Liquorice - Turns 13 years YOUNG!

I just wanted to wish my girl Liquorice - Ch. OTCh. Beachcombers Liquroice CD (Am), CGC, CGN, RD, RE, TC.  Today she turns 13 years young and is truly young at heart.  She loves her food, and outdoor play.  In 2010 she was #1 Dalmatian in Canada for Obedience for the second time in her life.  She had many first for me in her show, conformation, obedience and road trials and just this year is retired from competition. 

When I bought my puppy 13 years ago, little did I know where it would lead me.  Most importantly, it gave me some important friendships.  The most treasured would be with friend and mentor Bertha Little who is Liquorice's breeder.  

Today I can only say - Happy Birthday girl and thank you Bertha for giving me such a sound, healthy and amazing Dalmatian.  She is pictured here in the sun room on her Birthday. 

Another Championship for Miley!

Laurie Isaacson called this week to tell me that Miley had finished her UK CH as well for Miley.  Miley now has her AKC, INT, UKC Championships.  Congratulations Miley and Laurie.

Off to Chicago to visit Flash

Liza and I are booked to go to Toronto at the end of the week.  From then we will drive down to Chicago for Liza to meet Darleen and Flash.   Alida and Fern will miss her, but she won't be gone long.

Happy Valentines Day

Wind, Rain, Snow - Let's Travel

It is a very windy day here today and dog class is cancelled, so my daughter thought she would escape from it all by reading the travel section of the Globe and Mail.  Liza says she want's to fly to Chicago to meet her friend Flash, but Alida had a beach in mind with some sun and sand.

Liza is home in Newfoundland

We are very excited to have Liza back home with us.  She gave me a full body hug when she came out of the kennel at the airport.  I am sure that there will be photos in the next few days.  Thanks again to Linda McCartney-Roy for not only finishing her American Championship but put also getting Liza well on the way to her Grand Championship.

American Championship for Liza

Liza finished her American Championship in style today.  She got Best of Opposite Sex from the classes at the Central New York Kennel Club  show under judge Charlotte Patterson for a 4 point major win.  I would like to thank Linda McCartney Roy for showing her beautifully and finishing her championship in less than 2 months!  I have heard that Liza just loves Linda and together they make a great team.   Sometimes a picture is worth a thousand words, and Linda sent me this photo to show she had finished today.  We are so proud of our little "Sweetspot"!
