La Perla Bouviers of Scottsdale, AZ

GCHS CH Quiche's Major League (aka Baby Lars) just won the herding group at the Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show! Congratulations Louise Paquette! We're rooting for you to take Best in Show tonight!

Did you know that Bouviers can run up to 30 mph? It’s true! Their speed, agility, and intelligence help them excel at many sports and activities.
Here is Bruno (La Perla’s 24 Karat Magic HCT TKI) enjoying one of his favorite pastimes - fetching his ball. 😊

‘Twas the night before Christmas, and all through the house,
Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse.
The stockings were hung by the chimney with care,
In hopes that Saint Nicholas soon would be there.
My dogs, they were nestled all snug in my bed,
While visions of chewy toys danced in their heads.
When up on the roof there arose such a clatter,
I sprang from my chair to see what was the matter.
Off to the window I flew like a flash,
Tore open the shutter then threw up the sash.
The moon on the crest of the new fallen snow
Gave a luster of midday to objects below.
And what to my wondering eyes should appear,
But a miniature sleigh and eight tiny reindeer.
With a little old driver so lively and quick,
I knew in a moment it must be St. Nick.
With a sputter of ashes and flurry of soot,
He slid down the chimney with all of his loot.
My precious dogs stood there, so regal and proud,
Guarding their home with their barks oh so loud.
St. Nick showed no fear, and he called them by name;
He knew in his heart they were gentle and tame.
He brought out his list, began checking it twice.
“My beauties, I see that all year you’ve been nice.
“I have in my bag many toys and much more.
Please tell me, you puppies, what you’re longing for.”
My dogs talked to each other — much to my surprise —
And then turned to Santa with tears in their eyes.
“We have chewies and balls and ropes to be tugged.
We are pampered and coddled and petted and hugged.
But for Christmas, dear Santa, we have but one care:
That all dogs be loved just as much as we are.
“We want no dog beaten, no dog whipped or chained.
We want no dog abused, abandoned, or maimed.
We want that all dogs, no matter what size,
See true love reflected in their masters’ eyes.”
St. Nick paused for a moment to gather his wits.
“I cannot stop humans from being such twits.
All dogs are so beautiful and such a treasure.
They just want to be loved and to give humans pleasure.
“This is a bright lesson I will try to teach.
And maybe your wish will be within my reach.”
St. Nick then turned to me, his face wet with tears:
“Be proud of your babies. They all are such dears.”
He planted a kiss on each beautiful head:
“Now you gentle giants, go right off to bed.
Think only good thoughts, and dream only good dreams
Of running and jumping and playing in streams.”
In an instant, St. Nick disappeared in a p**f,
And I heard him laugh loudly up there on the roof.
He jumped in his sleigh, to his team gave a whistle,
And off he then flew like the down on a thistle.
And I heard him exclaim as he drove out of sight,
“Merry Christmas to All, and to Dogs a Good Life!”

Merry Christmas from Bruno (pictured), Tigger, Daisy, and Khaleesi! 🎄🍪🥛🎅🏻🐶

This girl is an absolute hoot 😂 None of these bowls are hers, but she wants to make sure she’s ready when the food comes. Khaleesi is a total joy and we’re so grateful to have added her to the La Perla pack! 😁❤️

Bruno (La Perla’s 24 Karat Magic HCT TKI) received his Intermediate Trick Dog title earlier this month, and we also received our new license plate! We still can’t believe it was available lol!

We are extremely proud of one of our Scottsdale La Perla Bouviers, HTCH La Perla's Genevieve Am HSAd HSAsM HIAsM CGC.

Genevieve made Elite status for the Bouvier Top 20 at the 2018 Nationals. She took 2nd, and 5th in advanced sheep. This is her second year with an HX, and Cathy Sumeracki (her trainer and handler), along with owners Mark and Mary Sloane, hope to make it a third.

Evie is also only the 3rd Bouvier in history to reach the Elite Herding title.

Genevieve is bred by Pam Garrey of La Perla Bouviers in Scottsdale, AZ and Mary Alice Bushy of Desert Sage in Tucson, AZ.

Lots of fun with the puppies this weekend! I have tons of videos to post later, but I wanted to share a few photos! I also realized that I hadn’t shared their names! We decided this was going to be our ‘Justified’ litter, so the boys are: Raylan, Boyd, Crowder, Lewis, and the girl is, of course, Ava! 😊

Happy Saturday everyone! Just wanted to share some pictures of the puppies! We are still in the process of deciding where each of the puppies will go, but I promise we’ll let everyone know as soon as possible!! 😊 Thanks everyone!
