Happy howl-i-days from the dogs and humans of Coppercrest! (And the cat, who politely declined to participate in this photoshoot)

How time flies!! These are Ribbon’s 2023 (3.5 weeks old) and 2024 (13 months old) holiday photos🎄I may be biased but I think she is still the cutest thing ever!

I have never met a dog who loves crates as much as Minnow. She is so obsessed with this too-small-for-her airline crate I had to leave it up for her permanently after puppies left. Silly 🐠!

Operation Mason Lives Forever has officially commenced!

Mason, age 12, was recently enrolled in Loyal's STAY study. This is a clinical trial for a new drug designed to extend lifespan by improving metabolic health in senior dogs. More information about the STAY study can be found here: https://loyal.com/clinical-trials

As a bonus, he is absolutely obsessed with his study technician, Becca 🥰

Happy Thanksgiving to our American friends, and happy first birthday to the Cheers litter 🍻! We are very happy to report everyone is doing well, both in dog sport training and (most importantly) as incredible family pets. We love you all!

Ribbon (Diane), Xander (Sam), Ingrid (Carla), Moth (Rebecca), and Norm (still Norm!) 🥰

Ribbon has a new best friend 🥰

(That’s a remote treat dispenser in case I have any non-dog-nerd followers)

Please vote for Mason in this Halloween costume contest! To vote, “like” his photo on Noble Beast Dog Training’s post (any likes on this page won’t count). He may be dressed as a devil, but he is the sweetest angel 😇🥰

Mason the Handsome Devil!

Tandem squirrel freestacks 👯‍♀️

Minnow went Select both days in Cheyenne this past weekend for four more points toward her grand championship (only one point to go!). Ribbon went reserve both days, but had a blast and looooves the judges 🥰

I know in order for the fortune to come true, you have to eat the cookie. But what happens when your spaniel eats the fortune*? Asking for myself 🤔

(*the spaniel was not actually successful in ingesting the fortune 😉)

We had a great weekend at the Rocky Mountain Welsh Springer Spaniel Club’s supported entry in Greeley! Mason came out of retirement to earn his last BN Obedience leg, Minnow picked up another Select for a 5-point grand championship major, and Ribbon went reserve on Saturday (despite being very happy and silly!). Most importantly, we had a great time with some great people and dogs 🙂

**No spaniels were harmed in the taking of this group photo. Mason simply dislikes That Annoying Puppy sitting too close, and Minnow treats every photo as her ASPCA commercial audition 🤦‍♀️

Ribbon with her ribbons!

We had a successful day at the Greeley Kennel Club shows today. Ribbon went Winners then Best of Opposite S*x (over specials) for a 4-point major her second time in the ring! She was very happy and waggy and loved the judge 🥰 This was my attempt at a photo of her with her spoils - she snatched the BOS ribbon and took off with it 🤣. I’ll have to teach a proper ribbon hold next!

Minnow went Select for the last win over specials she needs for her grand championship - just points left now!

Thank you to judge James M. Brown for these wins and for the kind comments - I think I’m still in shock!

Minnow went Select today and picked up her third grand major! No points for The Ribbonator, but she was VERY happy and gave the judge whole-body wiggles 🥰

Unfortunately we got a flat tire on the way home, but AAA came to the rescue and the girls got to ride in the tow truck with their new BFF ☺️

Minnow earned her first qualifying score in AKC agility today with a clean Jumpers run (and only one minor sniffari, despite being outdoors). Time to relax in the hammock before getting beautified for conformation tomorrow 💅🏼

While Ribbon certainly enjoys watching the Olympic equestrian events, she would like to petition the IOC to include dog sports in the 2028 Summer Olympics.
