1997 Show Happenings
 

I haven't been to many shows this year.  Between family commitments and puppies, I've been busy with "other stuff."  The dogs have been busy, though.  Kim Fitzgerald continues to present our animals beautifully, so the showing will be left to her.

New Hopefuls . . .

Twinroc Just a Gigolo
(Ch. Phi-Vestavia Nautilus, PT x Ch. Twinroc Tapestry)

"Jiggs" is a stud fee puppy aquired from Paul and Doris Slaboda.  He has been with us since the beginning of the year.  With his sweet face and sound body, we expect great things from him when he makes his show debut this summer.


Phi-Vestavia Stork Drop
(Ch. Melnibone Belrix x Phi-Vestavia Trouble in Chaos)


They say a surprise is something you didn't know you wanted until you get it.  That's Rudy!  Born in the middle of December, we didn't realize the breeding had taken place.  Rudy was the only puppy, which makes him even more special.  He will also be making his debut in late summer.



Nicky
(Ch. Phi-Vestavia Nautilus, PT x Ch. Shadowalk Vashon Jettsetter)

Nicky is pictured at 10 weeks.  He is one of the two puppies we are running on from this litter.  Right now he is with Patrick, getting training and learning how things are done from the big boys.


Nemo
(Ch. Phi-Vestavia Nautilus, PT x Ch. Shadowalk Vashon Jettsetter)

Puppy #2 from Jett's litter.  Nemo looks very much like his daddy, with wonderful movement already apparent, along with a sweet temperament.



Proudly Presenting . . .

Ch./OTCh. Phi-Vestavia Spyglass, UDX, NA, VCX



Sheryl Mills and Carson have ALWAYS made me proud.  Sheryl flew to Washington to pick Carson up when he was only 7 weeks old.  Neither one of us was sure how he would turn out -- but we hoped for the best.  Never did I imagine that this team would aim so high and achieve so much.

This year Carson and Sheryl earned their Obedience Trial Championship -- one of the toughest titles the AKC offers.  How often do you see a dog go from Novice A to OTCh?  Congratulations to this wonderful team.  I'm very proud of the first OTCh. Phi-Vestavia has produced!
