My apologies in advance...

It seems that I am in a semi-permanent state of lurk mode. I have been suffering the last few months with what we are assuming to be carpal tunnel and I do not see the surgeon until April.

Due to this I am avoiding replying to my email lists and only replying or sending very short messages when necessary. I will keep my blog posted with the goings on here, but please forgive me if you think I am ignoring you. I can assure you I am not. It is just too uncomfortable to be on the computer any length of time.

Thank you all for understanding.

It seems we may have some justice.

Sterling! Once single to go.

Luther's son, Sterling, has been a dynamo in the showring!


At 6 months old, he was WD for a 5 point major.


At 10 months old he went down to the Southern Cal Specialty. At the Friday Specialty he was Best Opp in Puppy Sweeps, WD/BOW for another 5 point major!


At the Sunday Supported Show, the same weekend, he again was WD/BOW for a 4 point major! I was told that the bitch major broke from 4 to 5, or else he would have finished with 3 - 5 point majors!

He has one point to go before he is a Champion. Luther & I are very proud of his blue son!

You can see more Luther kids, including Le'o Washburn's beautiful Panda, on my website.

Happy First Birthday Snickers!



Happy Birthday Snickerdoodle!

Time flies! It seems hard to believe that Snickers is a year old already. And, that she is the only blue merle in my house.

She did get a new lime green elephant stuffy as a present, but Chloe snatched it instantly.
