People often ask us if it’s difficult to have intact boys in the house all together. The theory being that they could constantly fight for “top dog” position, particularly since they’re fairly active stud dogs and we often have bitches in...

Nope, I really can’t sit here. Drake gets bored by the whole thing. Big dogs only. Little dog has left the photo. Mark enters the picture. Drake is still bored by the whole thing. Run AWAY!

So, photographing dogs is difficult at the best of times – they’re active and anything you do to get their attention can be construed as an invitation to lick the lens. We were particularly challenged this year by a puppy who hasn’t quite mastered...

Rowan and I were back at the Cavalier obedience trial today. Rowan had 2 High in Class passes to earn his CDX title. I was extremely pleased with the way he worked. He had lots of fun, but managed to hold it together and wasn’t too much of the wild and crazy guy...

Rowan and I went to the Cavalier club’s obedience trial today. We had lots of fun and I was very happy to hang out with some old friends and make some new ones. We went to the correction match last night and had a disasterous run through. Rowan was a GIANT goof...

While Rowan and I were in Lindsay at the Georgina trial, Crispin went to training class with Mark. She got to hang out with her brother Barley. By all accounts the puppies had a good time playing with each other. Nick and Trudy brought their niece with them to class...

This is Oakley, with Lily and Alexis. Oakley is Crispin’s brother. He lives a bit north of us and is growing up to be Lily and Alexis’s pal, as well as Stew’s hunting dog.

Rowan’s very proud of himself. We got 2 legs towards his CDX today at Georgina’s trial. We have a few things to work on – he was higher than a kite and heeled around the ring like a bunny rabbit, so we lost a bunch of points on heeling. He also...

I am having much fun training my new Crispin. I must admit, that for the past 4 weeks I’ve really struggled to pay much attention to her. I’ve been mourning the loss of my sweet Autumn and in some ways it felt disloyal to her to focus too much on the puppy. Not...
