I have an exciting announcement to make, well, more than one!

I will be co-breeding a litter with a young Junior Handler named Jillian with the assistance of her parents who have raised puppies in the past. I have decided to donate the name Charming’s Cocker Spaniels to her as long as she would like to keep the name. Jillian has worked so hard in handling classes and in school to be able to participate in her dog events and this will be her very first co-bred litter!

I already have some interest in this litter, but if you’d like to get your name on the waiting list, please contact me, Lisa Phillips. This litter will be raised in Chesapeake, Virginia and will be available to pet or sport/performance homes. If any show prospects are available, I will make this information available at the time of evaluation (8 weeks old).

Both parents will have all OFA testing done prior to breeding and both are titled in conformation and sports:

Let's talk about this photo. It's cute, except it's not. I see a dog who cannot get up without telling the child to get off. How do you think a dog is going to do that?

The 7 Golden Toddler Dog Rules:
#1: If a dog walks away from you, you DO NOT FOLLOW.
#2: Always leave room for the dog to walk away from you.
---that right there is 90+% of dog bites eliminated---
#3: We do not climb on the dog.
#4: We do not grab or pull on the dog.
#5: We do not hit or throw anything at the dog.
#6: We do not touch the dog's food.
#7: We do not go into the dog's kennel.

I promise these are not overly difficult concepts for littles, nor will they rob a kid of their bond with the family dog. It will deepen that bond, while keeping everyone safe.

"Oh, it looks like Moose is walking away from you. She is saying she wants a break. Let's play with this instead!"

"It's Moose's dinner time! Let's give her space to enjoy her yummies."

"That is Moose's room(kennel) and only she is allowed to go in there."

"If Moose wanted a break, could she walk away from you right now? No she really couldn't. Let's move away from the play house. You can keep playing but now she can leave when she wants a break."

In conclusion, ***parent your child or your dog will do it for you, and you will not like how they do it.***

Another day at the dog show! This time we are in Aiken, SC for the Carolina Dog Society show! Another successful day at that! Chevy won 2 x Best of Breed wins, a Group 2 in show 1 and a Group 4 in show 2! He also won his Grand Championship in UKC! Mercy won the Champions class in show 2 for another leg towards her Grand and two qualifying runs in Precision Coursing towards her RACEN title and earned a Total Dog for a Regional Qualification!

Opal earned two qualifying runs in Precision Coursing and showed beautifully for Jillian! Her sister, Harper, came out to run in Precision Coursing and earned her first two qualifying runs towards her RACEN title!

Secret went Reserve in both Champions classes under her mama Jennifer’s handling! Secret also went into the Juniors ring with Jillian and they both showed beautifully going Best Junior in Show 2! They also have two qualifying runs which earned them a Total Junior! That’s when a Junior handler competes and wins in both sports and conformation, proving that both dog and handler can do it all!

The puppies both showed out remarkably for their first day of conformation! Ace won his class but ultimately lost to his sister Epic, but they did not make it easy for the judges today! Epic went on to Puppy Best In Show and what do you know? She won in show 2! It is my absolute pleasure to introduce her as BPIS Opalina N Brickett’s Legends Never Die! And Chevy can now be called GCHG CH UGRCH UCH Shanajen’s Like A Rock DCAT!

As a bonus, Secret’s brother, Conway, was also here and picked up 40 points and two competition wins towards his Championship with his handler and owner, Marindi! She also brought her girl, Loretta, who won her class and WB for a total of 30 points towards her Championship! It was so nice to see so many Opalina Cockers at the same show! We had a great time!

We had two amazing weekends in UKC with this guy! Chevy is half a leg from his Grand Championship with most of his legs coming from Best In Show and Reserve Best In Show wins! He is absolutely an amazing dog with an incredible drive to work! Not only that, but his many Best Veteran and Reserve Best Veteran wins make me the most proud! Despite being 7 years young, he still moves better than some of these young guns!

GCHG CH UCH Shanajen’s Like A Rock BCAT is now

Multi Best In Show winner!
Multi Group winning!
Multi Best Veteran In Show!
And 2x Reserve Best Veteran In Show!

He finished his Championship in style going Best In Show in Show 1 on Saturday under Judge Patrick O’Donnell! But Chevy wasn’t done! He ended the weekend with 3 Best In Show wins, 3 Best Veteran In Show wins, and a Reserve Best Veteran In Show! This gave him an excellent start towards his Grand Championship! Way to go, my beautiful brown boy! 🤎🧡

I’m a little late in posting this, but last weekend we had a lot to celebrate! Saturday morning we were at the IABCA-International All Breed Canine Assoc., Inc. show here in Lawrenceville, GA to debut Sassy and Rumor owned and loved by Lani Wright at Huntcrest Cockers and myself. Sassy is a daughter of Kaido and Mercy’s half sister, Ruby, so she is part of the family! Both Sassy and Rumor earned their first titles at this show! Rumor earned his International Championship with 4 V-1 ratings and 4 Best of Breed Wins. Sassy won her International and National Junior Championship titles, 4 Best of Breed Puppy, a Puppy Group 1 and Group 3! Then, we had an awards ceremony at Tidewater Kennel Club to recognize the accomplishments of our members for 2024. The teams that earned a title all received plaques to honor their accomplishments. I put titles on five dogs, which is all of them 😂

Pup-date from Conway, formerly 🧡Hush🧡 from my Something To Talk About litter! Whisper x Koda

Look at that face! What a happy boy! He’s so proud of his stick! Conway is a solid black sable just like his sire.

Chevy, Mercy, Opal, Whisper, and Kaido
