Jack's big travel adventure. "Jack" went to his new home yesterday. After a full vet check and neuter, he crossed a few state lines to his new family in Arkansas.

Thank you to our local Animal Control officer, Jerry, for his care and communication in getting Jack situated.

Looks like Jack has found his new home! Thank you everyone for the shares.

Let's talk Chips...
Yesterday, I got a phone call from HomeAgain Pet Recovery. This is the microchip company that I use for all of my puppies.

I had a minute of panic thinking one of the pups was lost. Because that is how microchips work. When a dog is found, and it has a chip, they contact the person who has the chip registered. More on that in a minute...

The Microchip company makes the information available to Vets and Shelters. This is why your
1. Breeder chips the pups before they leave for their new homes.
2. Breeder put their name and contact info on the record.
3. Chip number can be added to the AKC registration record for the permanent ID of the dog.
4. Breeder will keep those records forever!
5. Owners should make sure they update their info with the chip company.
6. Vets check periodically to make sure the chip is still in place.

As it turned out, the the call was a request from the owner who was updating the contact information and transferring the authorization to himself. This is the best case for the breeder, owner, and for your pup.

I will always make every attempt to contact my puppy owners, but…
1. I may not have current contact information.
2. I am not local.
3. I am also not the owner of the dog for medical purposes.

Breeders do this to protect the pups. It is not a “control thing”, or an “ownership thing”. We want you to transfer the chip, and to keep your info updated with the chip company. Even though they are yours now, they were ours first, and are very important to us.

We will always make ourselves available when needed for any of our pups.

You should have your chip number in your puppy packet. If you need the number, contact me. To change registration information go to https://www.homeagain.com/ .

Squeeking in under the wire, at his last show in Hutchinson, Kai made his AKC "Puppy of Achievement". He is doing really well, for a young one. Farm Dog, Fetch Novice, 2 legs towards Rally Novice, and a few points in the show ring.

Need to get some competition to come on down to Kansas. Topeka is in August the week before Nationals in Ohio. 😉😉

We had a weekend at the Sunflower Cluster in Hutchinson, KS. Thank you to the clubs that put on a great show every year in Central Kansas. Hutchinson Kennel Club, Salina Kennel Club, Wichita Kennels Club, and the Wichita Dog Training Club.

We did conformation all 4 days, and managed a Best of Winners on Sunday. Tried our hand at Rally for 2 days, and managed a 96, and 94. So 2 legs down!

Kai did very well for a young dog, lots of car time, lots of waiting, and he even got used to the pop-up crate.

It was great to see everyone from neighboring states come to visit.

Have you ever wondered why the minimum age for hip and elbow clearances is 24 months?
OFA hip and elbow clearances look at the conformation of the joints to evaluate if there are any deformities or evidence of disease. While preliminary results are generally reliable, the accuracy of the final grade and the ability to diagnose hip dysplasia increases at 24 months of age. Degenerative arthritic changes secondary to hip or elbow dysplasia can take time to appear on radiographs, especially mild cases. The 24 month mark has been shown to be reliable for diagnosis because it ensures growth is complete and allows for degenerative changes to be seen. This age is also still young enough to allow breeders and owners to make informed decisions for the dog's future.

Getting to the “tall and a little leggy” stage. This is a rare moment of the not wrestling.

It is official, The last two have names and completed Registration.

Miss Pink is “Eska Creeks SheComes By it Honest”, an ode to her familial personality traits, like Mom and like Grandma.

Mr Ranger is “Eska Creek Sand Springs Hooray for Hollywood”. Call names for both still in flux. There are a few, just not really clicking.

Big Day at the Vets Office, Last puppy shots for the 2 littles, Heartworm test/shot for the Big girls.

Old girl, Lacy may need to go on a slim down... She more "Fluffy" than normal.

The good news is we should be done for a while, the bad news is now I need a new excuse to stop by Flyin' 3 Veterinary Service.

Outside play with Ranger.
