ~ Spring 2013
