Another Gia/Tolliver Son

What a thrill to receive some photos of Louie. This was the big puppy from the Gia/Tolliver litter born two years ago. What a handsome young dog he is. His owners tell me that people remark everywhere he goes about how beautiful he is. I can see why.

Gia?

Nope. This is Gia's daughter Gabby. I am always blown away by the resemblance between these two sweet dogs. Here is what Christine had to say about Gabby:

We have received so many compliments on how pretty Gabby is... Yes she is a beauty... We celebrated her birthday with an Ice cream cone and dog treats.. Brenden and Morgan could not wait for the day.

Steeler Dog Stikes Again

Not only did Steeler qualify this past weekend for an APDT Rally leg, he earned three in one day. Here is what Jenn had to say about it.
Steeler earned his RL-1 (APDT RALLY Level 1) title in three straight trials on Saturday Dec 19th at the Monadnock Humane Society in Keene, NH. He got progressively better with each run earning scores of 189, 200, and 195! A perfect score is 200.

Nice job guys. You two make a great team!

Star Gazer

Jennifer sent this great picture of Steeler as he gazes out the window. You may notice the big heart on his shoulder. I think that heart belongs to Jenn, as I know this dog has stolen her heart. I love that Jenn keeps him in such a good weight and in great condition.
These two are a wonderful team and spend a lot of quality time training together.

Christmas Cards

Oh how I love receiving Christmas cards from my puppy people. It is even better when they include a picture of my "spotted babies". Here are a couple from this week that I thought I would share. Jazz and her big sister Tess always have such great shots. I think they should be on greeting cards. Thank you Lisa for always sharing your girls with me.

Here is just one of the many JoAnna shared with me of her best buddy Geno. What a sweet, handsome and she says a bit spoiled boy he is. JoAnna says he is her very best friend in the world.

3 Of 12

Here are some recent shots of three of the dogs from the Twelve days off Christmas litter. The first is of the very handsome Luka. Luka was the biggest puppy in the litter. He went to live with Steve & Kim. Even though they thought they wanted a girl at the time, they took one look at his beautiful face and fell in love.
























The next picture is of Mugsy. He was the quiet puppy in the litter that liked to sit back and watch as his littermates tormented each other. He is the very much loved and maybe a little spoiled dog of John & Libby.



























This last picture is of Pager. Pager was the first champion from this litter and always showed her heart out for owner Melissa. Melissa owns three Dalmatian's, the youngest being a puppy of Pager's. Here is what she says about Christmas at their house.

Pager, Bugle and the newest brat Kindle are counting the days till Christmas. I know they are excited because Bugle has already piddled
on the tree, Pager is hiding from Kindle behind it and Kindle has tried to climb it, twice. We so love the holidays! -Best wishes, Melissa.

Happy Birthday to the 12 Days Litter

A very happy fourth birthday today to our Twelve Days of Christmas litter. This was the litter that my Gage came from so they are very special to me. They were born in December and there were twelve of them. Their co breeder Barb Allison suggested that they be named for the 12 days of Christmas and so they became:
A partridge in a pear tree. Party-- now Eden
Two turtle doves. Dove--now Arrow

Three french hens. Frenchy--now Rudy

Four colly birds. Bird--now Mugsy
Five gold rings. Goldy--now Gambit

Six geese laying. Goose--Steeler
Seven swans swimming. Swanny--now Asher

Eight maids milking. Maiden--now Piper

Nine drummers drumming. Drummer--now Luka

Ten pipers piping. Piper--now Pepper

Eleven ladies dancing. Dancer--now Pager

Twelve lords leaping. Leaper--now Gage

Happy Birthday Guys!
