What Sophie wants for her 5th Birthday

Sophie wants a White Puppy for her birthday this year. When her Great Grandmother asked her what she wanted to do for her Birthday party her response was she wanted a White Puppy. Well Daddy and Mommy say NO (for now). Last week grandma had six white puppies. I am sure there is a Birthday puppy in the lot. I told her I would keep her puppy at my house she says she will keep her in her room. Last Saturday I asked Sophie what she would name a White Puppy? She whispered in my ear Pearl. Yesterday, she saw and held one of the puppies I asked her again the puppies name. Pearl she told me. Her mother asked her on the way home, "Sophie where did you get the name Pearl"? Her response "From a Clam!" So it is Pearl. How could one deny a little White Pearl to a five year old?-----NOT ME

What Would You Do???

Saturday there was a judge change at the Utah Valley Kennel Club shows. The judge that replace the orginal judge is a person I ABHOR, detest, despise. I do not like their ethics and told them 16 years ago they would NEVER touch one of my dogs again. Well here was my dilemma. Do I break majors upsetting my fellow competiors or do I show my dogs knowing I will not be judged fairly in the ring?? Well I did not break the majors but I will not be as considerate next time. I am still angry I had to compromise my values and let that person touch my dogs.

A breeders heartache I hurt so much for the owners

Hi Lyle-

I wanted to email you and let you know what is going on with Puppy and us
these days.

Puppy is growing into a beautiful dog. Wherever we go with her, people
ask us about her and admire her. When we've taken her to the dog park
both husband and I agree that she is the most beautiful dog in the large
dog section and interacts with the other dogs better than the vast
majority of the dogs there. We all love her.

Balanced against is though is some serious emotional and behavioral
problems that son has been having, particularly since the beginning of
the year. We have been working with his neurologist, psychiatry and
now with a behavioral specialist to get him more balanced but at least
so far, we haven't made the kind of progress that we had hoped for.
Son can be wonderful one moment and angry and upset the next. I know
that you know puppy to be a sensitive soul, so you can imagine how his
erratic behavior is making puppy very anxious. We do our best to keep
them apart when he is acting this way but in real life it is not always
possible.

husband and I have talked about this a lot and we have even warned son
about what might happen if he doesn't control his temper. We really
feel that puppy should be in another home. Someday, Son will get
better but it won't come soon enough for puppy's best interest. We want
her to be a calm home, Lyle. I'm sad to say ours is not right now. We
feel puppy deserves better. I picture her in a calmer environment,
ideally with a kind but authoritative owner and preferably no small
children.

I don't think that I have to explain to you how difficult this decision
is. We have grown attached to puppy these last few months and made her
one of the family. But I have to ask myself if this is really good for
her? Sadly, it is not. We remember that the contract that we signed
with you stated that in the event that it didn't work out that we would
return puppy to you. If that is still your preference, we will certainly
do that. We have found that puppy gets terribly car-sick so it's hard to
imagine driving her back to Utah, although I suppose we could ask our
vet for a med. Alternatively, we could put her on a non-stop flight
from XXXX to Salt Lake City. I'd probably also ask the vet for something
to sedate her for that as well.

Lyle, in the back of mind is a certain fear that you will be mad at me.
You trusted us with your beloved puppy and while we have taken very good
care of her, we find ourselves needing to return her. We've never had
to do this with a dog before. It feels like a sad defeat for me personally.

We do hope you understand our decision and don't mind hearing this in an
email rather than a phone call. It's hard enough for me to type this
let alone talk about it. However, I will give you a call in a few days
and we can discuss the best arrangements.


Warm regards,
XXXXX

Little Things that make a breeders day

this is an email from one of my puppy owners it really makes my day:

Hi Lyle. I thought I'd send you a Nami update. The "puppy princess" lovesmeeting new people and likes to play with puppies that don't run her overwhen rough-housing (at her puppy class). She has a solid sit, down andstand. She has a reliable heel-finish (her favorite) and settle (layingdown on her side). She's doing well with learning no and off, and respondsto drop it and take it, even when really excited and playing. She stillhas some strong bites and nips, but "off" and "that's not your chew toy"are working better (she then goes to find one of her chew toys). She'sdifferent from any dog I've known because low/loud/sharp corrections makeher even more excited; low/slow/composed voices work best to redirect her.She loves the water in the pool and spraying from the hose. She ischanging our lives in the best of ways! Robyn

blowing eggs for Easter

Diva Elizabeth and Brooke like to blow eggs to decorate for Easter.

We are lucky we have eggs left after Zippy jumped inn the back of the van landing right on top of 5 flats of eggs.

She broke about a dozen.

This is some of the eggs before they have been finished.
