Black Russian Terriers

VARIAS - Best of Breed & Group 3

Thank You Breed & Group Judge Nancy Amburgey

Havanese Gallery

This isn't a matter of NATIONAL SECURITY!  
It's dog ownership for gosh sakes!!!

I was just looking at the Havanese Gallery, for a specific dog.  I couldn't remember his entire registered name so typed in one of the words that I knew for sure.  He didn't come up, but 9 others did with that same breeding/breeder/owner etc.  Some of those had the owner listed as 'PRIVATE'  -  Really???  Do you think it makes you seem important?  "Ooohhh!  It's private.  They must be somebody important, that they can't publish their name!"  

It's not that hard to find out.  Are you embarrassed that you own the dog?  Did you buy the dog under questionable circumstances?  As they say "IT'S A SMALL, SMALL, WORLD"  Everyone probably already knows it anyway.

HAVANESE PUPPIES !!!!

OK, SO WE HAVE BEEN HOLDING BACK….

A few people know about the litters we have bred and/or co-bred over the last 6 months, but we really haven't spread it around much.  We have had some show people interested in, and looking for, specific show puppies from our breeding.  We have allowed those people to choose their puppies, guided by Dave, of course, but we are now unveiling the rest of the crew.  I want to say that these are "Our picks of the litters" however, they are all too nice, and it is hard to decide.  You choose and let Dave know which one you want!

Watch the next few posts for Havanese Puppy Updates!!!

Watch for upcoming blog on "What Makes a Breeder-Judge"

If you want add your 2 cents worth, click on where it says 'comments' or 'no comments' (because that just means there aren't any yet.)  Is it how many litters?  How many champions?  How many BIG wins?  Your impact on the breed?  But how is THAT measured?

Select Bitch & Award of Merit - Specialty Havanese Owners & Lovers Association
November 27, 2015


Taffy should have had the breed.  Long story, confused judge, doubting himself, ran her around the ring with several dogs, including Bugs, then called out the first bitch that he moved around with her, and gave them BOB!!!  He told Dave that "If she had only had more expression on that last time around"  WTF?!?!  Her expression was probably, "Make up your freakin' mind, I have never had to move around the ring this many times!"  Poor Dave, his knee has hurt ever since.  THEN…After the bitch who had been resting this whole time was awarded BOB, the judge turned to Dave to give Taffy Best of Opposite.  Dave, said "No, that one is a bitch."  The judge looked confused as if he thought that the BOB was a male, then didn't know what to do.  Since Bugs had been out there most of that time, he was given BOS, then Taffy got SELECT AND AWARD of MERIT.  Didn't quite get that, and it took an award away from another dog.  But, as they say, "It is what it is." 

Note to photographer:  Don't quite get the podium either.  At first glance, I thought they were standing on a casket!
