With a short-notice day off, Tandy braved the heat and attended the Tuscarawas County Coonhunters Club show today for some ring experience.

She handled beautifully, remained calm and happy throughout, relaxed in front of her fan in between classes, had some (dog-safe!) popsicles and really seemed to enjoy herself. The look on her face during the hands-on exam is so pure and happy. This show is always a good time, with great people and some amazing dogs in the line ups.

In both shows, she was awarded a Class First, Best Female, Best of Breed and a Guardian Group 2 , earning her final competition win needed for her first title. Now she just needs the remaining 20 points to finish.

Many thanks to both judges for finding her in your Group, to 3Rivers Photos To Go for her photo, and to the TCCHC for a wonderful day!

Yesterday we had a (dual!) Birthday in the house! Please join us in wishing the Double Trouble Team a very Happy Birthday!

Wasabi and Sushi (Orca x Rommy, 2021) turn four today!

Sushi came to us first, and was picked from her litter at about 6 weeks old. We had been watching her and two of her sisters grow up, and she caught my eye from some of the very first stacked photos that were sent. She has a "LOOK AT ME" quality that just stands out. When we met her, her funny and sweet little personality won me over almost immediately.

Now enter Wasabi. He came to us with his sister Sushi, and he was completely unplanned and unexpected, Sushi was the planned one. But he was such a personable, funny, sweet, quiet little puppy, that he stayed. Because you can't have Sushi without a little Wasabi, right?

He has proven time and time again to be intelligent, soft, sensitive, intuitive and willing to work. He is polite, patient and quiet in hotels and stores, and is usually all business while traveling, to the point where is it sometimes difficult to entice him to play away from home; he thinks he should be working (Ah, Working /Guardian breeds!) He is never far from my side, even during playtime outside he remains near and checks in frequently. He has a way of understanding what I need before I realize that I need it. He does his job wonderfully and loves doing it.

Sushi, she is a bit of a firecracker, if firecrackers come in sweet. She is more demanding of her wants and needs and isn't afraid to let you know she wants what she wants, now. She is polite, intelligent, curious about everything and will be one of the first to stick her beak someplace she shouldn't. She is independent, as long as you are next to her. She is sassy and silly, but wise beyond her years at the same time. Where her brother is soft, she is strong like her momma. Where he is patient, she is not quite so much. Always ready to play or snuggle, and usually the first up when your feet hit the floor to see where we are going or what we are doing next.

There have been so many signs, so many unplanned events, so many small, inconsequential things that have all led to making me believe that for whatever reasons unknown, some things are just truly meant to be. They are both proving the lesson that room can be made in a broken heart for healing and to accept that much more love that is being freely given. He has a way of when he is looking at you, he can see right through you, and into your soul; she has a way of just knowing how you are feeling and adjusts herself accordingly, whether it's random antics to make you laugh, or quietly curling up in your lap to hug and cuddle. Their temperaments are truly everything we are looking for in a Dane, and they have proven themselves out in the ring as they grow, with both earning their first titles, and plans to try to earn some more. Sushi will now be showing in the UKC Altered category,as she was spayed but still enjoys the outings, while Sabi will be attending in the Champion classes.

They are so similar, and so different at the same time, and a true lesson in genetics and how not only structure is passed along but how temperament is as well. We can't be more thankful to have them in our lives. and are thankful to Steph Dixon for allowing us the opportunity with them, and put vet team Colegate Woods Veterinary Hospital for helping us keep them happy and healthy.

1 year ago, we were at Maudie's first dog show, in the unlicensed puppy match at 14 weeks old, where she took 1 Best Puppy in Show and one Reserve Best Puppy in Show.

Today, her littermate sister Tandy (purple collar) attended her first ever show, at 15 months old, and boy did this girl perform beautifully, and without much practice time.

Tandy attended the Carnation City Kennel Club today. In Show 1, under Judge Janet Emery, she was awarded a class First, a Best Female, a Best of Winners, and a Best of Breed and then she got to experience the Guardian Group ring with an outstanding lineup of Breed representatives. For her first time out, she handled wonderfully. Somewhat unsure of her self, which is to be expected, but willing, calm, happy and wagging.

In Show 2, under Judge Kerry Leonard, she blew my mind and out did herself and was awarded a class First, a Best Female, a Best of Winners, a Best of Breed, and a Group First, and she took me to the Best in Show ring for the first time. While she did not place in the Best In Show, she handled wonderfully and it was an honor to be in the ring with such a fantastic lineup of dogs.

Many thanks to both Judges today for finding her in your classes, for 3 Rivers Photos for her first ever win pic and letting her climb on and off your podium throughout the day, and a huge shout-out to Katherine Szabo Warner for saving us a spot inside out of the rain and for cheering us on(and congratulations to you on your boy's new titles!) and to Steph Dixon, who bred her momma Casiri, and gave us the opportunity with her. Without you, today never would have happened!

1 show day, 2 shows and this girl is more than halfway to her first title. Her future is definitely bright! Her temperament is phenomenal and she tries her heart out for you, every time.

Enjoy the bonus pic of the disbelief on my face when we were awarded the Group 1 😂

Although they are not required tests for the breed, we do them anyway, for some simple peace of mind and the more we know the better choices we can make in the future.

Pupdate!
Guess who's back? Last week we picked up Roki (Freddie, orange collar and the only boy, Kickin' It Classic Litter, 02/02/24) and brought him back to be reunited with his momma and a few of his sisters, due to no fault of his own or his owner. We highly commend his owner for making the so difficult decision to return him, and for reaching out to us. We know it isn't easy, but it truly was the best thing for all involved. We are thankful he was so loved and so well taken care of over this past year. 💚

He is settling in well, and undergoing evaluation and some training, and is doing wonderfully. He gets along great with our neutered male Doberman and all the girls in the house, loves the cats, sometimes a bit exuberantly, but the cats tolerate him and will correct him if he gets too rough. He has been relearning some boundaries with mom Casiri and Aunties Orca and Irma, and has been working hard on both crate and kennel training as well as basic obedience and leash work.

This guy is massive, at about 36+" tall at just a year old (still learning to stand for measuring). We are unsure of how much he weighs, but will be getting a weight today on him.

We will be beginning some short out of the house trips to build some confidence and some training.

He is unable to play with 2 his sisters right now, as they are in their first heat cycle, but he has been playing with Tandy and they get along phenomenally. She, unfortunately, has, as of 2 days ago, started her first heat cycle as well, so she is now off limits for a few weeks. He has played with Alice a bit and is gaining confidence with her. She plays super fast and he was a bit anxious over that at first.

Welcome back, Roki/Freddie!
(He will be available for rehoming after evaluation. Firm neuter contract and return contracts in place, as well as an obedience class. If interested, please message us for an application).

It's begun! Miss Maudie visited our wonderful vet team this evening and has officially begun her OFA testing process, passing her Basic Cardiac, Dentition and Patella exams. She was a social butterfly, said hi to all, waited patiently for her turn, worked on long downs, weighed in at 116 # and got a lot of love and hugs (and cookies) during her visit.

We received Maudie's new title pic from the IABCA-International All Breed Canine Assoc., Inc. show and cannot be happier with it. Many thanks to SVK Photography for a great photo, and being so easy to work with.

This photo brings on a myriad of emotion.

No, she is not perfectly stacked, that was intentional on my part (the photographer did point it out and gave the opportunity to correct it, but I declined). I wanted to capture her as she is, in the puppy uglies. Rear high, and steep, somewhat down in the pasterns, chest not dropped yet. These are all things that will change and correct as she continues to grow and mature, all perfectly normal for a 12 month old puppy. Her win pics are a prpgessive series in her growth, and I love seeing the changes when you put the pics in a line)

This is the first photo where you can truly see the glimpses of the adult she will be. So happy and excited for her future, but also sad because 'where did my puppy go?' She's one of the slowest growers in the litter, yet she is growing up so fast.

Happy, because she had a somewhat rough weekend in a stranger- danger fear stage, that happened at random times off and on throughout the weekend, but she recovered well and did her job and managed a new adult title and some great feedback from the judges. Her happy temperament is a dream and she was just being a puppy. This pic is a great reminder that just because they are big, they are not adults or mature, and bumps in the road are to be expected. (Again, where did my baby go?😂)

We have a new title in the house!

Miss Maudie attended the 2025 IABCA Buckeye Winter Sieger this weekend. She is struggling slightly in a stranger-danger fear stage, but held it together enough to work through it and earn her International Champion title with the IABCA.

So proud of this girl, she truly has the perfect temperament; stays soft and sweet and tries her heart out in everything she does.

Unfortunately, no class pics from the weekend, just a few candids. Her title certificates and official win photo will arrive in the mail in a few weeks. We received some wonderful feedback from the judges, are thankful they can see the potential theough the 'puppy-uglies' and are looking forward to her future.

She can now be known as UCH INTCH INTCHJR NATCHJR HNSCHJR Harbinger Of All Things Wise And Wonderful.
