Another NOHS Question

If a professional handler who has been breeding a certain breed for many, many years; whose dogs are whelped in his bedroom, raised with his family, and are shown by him; is not eligible to compete with his own dogs in the NOHS, how is it that an AKC Judge is allowed to compete in NOHS? 

THINGS THAT MAKE YOU GO HMMM….

I think the heat is taking a toll on Dave.  Varias showed very well and got totally dumped.  Taffy did great, but the rest of them are pretty much flipping Dave off and wanting back in the air conditioned motorhome! 90 degrees and humid 2 days in a row.  I would be locking myself in the motorhome and not coming out.  Tomorrow cooler though:  ONLY FORECAST TO BE 88 !!!  Rain will be starting late with rain all day on Monday. :(

#5 (yes, that's her name - That's Classic Chanel at Mendota) First time in the ring, Winners Bitch, Best of Winners, Best Puppy, and a Puppy Group 1. 

I will miss him...

OK, so you know I'm not a big-dog person, 
and I'm not a shedding-dog person 
(I know I have Dudley.  Don't remind me!) 

But I am really going to miss this big teenage goof - Stevie.  
He is a beautiful Doberman puppy who has been with us for several months, as just a layover.  What a loveable dork. 

He is off to his new home today.   I love the photo of him in front of his crate.  Look at the shadow of his rear.  Awesome.

Central Oklahoma Toy Dog Club, Sunday May 22, 2016 Oklahoma City, OK

OK, SO I WAS HORRIBLY MISINFORMED!!!!
My apologies to Mr. Forte!!!

The text that Dave sent said the following: 
Milo
Quiz
Taffy 
Piper  
zip
What would you think he meant?  
My response was 'Shoot! That sucks.  Well at least Taffy got a BISS.  Be careful driving'  
He didn't say anything else until now when he just called!

Evidently his text did not all come through. 
It was supposed to say:
Milo BOB
Quiz WD & BOW
Taffy BOS
Piper 2nd (zip for points)
(so now I get the order of the names)


So…I the usual format...

Charlotte is a Booty x Apollo daughter.  We would expect no less from a Desi & Zeus Grandkid.

A THANK YOU and an APOLOGY

I want to THANK everyone who has done so well with puppies that they have gotten from us.  Dave and I are thrilled with your every win, (Yes, even when you beat us) and could not be more proud.  So many of you have done so much, and I hope have enjoyed the ride. 

I want to APOLOGIZE for those times, which I am sure exist but hope have been very few and far between, when we might have missed an opportunity to congratulate you on a win, or reaching a milestone, or just a chance to give you moral support when you needed it.

Several years ago, we went through a situation with breeders who did whatever they could to 'bad mouth' us, especially when we won.  The problem:  our pup would beat his parents. 

That should be NO PROBLEM, for a breeder since the entire purpose of breeding is to breed better than you have and that is what they did - multiple times.  They just couldn't see it.  It was sad. 

They did what a good breeder is supposed to do.  Produce better dogs, and all they could see was that they were not winning with the parents.

OK, no you are asking yourself, why you are wasting time reading this, and why is she rambling?  I am very sad about a breeder & co-owner who cannot bring himself to congratulate us on some major wins.  Not even one like on any of the photos, brags, or ads that are on facebook. 

What he doesn't get is, just like the aforementioned breeder, all we are doing is having fun winning and advertising THEIR breeding program.  People can't buy a puppy from us.  We only have a male.  Who are they going to go to for a puppy like ours? 

OUR BREEDERS!!!!  Did we piss them off by winning?  I guess so.
