Lovely Kirra had a wonderful time at a four day cluster with owners Jane Alexander and John Flanagan. She was RWB to 3 nice majors, and took WB for a 3 point major. Well done,all 3 of you. We are very proud.

Four of our wonderful dogs convened in Hamburg NY for a busy weekend. Present and working well were Rocket and Wayne from Becky's first litter with Brenner, and Feist and Reve (co-bred with dear friends Linda and Rory Friedow) from Becky's second litter with Marley. FRIDAY - in Obedience, Rocket got her final UD leg (the only qualifier in Utility A) to earn her CH UDT in both Canada and the US. This is a very rare accomplishment, even in our very talented breed. Congratulations to handler Norma King and proud husband Gord.

Wayne had 3 BOB wins, under Michael Shoreman, Steve Dainard and Dave Eadie.

Wayne had a fine weekend, taking 2 BOB wins under Richard Fehler and Chris Neilson, and a Group 1 under Janet Buchanan.

Anne Williams and Reve had a wonderful 4 days at the Leatherstocking Cluster, taking 8 points with some very nice wins: BOB and a 4-point major over a Special, BOW and 2 points, RWD, and finally BOS and 2 points over a male Special. Anne and Reve are a wonderful team, enjoying their time together in the ring. Congratulations to both of them!

Wayne took BOB under John Ross at the United Kennel Club.

Wayne took BOB all 3 days, and a Group 2 under Tom Touzel.

Charm and Wayne did well. On Friday, Wayne went BOB and Group 4 under Keke Kahn, and Charm took BOW. On Saturday, Wayne was again BOB / Group 4 under Jim Reynolds, and Charm (as a Special) was BOS. On Sunday, Wayne was BOB. The Breed and Group rings were competitive all 3 days; it was an honour to be in such good company.

Anne Williams proudly reports that Reve passed his CGC. Good boy, Reve!

Wayne showed in Welland, and took 2 Group 4th placements under judges Martin Doherty and Joan Beech. Our good friend and and breeder Scott Johnson helped us out with the showing, as I traveled to Trout Creek for a 6-show set in 3 days. Kathy Derrick and her lovely Charm came up from Wisconsin, and Charm got her Canadian CH in fine form, with 3 BOS, 2 BOB and 1 Group 3, the last under Neil Graves. Feist did her part, taking a BOB as well. Oneida girls were in the ribbons in all 6 shows, and Wayne did a fine job holding down the fort at home. We are very proud.
