Thank you to Julie and David for what they have done with Cowboy!  They were able to go home with two very nice Rosettes!

Puppy Bono was nice enough to pose for me.  He was all elbows, knees and ears but I was able to save three photos of this pony boy.

They are always playing and truly enjoy hanging out together.

Miss Brooklyn is owned by Jay and Kristen who have just welcomed their first baby into the family. Brooklyn will be with us for a few months. We’ll be taking a good hard looking at breeding this beautiful bitch who looks a lot like her daddy Socks. Enjoy!

Funny how history repeats itself?

“Ok, I had some coffee [but no toast yet] when I read a post from yesterday that started me thinking………..[yes, cue the music....but nothing from the Sound of Music]
What are those repeated subjects that send people off on the email flaming/hurricane wars – not just this Belgian lists but other groups as well [but especially with Belgians]?
My picks but not necessarily in order of rank:

1. Raw vs kibble [my dogs coats/teeth are better than yours, I've raised many litters on this/that, raw is guesswork...........]
2. Protection type sports [don't understand/get it, our breed was meant to do this, I don't want my dog to want to bite children]
3. “Show” vs. “working” lines [which often leads to number 4 and often meanders into "What is the standard, screw the standard"]
4. Our Belgian temperaments
5. New age vs. traditional training [Clicker, yank and spank, negative reinforcement/negative punishment, e-collars]
6. Shampoos, coat types
7. Bad breeder, good breeder
8. AKC ‘good’, AKC ’sucks’
9. Pro vs. amateur handling and handlers, “Biased” judges and favoritism
10. Brags [you're bragging about that?, no one replied to my brag with congrats, I wouldn't brag about that, he/she's always bragging]
11. PETA! and animal rights, legislation
12. Where will my dog go, when I finally go?
13. stupid emails such as this…………

**14. Health checks, clearances, interpretations i.e. OFA [new to 2010]
………..Gotta get more coffee…..

They will just stand there, waiting for the other to do something. They will not make a sound or move a muscle. Its bizarre.

He’s grown into a nice pup with the sweetest temperament – although, he himself will admit that he is spoiled. ENJOY!

They end up covered in spit, tired and happy. What else is there for puppies to do?
