Tony is a daddy! His 1st litter, by Sunburst Kelly Girl, is here at last, and so far all of the babies look a lot like their daddy.

Griffin earned his Novice Jumpers with weaves (NAJ) title with another beautifully clean run and first place win. Way to go, Griffin and Jodi!

February 1, 2009

"Griffin", owned by Jodi Emenhiser of Indianna and bred by Heather Bethune, had a GREAT weekend at his agility trials. He had 3 first place wins, all perfect clean runs, and earned 2 legs towards his Novice Jumpers With Weaves title, and one leg towards his Novice Agility title. Jodi and I are so proud of him! Now, if his little sister Kaya (also owned by Mrs. Emenhiser) will jut follow in big brother's footsteps!

Noelle just delivered 4 boys and 2 girls, all gorgeus, just like mama (and daddy)!

January, 2009
Noelle is definitely pregnant, with at least 5 puppies seen in the ultrasound. We cannot wait to see what she and CH GrandGables Boy Oh Boy have produced! I am hoping to get his amazing coat on some of the puppies!

November 2008
We are very proud of Noelle (Wildoak Christmas Cheer) who performed admirably at her first shows in Concord NC in November. Although she did bring home two ribbons, she did not enjoy the ring as much as we had hoped, or have the "look at me" attitude that she needs to be really competitive. So, we have decided to concentrate on breeding, rather than showing, this beautiful girl.

April, 2008
Tony may not have brought home any ribbons from Montgomery, but he had a great time and gained a lot of experience and confidence. I am looking forward to getting him in the ring again soon.
