Good morning all!

It's time to play a little catch up after a long and crazy five day show "weekend" that ran from Wednesday to Sunday. Phew. I'm *still* tired!!!

Photos will follow later, but here are a few success stories to start with:

First, we have handling class students Sandy Phifer and her Samoyed, Tiia. Tiia was chosen as Winners Bitch on Thursday and Friday last week at Hatboro Kennel Club's shows in Macungie, and earned her first two points toward her championship. Congratulations!

Next up are Pat Lyons and her Irish Setter, Penny. Penny was chosen as Reserve Winners Bitch in the Irish Setter Specialty show last Friday. Way to go Pat and Penny!

Now it's time for a couple of terriers, since the Montgomery County Kennel Club show (held in our neck of the woods) is *still* the largest all-terrier show in the world.

Linda McCutcheon and her Norwich Terriers did very well on Sunday. Luke (who finished his championship recently) received an Award of Merit and DiDi was chosen Reserve Winners Bitch--for a three point major--in an amazing group of Norwich Terriers. Winning anything at Montgomery is a big deal, but Linda, Luke, and DiDi knocked it out of the park!

More to follow as results are reported in. Stay tuned.

Today's pupdate features Skye (Sanmann's Summer Skye), who is one of Allie's pups (born 5-29-85). She's growing into quite the lovely young lady, don't you think?

Continuing in the theme of "how are those fluffy pups now?" we present Cookie (Sanmann’s Sugar Cookie, one of Lucy's pups born on 1/2/2025) with her bestie Indy (Sanmann’s Indiana, one of Gracie's pups born on 6/15/2016).

We have it on good authority that they are wonderful friends who play together constantly and always sleep right next to each other. Jennyann (their human) thinks sometimes Indy misses being the only dog 🤣, but probably the other 99% of the time Indy seems pretty happy to have a buddy.

Congratulations to handling class students Banner (Mastiff) and Tim. At Macungie last weekend Banner was awarded First prize, Winners dog, Best of opposite s*x.

On Sunday, Banner was awarded First prize, Winners dog, Best of breed, Best of breed owner handler, Best of winners.

The attached photo that includes Banner is from a recent photo shoot for the upcoming National Dog Show.

Today's pupdate is a triple-header featuring Annie (Gracie's pup, born 9/21/2018, Murphy (Prix's pup born 1/21/2022), and Brodie
(Lucy's pup born 1/2/2025).

Brodie’s doing great, but can be a pesty little brother sometimes. But they love him and tolerate his puppy nonsense. He’s very sweet and is going to make a great therapy dog!!!

Thanks for the photos Tim!

Today, we congratulate handling class members Enzo (Lagotto Romanolo) and Diane on their recent successes in the show ring.

They went to Ohio in July, where Diane handled him and won BOS for several GCH points, as well as a Group 4 OH placement.

Then in Doswell (Virginia), Enzo recently had a very big weekend: he earned his Grand Championship title and went BOS for a 4 point major on Thursday; on Friday, he was BOB (defeating the #3 ranked Lagotto in the country for a 5 point major) and Group 3; and, on Saturday, was BOB again for a 3 point major!

Good job to Team Enzo!!!!
