I wonder if our Facebook 'friend' would get this?

All it would take is a minute or two to think about things 

before you do this….

Offensive to some, Hilarious to the rest of us.

Especially those of us with bigger 'speakers'

What a handsome boy! Not Available Havanese Puppy

Dave loves this boy!  OK, we love these litters, but are NOT keeping them all.  This boy has stolen Dave's heart.  He is out of Keisha & Bugs.  Born November 5, 2014.

Help us name this boy too!!!

This is only part of the whole video but there is a low limit on MBs on videos that I can post here.  The full length video is available on Dave's facebook page.  https://www.facebook.com/david.scheiris

Pry these Havanese Puppies out of Dave's Hands

Dave is in love with a beautiful gold sable bitch out of Choco x Desi.  and with a dark gold sable and white boy out of Keisha (Selena's sister) and Bugs.

The entire videos are too large for this blog, so you'll have to check them out on Dave's facebook page if you want more puppy fix.

Still thinking about a name for her:

KANSAS CITY SHOWS...OFF THE GRID

I WAS KIDNAPPED!!!  

Forced to stay in the motorhome with my husband at the KC dog shows.  Can you believe it!!!!????  He already had one Darlene staying with him, but he was selfish and wanted two!

No internet and my phone had a spaz-attack, and didn't know what day or time it was (yes, just like me!)  Said 'unable to connect call' yet I guess some people still heard me 'chatting' with the darn thing. 

It wasn't a bad show weekend though, took home lots of ribbons and points, although none of those really big ribbons.  Only three breeds to show but lots of ring conflicts.  Saw some old friends, made some new ones, pissed off some people (but I guess it wouldn't be a dog show with me if that didn't happen), and found how how big of Kahunas one guy had, still shaking my head over that one.  
Some people never cease to amaze. 

I will dig through the memory banks and post all of the results that I can remember.  

HOPE YOU ALL HAD A FABULOUS WEEKEND!!!

Bichon Frise Nurple - Westminster Award of Merit

Nurple's photo with Judge James Reynolds arrived this week.

I did find it odd that no ribbons were given for Award of Merit.  We did received a small, boxed, medallion engraved with the Westminster Kennel Club logo on one side and "Award of Merit 2015" on the other though!

Thank You again Judge Reynolds for appreciating our great moving boy!

CRUFTS BEST IN SHOW HANDLING CONTROVERSY - 2015

CRUFTS BIS HANDLING CONTROVERSY...

I am not positive where I stand on this but am leaning towards it being THE JUDGE'S CALL.  To me it falls into the same category as a breed standard calling for, or a judge telling you to show on a loose lead, then rewarding the dogs who are strung up so tight that their front feet don't touch the ground.  If the ring belongs to the judge, and the judge works for The Kennel Club, then the judge should have been informed by The Kennel Club of the handling restrictions/requirements/prohibitions etc.  Unless the clubs are going to take away from the authority of the judge in the ring and place a referee in the ring to catch things that are happening when the judge is looking elsewhere, and there is an 'instant recall' video feature, we have to leave the judging and awarding of ribbons or disqualifications up to that judge.  After all isn't that why the clubs hire them and we enter under them? 

I witnessed a judge DQ a purple/blue dog this past weekend.  BRAVO TO HIM!!!  Not even in the grandest old-lady hair colors was this natural to any living, breathing creature.  A flower maybe, but a warm blooded critter, definitely not!

We have all seen things happen in the ring that were not right, whether it was handling 'technique' or hitting of a dog, or a dog who actually bit his owner (and drew blood-yes in the ring) but I, for one, was told by and AKC rep that the judge had to see it for anything to be done about it. 

I have been wanting to write something about a HORRIFYING action that I saw when boarding one of the shuttles in NYC getting ready to go to the Piers this year.  A woman with a Newfy and short-woman syndrome literally punched her dog in the head.  The dog was not misbehaving, he barely reacted to another dog, a Portie I believe, that made a somewhat aggressive move towards him.  The Newfy evidently had enough of a reaction to startle the owner/handler so she punched him in the head.  Not a little tap, or a swat as a minor correction, but A FULL FISTED PUNCH!!!  Then she did it again!  It took a minute for me to realize what I had just witnessed, and when she drew her arm back, hand clenched into a fist, for the third time, I yelled at her to stop.  I told her she had better not hit that dog again, or she would be dealing with more than just me.  I was the only one, of all the people boarding that bus, who said anything. 

And now with the poisoning and BIS handling controversy at Cruft's, no wonder people have the wrong idea about show dogs and show people.   

However, it wasn't the wrong idea about that woman.  I wouldn't want to be a show dog with that owner either.
