Guess what, I got more pictures AND I got Trojan and Lilly's OFA heart certificates.

:) YES! I got the first picture from Perry. I know I have been bragging about my boy. Check him out.

Well, the numbers are in for Anderson. 8,16,2,0

Dogs are a three point major on the nose.

Bitches are a five pointer. Dare we hope that one of us gets Breed?

RoxiToo 9 - one major
Boudi 8

Lilly 6 - one major

Tammie just sent me an email and Maegan's first official public appearance has been a tremendous success. She went and played with the Cub Scouts. Here are some pictures of the girl. The Dane is Harley, the Dal is Buddy.

Something else discovered! When RoxiToo won OS in Birmingham a couple weeks ago, she beat a special (Champion) bitch for it. This is the second time RoxiToo has beaten a special to take Opposite Sex. I believe I also failed to mention that RoxiToo took reserve all three days in Perry. Again, that is VERY impressive for a puppy.

The Tug flood continues! If you haven't figured it out yet, Heather sent me a care package and I am passing on some of the conents. These pictures are from January 29th and 30th. I'm sure Tank is much bigger and cuter now, hint, hint. BTW - Tank was breed by our friends Matt and Deena Drozdoff, Fireside Mastiffs.

I forgot to mention that Lilly and Trojan both passed their OFA Cardio screenings. This is a good thing!

I honestly can't remember if I posted these pictures! These are pictures of my birthday present from Heather and Tug last year:

AND from February:

You just don't see many Mastiffs with Excellent hips.

Lilly pictures from the Newnan show! I'll play in the rain for a major anytime.

I'm home! I'm so tired and SO proud of my dogs. They were tremendous. There is nothing else I can say. Trojan was amazing. Lilly was steady and beautiful. There were eleven points available over the three days. Trojan and Lilly collected eight of them. We were one dog shy of a major Saturday and Sunday. Two for bitches. Having said that, there were no young puppy dogs and this was one of the most competive fields I have seen. EVERY dog was good. EVERY dog moved well. There were two 12-18, two Bred-By and three Opens. Trojan was glorious. I know I am speaking of my own dog but he was very special this weekend.

Thursday
Trojan	Open Winner Winner's Dog Best of Winner's 2 points
Lilly	Bred-By Exhibitor 2nd
Roxi	9-12 Winner Best Puppy Reserve
Friday
Trojan	Open Winner Winner's Dog Best of Winner's 2 points
Lilly	Bred-By Exhibitor 1st
Roxi	9-12 Winner Reserve
Saturday
Trojan	Open Winner Winner's Dog Best of Winner's 2 points
Lilly	Bred-By Exhibitor 1st Winner's Bitch Best of Opposite 2 points
Roxi	9-12 Winner Reserve

Trojan gets a win! Trojan won Best of Winner's today. RoxiToo won best puppy and Reserve. Trojan earned 2 points. That brings his point total to 4. Trojan really looked great today and the judge told me to bring him back when he is a special. She said, "He has it all." Which brings up an interesting question, how many points does everyone have?

Morrigan CHAMPION
Tug CHAMPION
Macey CAN. CHAMPION
Oscar 11 - one major
RoxiToo 9 - one major
Boudi 7
Lilly 4 - one major
Trojan 4

Lilly, Trojan and RoxieToo have matches tomorrow and Saturday.

RoxieToo has had another good weekend. She earned another two wins and another BOS on Friday and Saturday. The only judge that didn't give her Winner's Bitch was Greathouse. She is such an awesome girl.

Here are a couple pictures of me and my buddy from a couple weeks ago.


Laura doesn't want the dogs in the new house. I foresee me spending ALOT of time out in my recliner in the dog house. Why do you think I am building it so large? :)

I posted some pictures of the dog's house over on the SPV site.

Jennifer, this link is for you: Fearghus

Hidden Treasure! Jennifer sent me some more pictures of the show. We will start with the silly which means we start with RoxiToo and Sidney. Roxie is incredibly laid back and completely relaxed at a dog show. Evidence? How's this?

Roxie was like this for the entire show. Sandra has done an outstanding job with RoxieToo and she is going to do BIG things.

Next we move onto The Boy, My Buddy, Trojan. He did okay but needs size. He was horrible in the yard practicing but didn't put a foot out of place during the show so I guess he was just sandbagging me. Regardless, T didn't get any points this weekend.

Any time you win a major you have had a good weekend. Sunday for Lilly was my fault. Lilly needs bait, Trojan doesn't. I both on Saturday and they did great. On Sunday I couldn't get Lilly's head up and I believe it doomed her.

But she did win the major on Saturday and here is why. I haven't touched her rear yet, this is just how she stopped. Look how long she is and how far her rear angulation lets her stretch out. This girl has tremendous angles and is really going to be a joy to show once her handler gets his head out of his butt.

Which brings us back to Os. Os is a very pretty dog. He is clean and tall with a big ol noggin but the dog paces and it really hurts him in the ring. Her is a GREAT picture taken by Jennifer's dad.

Here you can plainly see that Os moves both legs on the same side at the same time. This makes his butt wiggle and wobble as he moves. Notice how it makes his hip and knee poke out on his left side. The judges want to see a trot where diagonal legs are moving together. We have tried everything with the boy and he is just determined to move this way. HERE is an excellent article on dog gaits.

Breed Counts for Perry:

Thursday: 6-8-7-0
Friday: 8-9-7-0
Saturday: 8-9-7-0

Dogs
3pts - 8
4pts - 9

Bitches
3pts - 9
4pts - 11

Jennifer sent me a great picture tonight.

It is from the Newnan show on Sunday. I keep telling you folks Os has a big 'ol head! Jen's boss thought it was photoshopped. It isn't. :)

I also like Jen's stylin Cool Hand Luke/Maverick shades.

Lilly won Winner's Bitch and Best of Winner's at the Newnan Dog Show Saturday and earned a four point major! RoxiToo won Winner's Bitch on Sunday and earned a point! Trojan and Oscar didn't do as well. We earned all the bitch points and that's pretty good. :)

RoxiOne showed her one true talent this evening, shook her head and hit herself in the eye with her own tongue. It must have been a pretty good shake because she flinched and yelped!

I hope to have Roxi and Lilly's pictures up soon.
