I'm so very proud of my girl! We recently attended UKC Premier and my beautiful girl blew me away with all her wins!!! On Thursday she we were invited to show in Top 10 where the TOP 10 dogs of each breed compete against each other. I'm very honored that Stephanie Mueller thought enough of us to award Gryffin Best of Breed for TOP 10 Mudi! Also on Thursday Gryffin jumped the farthest she's ever jumped in dock diving earning a new personal best! On Friday she had qualifying runs in dock diving, Precision Coursing, and Dash! Saturday she won the Grand Champion class which gave her a Total Dog Qualifier! She also tried Weight pull for the first time and was 1 pull away from qualifying! Thank you so much to Kovacs Amarilla at Bonum Et Malum Mudi Kennel FCI for breeding this incredible girl and to Yvette Piantadosi at Wodan Kennels LLC for coordinating getting her to me (and giving up your pick puppy). She is the light of my life and I couldn't imagine my world without her!

Some strange sightings around the farm today. It seems we went to Michigan with 6 dogs but there was 7 in the van when we got home! This cute Mudi girl is here and we don't have a name yet! We did try Tonks (Harry Potter) but that's just not het name. Help us come up with something for this SUPER sweet, strong willed, kinda wild Mudi girl!

Some awesome news for CCAC!

We are excited to announce that we have ordered a fetch-it rig and hopefully we'll have it in the next week or so.

And with that said, we are even more excited that we have been approved for our July event to be a Regional Qualifier for Ultimate Air Games (UAD's National event in Lebanon TN). To enter our July event, you will enter through the Ultimate Air Dogs website instead of through our usual form. More information to come. Looking forward to big exciting things coming to Peach State Air Dogs.

Thank you to Kovacs Amarilla at Bonum Et Malum Mudi Kennel FCI for breeding Gryffin and loving her from the day she was planned! Thank you to Yvette Piantadosi at Wodan Kennels LLC for letting me steal your pick puppy. She has me hooked for life!

I will have a HUGE recap of the weekend when some of our professional photos get here but I want to give a shout out to Kyliee Kikuyama for helping us get Lupin ready for his show this weekend! Most of you know Lupin is an older gentleman and very recently altered so of course we would throw him into his first conformation show! We wanted him to be Aydens Juniors dog since they are so very bonded and he free stacks like a machine! Well little boy outdid himself this weekend going best of Breed in Altered Poms every show and taking an Altered Reserve Best in Show! Not bad for the little man! He got better and better each show and gave his signature LOVE ME look to every judge! Got to love that little guy with the big dog attitude! I do think he wondered where the agility jumps were though!

Please excuse my attempts at a win photo I had to get something with his winnings showing!
