Long-Dangerous Tails

Morning everyone and to all my Jimmy x Funny litter mates out there.  I’m enjoying my morning tennis ball in Peter’s favorite chair.  As you can see by my tongue, I’ve dropped it to the side (makes for more fun as you jump down get the ball and back to the chair).  Actually, Julie H and Peter are trying to teach me to stay out of the chair but everyone morning I prefer playing “try to keep me out of the chair”.  What fun and don’t you think I’m adorable even when misbehaving…what’s a human to do?

Carole, Julie H misplaced your new Email address, could you send it to her again?  Thanks!  Have a great puppy day, even if you are not a puppy.  Play bows to all.  Rudi

Is this not the most beautiful child you’ve ever seen?

Maria Spadavecchia-Lezza, the beauty, with Alta-Tollhaus Schumi, the beast, albeit a very loveable, sweet beast! Here is Schumi demonstrating his enthusiasm for the ring.  He really thought he should have been first!

Maria is one of the many talented handlers from the Huerto-Hof Team. Here she is practicing with Schumi before going into the ring.

Presentation to the judge in a stand:

I was so proud of Becky and Schumi. First Becky, her first dog show ever and her first time double-handling her dog—a skill in itself.  Becky was perfect! I knew Schumi was a good puppy, but I was surprised at the reaction he was getting from other people while we were walking around the show.  I was most proud of his confident and happy attitude.  The critique from the judge was: Medium size, strong head, good bone, excellent front, good rear, good angulation, good outline, the only negative comment had to do with ring training. So what,  it is the baby puppy class they should act like baby puppies!

Heather and Schumi. Becky leaning over talking on the phone to hubby Joe who was attending a dog training seminar:

I thought this was too cute, had to take a picture, both the Chihuahua and the GSD were barking like crazy–until I took their picture—it was a toss up as to which dog seemed more ferocious.

Last but not least the darling of the show, Delilah.

Schumi got VP and Maika got V!
