MUSIC One Week Old

Growing and getting cuter by the minute I think!

MUSIC in HD ;o)

PAN PUPPIES!

The MUSIC litter gets to try something new - being in a pan! It's all part of the Super Puppy program, exposing them to minor stresses at this stage in order to help them cope later on. You can read more about it at www.BreedingBetterDogs.com

Rock Climbers!

I'm a little behind...but this is about a week ago at our 7.5 week puppy evaluation. Thanks SO much to Dr. Wendy Wallace for her invaluable help and advise regarding placements and abilities of these pups. We know a lot of "nurture" makes for a great dog once they leave her. But it's VERY important to look at "nature" as well....not to mention structure, etc. DR. Wendy commented on how confident all the puppies were, and how well they played, both with their siblings, and with us.

The RED litter is now leaving for their new homes, and we hope their new families will enjoy them as much as I have...and I look forward to watching them grow and develop, and be part of our extended JavaHill Family!

Show weekend!

CONGRATS to all our JavaHill Winners this past weekend!

New AKC Champion: CH Tollchester California Dreamin' JavaHill (Harmony).

Getting very close: Can CH JavaHill Torri AlohaShine, RN (Torri) who lost yet another major when someone couldn't make it - but took Winner's for 2 points. She just needs a 3-pt major to finish.

New CD: JavaHill's Autumn Joy, RE, CD (Bliss)

New RN: Am/Can/NSDTRC-US CH JavaHill Steal My Heart, Am/Can RN, Can JH, Am/Can WC (Nicholas) who earned a PERFECT 100 while moving right along to finish 1st place over 30+ other dogs.

And congrats to Mick, who took Winners from the 6-9 puppy class on Monday. His picture is at the top. He's Fury x Cooper.

Great job!

Scout had an RA leg from before, so Scout, Ciara and Cooper have just one more to go for their title! WAY TO GO!

Btw, I have to mention a newcomer to the showring: young Lee McCrory showed his boy Toby, aka JavaHill's Shotgun By The Bay - neither had ever been in the ring before, and they came out with a blue ribbon. They were the only ones in the ring, but as many of you know, the judge does NOT have to award 1st place if they feel the dog is "without Merit"....thanks to Lee and his mom for getting Toby out there, and to Leslie Grant for giving him a short lesson before he went in. Toby did his Mom Rio and daddy Rev proud - he's a really nice dog and moves like the wind!
