Now and Then

Gage enjoys celebrating St. Patrick's day. Once again he marched in the Pittsburgh St. Patrick's day parade. He was cute at 13 weeks and is still cute at 3 years.

Bird Watching

One of Jazz's favorite past times is bird watching. No barking or chasing--just watching. I wonder what is going through her mind. Perhaps like me she would like to be able to fly.

Happy Valentine's Day

I received this very cute Valentine card of Jazz and big sister Tess. I still think Lisa needs to send some of her pictures to greeting card and calendar companies. Her pictures are often better than what I see on those things. Two sweethearts.

Sweet Valentines

I received this very cute Valentine card today from JoAnna and Geno. Joanna tells me that the photo studio asked her permission to put the Valentine picture up on a Steelers board and wanted to display another of him alone and another of her and Geno in their Penguin gear in the store as well. JoAnna also told me that there was a lady in the store that told her that Geno was the most beautiful Dalmatian that she had ever seen. These two are a very photogenic pair.

Pedro The Great

I recently received a disk of wonderful pictures of Pedro and his family. There were so many wonderful pictures that I could not decide what to put on here. Here are just a few of the ones that made me smile. Pedro is owned and very much loved by Tomasz and his lovely fiancee.

Pedro meets a cat.

Grandma what big teeth you have.

That was the funniest thing I have ever heard.

A very handsome dude.

Go Steelers!

Couldn't resist putting up this picture of Jazz and Tess cheering on the Steelers. It seems that it worked and our team got the job done. These girls are owned by Lisa and Jim Bauer.

The Dog

I recently received this picture of Geno, previously known as Andy. We have always thought he had a beautiful face and as an adult that has held true. JoAnna refers to this picture as THE DOG. She tells me that the people at The Picture Place, who took this shot, just love this dog. They use his likeness in their advertisements. She says he is a bit spoiled. Geno is from the Gia/Tolliver litter and turned a year old in November. He is owned, pampered and loved by JoAnna Bucci

Mugsy

This very handsome boy is Mugsy. He is from the Gia/Jigs litter and is now 3 years old. Mugs is owned and loved by John & Libby Lauff.

Happy Birthday Gabby

This is Gabby all grown up. She and her litter mates turned a year old yesterday. She reminds me so much of her mother Gia. The small picture is mother Gia. Gabby is owned and loved by the O'Neil family.

Happy Birthday Hero

Hero's family sent me this great picture today. He and his litter mates turn one year old today. Happy Birthday guys! These pups were from the Gia/Tolliver litter. Hero was the puppy that we called Joe. What a handsome boy he is. Hero is owned and loved by Trent & Michelle Zulick.

Halloween Cutie

I couldn't resist posting this picture of our little trick or treater on his first Halloween. This is Dalton Emerson King age 10 months. LaDonna

Halloween Cuties

Here are a couple of shots of some Kingdom Kids in disguise. The first picture is of Jazz and her big sister Tess after winning a Halloween costume contest. They then wore their costumes to do some therapy work and were well received. These girls are owned and loved by Lisa and Jim Bauer.





Then we have Gage pretending to be Elvis. His friends at the nursing home were very impressed with him and he brought much laughter to many. Of course I was dressed like a teenage Elvis fan.

Funny Dog

Dalmatians have a way of making us laugh each day. Here are a couple of pictures of Gage as he makes me chuckle.

Gage sneaks up on my grandson Dalton for a quick nibble of graham cracker.

Gage knows how to relax.

Brothers

Here are a few pictures I have recently received of three of the boys from the Gia/Tolliver litter. All very handsome and sweet boys. These pups will soon be 10 months old.

Two New Canine Good Citizens

An exciting day today as two Kingdom kids earn their Canine Good Citizen designations. While Peet & Jazz are only 9 1/2 months old, they showed the older dogs how it is done, as they passed the AKC Canine Good Citizens test with flying colors. They also passed the therapy dog test but will have to wait until they are a year old and retest to become registered therapy dogs. They are pictured here with the judges that tested them today.

Kingdom's All That Jazz CGC-- is owned by Lisa and Jim Bauer

Kingdom's For Peet's Sake CGC-- is owned by Cindy & Eric Kulikowski

Hiding

A very handsome Rudy is playing hide and seek behind the bushes. Rudy is a Gia son and is owned and loved by Cindy & Eric Kulikowski. Thanks for sharing such a great photo guys.

Therapy Visit

Jazz & Peet came today to join us for a pet therapy visit. They both did extremely well and the residents were so happy to see them and to see how much they have grown. Lisa Bauer and Cindy Kulikowski are doing such a great job with these two sweet puppies.

Bunny Dog

Is it a rabbit or is it a dog? Oh, it's a Steeler dog! Received this cute picture of Steeler running and it made me laugh. Dalmatians have so much fun. Steeler is Gage's brother from Gia's first litter and is owned by Jennifer Jackson from Massachusetts.

New Champion!

We are very proud to announce Kingdom Dalmatians newest Champion. On June 28th 2008 at the Bushy Run Kennel Club show, Gage was Winners Dog, Best of Winners and Best of Breed, to finish his championship. To make his finish even more special, he took a group 4 placement that day and again the following day. He will now be known as CH.Kingdom's Twist of Fate CGC, TDI. Gage was bred by myself & Barb Allison and is owned, shown and much loved by me.

Little Fire Cracker

Little Jazz celebrates the 4th of July in grand style.

Breeders

On Saturday, Jazz and her sister Tess got to spend some time with the two ladies that brought them into the world. Tess and her breeder Joni Shoup (left) Jazz with me (right). Tess and Jazz are owned, loved, trained and shown by Lisa and Jim Bauer. Lisa calls this her grandma picture.

Fire Dog

Ryan impresses the crowds as he rides atop of the fire truck in a parade. He has become a real socialite and crowd pleaser. Great job Ryan!

Another Major For Gage

Gage won his second major this past Sunday. He now only needs 1 single point to become an AKC champion. I am so proud of this very sweet dog.

Gage was co-bred by myself and Barb Allison. He is the son of BISS Ch. McDottie Keenen Irish "Jigs" and Rim Rock N Siobahn X's n O's "Gia". Owned and shown by me.

Therapy Work

Jazz & Peet joined us today at the home for some pet therapy work. They were a huge hit with the residents and both behaved extremely well and impressed everyone. To make it even more interesting, Dalton joined the group too. What could be more fun than puppies and babies? They all brought smiles to many faces today.

Pedro & Tomasz

Pedro and owner Tomasz go for a ride. Tom says Pedro loves going for rides and especially to his friends houses. Tom says Pedro is an AWESOME dog.

Surprise from Cassidy

We were surprised and pleased to receive this great picture for Mothers Day from one of Zoe's daughters. This is Cassidy and she is nine years old now. Cassidy lives in Erie with a great family that includes two children that were pretty young when they got her but are now quite grown up. How exciting to see Cassidy looking so well.

Happy Mothers Day From Jazz

Gia was pleased to receive a Mothers Day card and picture from her little daughter Jazz. I hear she is doing a great job at agility even though she has not done a class yet. What a great girl!

Hero & Buster

Here is Hero with one of his friends. I understand he is good with cats as well as dogs. Good boy Hero! He continues his weekly nursing home visits with Trent and is making many people happy. He seems to know when to be calm and when to be more active with the residents.

Peet & Gage

Gage invited baby brother Peet to join him for a pet therapy visit. The residents loved seeing both of them and were so surprised at how much Peet has grown. These boys brought smiles to many faces. The folks remarked at how much alike these two boys are in looks and personality. One in brown and one in black.

Geno is growing

For those that haven't seen Geno/Andy in awhile you may be surprised at how much he has grown. He has always had a face to die for and that certainly has not changed.
