HAPPY BIRTHDAY to RBIS GABIZOS! You are one of the best dogs, ever! 14 years old today and still a flirt with the ladies and top dog in the household! Thank you and we hope to spend many more years with you.
Also the birthday of quite a few of his sons and daughters! ❤️.

Thank you Olivier Matz for sending us such a treasure!

We had a FANTASTIC dog show weekend with our handsome boy, Irish, getting a Herding Group 4th placement and a Herding GROUP 1st! WooHoo!! What a thrill for me to be in the Best in Show lineup with him and he just never lets me down for a second. Good dog!!

My thanks to my friend, Janet, for taking the video and the judges Ms. Bea Sawka and Ms. Esther Joseph for their interest in the breed.

At the 2024 National Specialty my darling Pooka2 was awarded and recognized for her contribution to the breed. Despite her passing away last summer, I think of her daily. She was a consummate mother to everyone. I am grateful for the PSCA Club honoring her. 🥲

On the weekend we attended the Pyrenean Shepherd Club of America National Specialty Show in Louisville, Kentucky.
Our "Run for the Roses" was a huge success for our male, Irish, and our Veteran female, Tryst. Irish hit the finish line with an Am. Championship title and Best in Specialty! Tryst was not far behind and was in the ribbons most days.
