One of the hardest part of raising puppies is letting them go to their new homes. And when it’s a singleton who has had your undivided attention for over 5 months, it is really sad to let them go.

But fortunately Mr. Remy (Lagniappe’s Je Ne Sais Quoi) is off to the best possible home with Alex and Tom in Toronto. And he’ll have Mia and his aunt Alice to keep him in line (which he definitely needs).

Our "little" boy George went to the Gonzales shows and was awarded Reserve, Winners Dog (twice), and Best of Winners (three times and all for majors) over the six shows. Pending AKC confirmation he is now a finished champion! 🏆

The working groups were tough with so many #1 working dogs (Dane, Boxer, Corso, Dogo, etc.) at these shows. Not much success in the groups until the last day when Rye won the working group specialty!
