I added a picture of Chai too (in the yellow, these two look similar!). Who else has a picture of a hav on water to share? ❤️
Chai likes her sunset swims ❤️

Small but mighty, Frizz and Kate have been kicking butt in flyball! By the end of the year (barring anything unforeseen) Frizz will by the 4th highest pointed Havanese in NAFA. Super proud of this dynamic duo!!

A few more “brags” from the Muskoka Show.
Lyra got BOBx1 BPIGx2 Selectx3 and a Group 4 for 9 additional points towards her Grand!
Padmé was only there 4/5 shows but in that time managed to finish off her needed points for her Grand Championship! All this despite being completely distracted by seeing Tegan and me and desperately wanting to say hello in the ring 😝
Sasi was entered just 3/5 shows but in that time managed to start off her Grand journey with 8 points (a BOB, Group 2, BPIG and a select!)
Maybe the most exciting was that Harlow and her Momma April rejoined the show world for the last 2/5 shows after a nine month hiatus. Harlow finished her Championship in two weekends last October but after cutting her hair down her owner April decided maybe she wanted to grow it back out and “go for the grand”. It was April’s first time ever in the ring and I was so impressed her and Harlow! Husband Josh came to cheer them on after donning April’s own Havanese t-shirt, talk about support! 😝
I just love the camaraderie and friendship found at dog shows. It was lovely seeing other fellow dog lovers both Havanese and others.
We finished off the Muskoka District Kennel Club in style yesterday with Chai getting Best Baby Puppy in Show!! Chai was trained and beautifully handled by my daughter Tegan and I couldn’t be more proud of them both. Thank you Judge Ted Fahlgren for awarding Chai. Official show photo to follow.

Bath day for Sasi. She’s so relaxed, she likes her spa days! Points if you can figure out which end is which 😝
Luna and Sasi are burning off steam. Chai, on the other hand, is watching the sunset and hoping that means it’s bedtime soon. 😴

My Havs have been “helping” me pick blueberries. By helping, I mean motivating me to pick faster, so they don’t eat them all first 😝
Sparrow also celebrated his Mama Luna’s Birthday yesterday by getting a 5 point major towards his AKC Grand Championship! Way to go Sparrow, Kathy and Myrna! Sparrow is from the Luna/Archie litter and is both a CKC and AKC Champion and close to his Grand Championship in both countries too ❤️🎉

Charlie (Pecan) is pretty enamoured with his new sister Winnie.
Sasi is such a good Nanny dog (and the pups can’t pull at her top knot anymore! 😝)
I hope everyone is keeping cool today 🥵 Seemed like a good opportunity to introduce the pups to some water toys :)
Pups got to meet a “big dog” today. Thank you Kate and Susan for the visit and for introducing your sweet boy to them. Jam is such a good boy and the pups were so brave!
Everyone fell asleep after a play (except Hazel 😝) but I noticed anytime I said something Pecan’s little tail would start to wag in his sleep. The cuteness level in this one… 🥹
Hazel was a bit distracted as she had to gooooo! They are starting to get that outdoors=where you go potty :)
I’ve been taking the pups out to new spaces one at a time. This gets them used to exploring new things apart from their littermates. Today was a part of the unfenced yard they’ve never seen. Sorry for the not-so-great cinematography, it’s hard to video them while they are underfoot 😝 Every one of them is so confident in new spaces. I’m just so pleased with the temperaments in this litter! This is Pecan “Mr Wags” the rest to follow ❤️
Not the most exciting video to watch, but if you turn on the sound, you can hear all the noisy construction that was going on next door. Seemed like a great opportunity to have the pups spend the afternoon outside for some noisy trucks/hammers/people shouting sound socialization!
