Mostly through July already - where is the summer going?
The Storm/Tina puppies have all left the house for lives of their own and I kept an awesome female from the Tina X Macks litter that I named Joules. She is a PISTOL! Dauntless, high octane, smart...I've bitten off a challenge for sure. I am really looking forward to getting back to some serious field work and she is the right puppy for the job.
Great weekend in Idaho for the Hellfire Sussex girls. Rogue, the "ugly sister" went Bred By/Winners Bitch both Saturday and Sunday, then stunned me by taking a Bred By Exhibitor Group 1 against 6 other sporting breed puppies. I nearly fell over from shock. Not to be outdone, her CH litter sister Marvel went Best of Breed over her Top 5 ranked dad for a great Grand Champion major win! I was over the moon pleased.
