Excited to share that today, Ralph won RWD to a 3 point major at the White River Golden Retriever Club Specialty! So close to winning and no points given for “2nd best class dog at a Specialty show,” but an indication my buddy is growing up. Thank you to the White River Golden Retriever Club for putting on a great weekend and to Jenny Ford for capturing a sweet picture of Rose cuddling up to me waiting for her class. As always, it was a fun time showing with my Golden friends. Camper driver, Jeff even spent the whole weekend at the dog show! ❤️

Two shows in two weekends is exhausting, but lots of fun! No points, but Ralph and Rose showed well with 100 beautiful Goldens entered in the shows. Ralph’s ribbons on the top and Rose’s on the bottom. Two states and always a fun time with camping buddies sharing great memories and spending time with fellow Golden friends. A huge thank you to the Greater Pittsburgh and Cuyahoga Valley Golden Retriever Clubs for top notch hospitality for 4 days of shows in PA this past weekend, and Morgantown, WV with lots of steep hills the weekend before.

Great weekend for my GCGRC’s Specialty in Hamilton, Ohio. There were lots of beautiful dogs, good food (I heard) at our club’s Potluck, and fun seeing Golden friends. My youngest granddaughter, Kennedy was Baptized on Saturday afternoon so family took precedence over a dog show. Thank you to Suzy Perry for showing Rose and Ralph in my absence. I brought home a lot of ribbons, but my special win was today at the Cincinnati Kennel Club show after the Specialty show with Rose winning Reserve Winners
Bi_tch! It’s a proud breeder brag showing a dog you bred and watching her shine in the ring. Thank you Mrs. Marjorie J. Underwood for awarding Reserve to Rose in a ring full of beautiful girls! Huge thanks to my camper driver, Jeff for providing me with my home away from home for the weekend.

I’m so proud of Rose today, my puppy I bred, for winning WB today for her 1st point in Bloomington, Indiana. Thank you to judge, Mrs. Marilyn Pipes, for her kind words. Ralph won his class too so it was a great day!

Cross one off of my bucket list! It happened yesterday in Virginia with Kristin Lyons on the end of Blaze’s lead. Jan Berie, Debbie Koons and I have a new Champion and my very first home bred Champion! Marble Manor Goldens is so proud! Blaze is only 13 months old and one year ago Debbie and Jan were at my house going back and forth for hours between Green boy and Red Boy. I think they made the best choice! Thank you to everyone involved for creating Blaze’s pedigree to make him worthy of being a Champion and especially to Jan for sending him off to show and giving him a wonderful home and life. Jan’s plan for him now is to let him grow up and learn new skills.

Happy National Golden Retriever Day to my crew who always keeps my windows dirty when outside.

A pile of Goldens at my feet while I do desk work on a snowy day off of school. I am sure they are enjoying the warm and fuzziness as much as me!

My annual Christmas picture with my Goldens. Too bad Rose and Ralph need to be separated because of Mother Nature, but in true Rose and Mia fashion, this shows their personalities. Thanks to Zoey for keeping Ralph’s ears clean!

Fun time at the Golden Retriever Specialty in Columbus, Ohio! Ralph and Rose showed well and placed, as well as lots of fun with friends and meeting new ones. Temps in the 20’s in a camper by myself, running out of propane to keep it warm, driving 2 hours home on Saturday to spend Thanksgiving with my family and back up that night to show early the next morning. Of course Schmidt’s German Restaurant and Rods Western Palace were a staple. Love the Golden life! Thanks to Jeff for taking the camper!

Special pictures of me showing at the National. The photographer captured a moment with me telling Rose how good of a job she’s doing in the Bred By class. Ralph’s beautiful gait with two of my wonderful Golden friends watching in the background. It’s a show I’ll always remember.

A fun time with friends at the New Castle, PA four day Specialty and one more day to go. Taking three dogs and entered in 18 classes is so much fun with many opportunities of showing. Mia is showing at 4 month post whelping. Mia’s two puppies, Rose and her brother, Blaze showed against each other in the 4-6 month classes, and Ralph is showing at 10 months old with his brother, Hugo. Thank you to my camper transporter, Jeff! My camper roomies, Debbie Koons and Jan Berie are making the weekend extra fun!

Rose’s socialization at Oxford’s farm market today. People loved the “cute puppy” and she had so much fun walking around taking in the sights, sounds and smells. I had fun showing off my puppy I raised.

05/23/2022

Rose and Ralph. Two Goldens that have so much affection for humans and their attention. ♥️🌹

Thank you to Laura Zuger and Joy Long for allowing me to breed Mia to Bailey. Also huge thanks to Jan Berie and Debbie Koons for helping me select the breeding. Jeff and I are excited to watch this spunky little girl grow. 🌹

A special thank you to all of Bella’s puppy’s new families. Good luck sweet babies and enjoy your new life in your new homes and don’t forget everything you learned! I was even able to sneak Ralphie’s first two shows in. After the ten were picked up, then there were Mia’s three left. Thank you to Jan Berie, Debbie Koons and Jan Whitaker for coming to do puppy evaluations for possible conformation puppies. Now to clean up.

04/03/2022

It was such a big week for Mia’s and Bella’s puppies turning 7 weeks old today and tomorrow. It finally turned warm (1 day), so they got to go outside and experience grass. Puppy evaluations were performed to choose the new owners. More visitors and at the end of the week, the puppies will be going to their new homes! Yes I will miss them, but it’s time they move on and be loved by their new families.

03/27/2022

Bella’s and Mia’s puppies are 6 weeks old! Lots of visitors and play time. The puppies had their first bath today thanks to Nicole Kern, Karen Casey and girls for your help!

03/20/2022

Bella’s and Mia’s puppies are now 5 weeks old! They are learning to drink water, learn elevation, getting used to loud noises, different visitors, playing with new puppy friends, more toe nail trimming, brushing, but the best part is when they crawl in your lap and go to sleep. Temporarily, I am their human. 🥰

03/14/2022

Bella’s and Mia’s puppies are 4 weeks old! The whelping pen was removed and puppy mash was introduced, which means the mess starts. There were lots of visitors this weekend to help socialize the puppies. Loud noises were introduced and lots of toys, some with lights and sounds. The puppies are growing and playing.

03/06/2022

Bella’s and Mia’s puppies are 3 weeks old! All of the puppies have their eyes open, walking around, starting to play with each other and an occasional bark. There’s nothing better than sitting on the floor and putting a pile of puppies in your lap.
Thank you to Laura Zuger, owner of Bailey, for the precious lady bug mat to brighten Mia’s puppy pen.

All puppies are spoken for.

Almost every night, Ralphie and I practice stacking, standing, and gaiting used in the Conformation show ring, which his showing days are in the very near future. Ralphie likes to sit a lot instead of standing, which he will need to do in the show ring. Thank you, Amy Booth for another helpful YouTube video. The Champ Dog Gear Biothane Grooming Belly Band has worked exceptionally well in teaching Ralphie to stand instead of sit. After trying numerous items to teach him to stand that have failed, this is a win win product! I’m a fan of Champ Dog Gear Biothane grooming nooses and collars as well. Thanks, Amy for another great video! Ralphie is growing up to be a beautiful boy!

12/22/2021

Merry Christmas and a Happy 2022! I am very blessed to have a wonderful family, my beautiful grandchildren and children, loving husband, my special Golden friends, my loving dogs (including my new addition, Ralphie!), my new job at a new school and age group with fantastic staff, and able to attend the Golden Retriever National this past fall! I look forward to what the new year has in store for me.

Ralphie turns 12 weeks old tomorrow! He and Mia are the best of friends and he’s being such a good boy. Training in process for this little boy.

Who travels 1,001 miles in 28 hours after work to pick up a new puppy, drive through a Chicago backup twice, pit stop at an exit to eat dinner with Becky and two grandkids, and be home in time to babysit two other grandkids? Meet Mia’s future showing partner, Ralph (Ralphie), AKC pending name: Trademark’s Couture Lauren Redesigned By Calvin. I can’t thank Ginny Kincer and Theresa Zeise enough for giving me the opportunity to show and own my first male from a beautiful litter. Exciting future for this baby boy!

Day 1 at the Muncie Kennel Club show. Thank you to Judge Edweena McDowell in giving Mia WB, BOW and BOS! It’s hot today showing, but thankful for my dear husband bringing up the camper so Mia and I have a cool place to calll home when we’re here.

07/24/2021

Today was a great day in South Bend, Indiana with Mia winning WB and OHBOB under Judge Timothy Catterson. Thanks to my two biggest fans, Ginny Kincer for taking the picture, and Lindsey Miller. Celebration afterwards for National Tequila Day!
