Anne Prantl should be really proud of her girl Arayah. She was such a super star this weekend with me in Boise ID and earned 3, YES 3 new titles. Earning her Beginner Novice title with a 1st place. Earning her Rally Advanced title with a solid score. Earning her Obedience Novice title with a 4th place. Plus earning her 1st leg in Rally Excellent to boot. What a girl!!!! Here is the new and shiny name with all these titles!!!

Can CH/Am Ptd (4) Reddog Ranch Arayah Sequoia RA BN CD

Well, Xander decided to celebrate to soon in the class ring so we did not get our 2 points.  However he did rock the rally ring and pulled off his 1st Rally Advanced leg 🙂

Saturday, Kennewick WA, Caralyn Wray:
Xander Rally Advanced A 1st leg, 1st place, 81

Rally and Obedience for those Red Dogs made the trip a success.  Arayah and Enika when they qualified placed every time.  When they didn’t, did so in style 🙂 and made everyone smile and enjoy the day as we both had fun in the ring !!!  People were really inspired by how happy each dog was and how much they enjoyed what they were doing.  They “requested” our return for next year.  Anne should be so proud of her girls 🙂

Saturday:
Arayah Novice B 1st leg, 4th place, 176

Saturday at Enumclaw was really great in the “thinking” rings. Enika (the Vizsla) did a great job in Rally & Obedience. She earned her first leg in RA with a respectful 90, and in BN earned her 2nd leg with a 3rd place. Eleanor earned her CD title with a 3rd place  YEAH Eleanor 3 tries all in the 180’s or higher!!!! She had a very entertaining recall, she about took out the mat on her way to me. Even made the judge giggle. I am so proud of these girls, especially Eleanor, I love my little worker.. Thank you everyone for your support outside the ring, that made it WAY less stressful. Now we work on dumbbell & carting 

In the pretty ring David showed Hush & Arayah and they both had LOTS of fun…. — with David Bert and Anne Prantl.

Saturday:

Eleanor Novice B 3st leg and 3rd place 18? (NEW CD)

We went for a adventure to Victoria City with the goal to finish our red friend Arayah.  We did just that!!!  Arayah decided she wanted to wait till the last day to finish her Canadian Championship, such a girl.  Mein also decided that the last day was something exciting and decided to take a Winner Dog, Best of Winners, and Best of Breed Puppy, then rocked the Working Puppy Group with Auntie Teresa (Neu-Rodes).  SOOOO that left me waiting till Best in Show Puppy, dang things….

Xander was such a good boy.  He earned his Carting Started Title this weekend in Chehalis WA with judge Paula Cingota.  He even did a wonderful done stay next to a 6 pound toy poodle.

YEAH XANDER

Now I work with Eleanor & Hush while I refine Xander for CI.

Redmond was a very active relaxing show…………David & I bounced all over the place. We did come home with some really great successes  Our Rottweiler approved Vizsla’s did great in rally & obedience, their momma should be proud. Eleanor kicked some butt in obedience, love that girl. Xander blew momma away and snagged a sneaky MAJOR out from under her nose!!!! (even made her count and have to think to figure it out, thank goodness for Teresa and her great math skills, to count to 6)

David Bert & I would like to thank everyone that was at Redmond for making it such a great weekend. We could not have done so well if we did not have great friends to support us through it. Puppies had their 1st ring experience ALL together and STAYED in the ring (Quota, Mein & Right)!! Mein also thanks everyone for touching his BUTT!!!

Thank you Teresa Bradley for getting the pig pin out and wiping him down prior to going in the ring.

Klamath Falls was actually a really great show for our kids earning two titles. Hush “Can Ptd (7) Neu-Rodes Shut Up N Drink 2Infinity” earned her RN, with plenty of celebration, yes celebration (in the ring no less). She put on quite the show.  Earning a 94 and 4th place on her last leg obtaining her title, that was even with a little celebration in the ring. Hush even squeezed out a RWB on Sat. Smart and pretty that is how we like them, David’s little girl is growing up.

Eleanor “Am Ptd (3) 2Infinity Gone in 60 Seconds CGC RA” earned her BN. She was very good for working at 6:30 pm at night. Earning a 194 and a 2nd place on her last leg obtaining her title. She placed on all 3 legs of her title, and even on the emergency 4th leg as well.

Now we train Hush for RA, gotta work on that celebration.  Eleanor will now start to focus on CD.

Thank you Neu-Rodes for letting me bunk with you. Plus Nancy Ogren was a great inspiration for her grand dog Eleanor who adores her. 

I am now able to post this without to many tears…..(still have some)

March seems to be a bad month for us as we keep having sad news. I am finally in a place that I don’t automatically start breaking down and can share with everyone else our loss. Last year on March 13, 2013 we lost Bee Bee which was devastating to our house.

This year on Saturday March 29, 2014, Diago said goodbye to us … BOB Can CH/UCI Nat/Int CH Don Diago Vom Neuenschloss CGC HIC RE CD CS CI. I was unaware that sharing 2 McDonalds BBQ Ranch burgers, the ones with Fritos, would be our last meal together, kissed him good night and went to sleep. Known too many as Diago or D. Diago will be missed by all his house brothers/sisters, Ozzie and Sydney especially as they were the old man club of the house.

He was show dog and was a true little worker. I did everything I could with him, as his was my first dog I ever earned a: Rally title, Obedience title, and Carting Title. He set the bar high and all the others had to try and reach it, Eleanor will try and take up the slack for him now. Xander thinks it will be awhile till he matures to do any of those things. He was a trooper through anything and survived MULTIPLE puppies, a true gentlemen. We obtained a Canadian Championship with help of Teresa Bradley & Thom Woodward, but fell short of the AKC one. Xander has some big shoes to fill!!!!

He lost his battle with osteosarcoma with the removal of his leg, but that did not slow him down one bit. We fought through chemo and he was an amazing patient the vet always enjoyed his visits. We even made sure to communicate with him with the help of Nancy Bruington during each activity to make sure he was on board. To our dismay, his lungs still had cancer. We hope his passing was painless.

Off to Rainbow Bridge you go…..you have touched so many hearts in your time here with us and help solidify some amazing relationships with some great people, it is just unfair that you had to go.

7/2/2004 – 3/29/2014

I am sounding like a broken record, but it still stands true ~ Please take a second and hug your dog’s tonight when you go to bed, we have learned you never know when it is your last…..
