Thyme got her first CDX leg on Sunday with a very respectable score of 191 1/2 and a second place.  Here she is with her pretty red ribbon and her prize which is a polar fleece blanket.  Pickle is photo bombing with her new toy which I bought her at the show.

Went to the beach with Joanna Kimball and she took some photos

No puppies.

After driving 30 hours to accomplish a breeding with both of my girls, Callie and Lark, I find out today, by ultrasound at the vet's, that neither is pregnant.  I will try again to a different boy and see if I can have happier results.  No one is more disappointed than ME!!!!! 😢

Pickle and I spent a few days in Maine

Pickle winning in VT

Breeding

It has happened.  The deed has been done. Au naturale this time.  So, now we wait...................if there is to be news, it won't be for 4 weeks.  Until then the girls are keeping the secret close.  Stay tuned!

And so it begins.............

Lark and Callie are both in heat............stay tuned!!!!,

Pickle is 6 months!

GRAND Champion Callie

This weekend Callie fulfilled the requirements to achieve the title of grand champion.  She was already a champion but, then, she earned 25 points in the Best of Breed competition.  This included beating other champions and earning points at the bigger shows.  She is the first natural earned black Dane to do this.  I am over the moon thrilled and so proud of her!!!

Callie

She is getting there.  We went to Maine and picked up another point towards her grand championship.  Just 4 singles to go.

Pickle is 5 months
