A little early morning bumper work at the lake. I have to throw them in a specific order and call out their names…Jigs, Zunga, Decoy!
And that’s a wrap to a fantastic Tyee dog show with Decoy picking up another Select male today for two BOW and two Select males and Best puppy in breed all four days and fourth in puppy sweeps. Zunga showed beautifully for Haedyn and they looked great in juniors but no love today. They ended up with two Select males and A Best of Opposite over 4 days of showing which is wonderful!!! Super proud of Haedyn and how well she shows Zunga. What a team! Love, love, love both these boys! ❤️
The babies were happy it was sunny and warm this weekend cause they got lots of outdoor play time in the big yard with Uncle Decoy! It’s so interesting to watch the dynamics of the pack. Decoy is 7 months and he loves his role of babysitter while Momma Jigs and her partner in crime run around the property and play. Kind of reminds me of leaving the biggest kid at home to babysit the little ones while mom and dad paint the town!
These puppies have sooo much energy now! They have an indoor play area and a small outside area with fake grass on the other side of the sliding door as well as their sleeping area. As soon as it is nice out they can go outside in their covered run but it has been wet and chilly out recently. Bring on the sunshine so the babies can play outside!
Congratulations to Scotiapride’s Eastwest Decoy bred by Barbara Blauvelt of Yarmouth, NS and co owned by Barbara and me. Today little Decoy walked into the show ring for the first time with Panagiota Rounis at the Victoria Kennel Club show in Duncan and he won Best of Winners. Since it was retriever day today they got to show again this afternoon and this amazing team won Winners Male. My heart is bursting with joy for this little guy and Miss P. So proud of you two and I know Decoy’s other mother Barbara Blauvelt is too! Thank you Miss P for everything!! Thank you Barbara for sending Decoy to the other side of Canada to grow up and for trusting me with him. Just sad I couldn’t be there to watch but I am home with the most adorable Toller puppies right now and you can’t do everything ❤️❤️🐾
Good morning friends and Happy Monday from the Literary litter. We are three weeks old and having fun exploring our world. We have little teeth and like to roughhouse with each other. We are finding our voice and can bark, growl and squeak!
These babies have good appetites! I love the contented sound they make when they are nursing🐾❤️
Zunga loves teasing Jigs by keeping the ball away from her. But he’s incredibly good natured - even when she takes it right out of his mouth!
The big dogs are teaching the little guy how to play with them🥰
There’s no better teacher than an older dog. Although Zunga isn’t quite two yet he is happy to introduce the puppy to new experiences!
A video of Princess Jigs from Sunday's sprinter trials. So much fun for people and dogs alike! Instinct based sports such as dock diving and sprinter trials are an enjoyable way to mix up a Tollers activities during the summer. While conformation is very important, it does my heart good to see how much my dogs truly enjoy dock diving and sprinter trials!
And Momma Jigs won yet again! Her puppies will have to get out of bed earlier if they want to beat their mom at her favourite game🐾
