Dan also has a litter sister Candi (not pictured) who has been successful in the ring and needs just majors to finish. It’s great to see so many from one litter succeeding and having fun!

And…the very next weekend won BOB at the SBTCA National Specialty in Long Beach, CA at Great Western Terrier. (pictured right).

Fran Lovitt Tess was awarded back to back majors in Franklin TN for 7 points!! Tess has been shown exclusively from Bred By class for her points. I Lovitt Maltese would like to announce our NEW Champion I Lovitt Contessa Of Fame who was owner handled. Tess (pictured left & right) was born on April 26, 2007.

Fat Coat Retriever CH. Cantilly Wes Abbey

Janet & Bill Richardson In Pensacola, Gwen shown by Kathryn Harris won a huge open class of 8 both days and also got 2 points on Thursday in Fort Walton. At the Agility Trial in Decatur Gwen got her first two Novice Agility Jumpers legs at her first Agility trial and her mother Glenys started Novice Standard and got two legs and at the MADOC agility, Montgomery she finished her Novice standard title and moved up to Open standard and got one leg there. Glenys started agility a few years ago but was very noise sensitive and hated the noise of the teeter so we gave up trying standard courses and just did jumpers. Then we stopped to have a few litters of puppies and now she is spayed and my goal now for Glenys is to get her Excellent jumpers leg to give her that title but we are always 5 econds over time.

(pictured left)Trent who I bred last May and lives with friend Nancy in Texas. Here he is at 12 months getting his first points. A week later he got his first major. He was out for three weeks with Linda Williams. Trent is sired by Linda Muglachs Grant and dam is our girl Glenys. Ch Tresaiths Aled Minted in Gold, another Grant / Glenys kid, that I finished New years weekend in Florida and he now lives in Nashville with Carra Cole, a Corgi breeder. Here she is with him in Montgomery getting a Group 3. (pictured right) is a Glenys son many of you saw as a puppy at my house when you came to watch Eukenuba. His owner,Sandy Terry, is showing

him here for a Group 4 in April. She has also since got his CDX title and is working on Herding Started. Wiley will be 3 in September.

Honeyfox So Dash N' Debonair “Dewey” (pictured left and below) Dewy came to live with us in March from a friend in Pennsylanvia, so the Birmingham and Tuscaloosa shows were his first chance to be shown so we were thrilled when he took the dog points two of the three days there. I then took him to Perry to the Greater Atlanta Specialty where he went Winners Dog for his first Major. I look forward to getting this lovely boy out and also to start him in Agility and Obedience.

Dewey’s first major when shown at the Greater Atlanta Specialty in April following three all breed shows where he took reserve. Dewy has only been shown at 3 shows since then as he has blown most of his coat so we look forward to more points later on. He did get points at our show in April two of the three days and one point Thursday while we were at Hattiesburg. Dewy is now starting agility training and just graduated from beginner obedience.

Peggy & Stanley Shafferman Patty (El Morro's Sweet Paprika) continues to do well; an Award of Merit in Louisville under Judge William Cunningham (pictured below) and several BOB's over the last 2 months. Her BOB at the Oconee Show was over a BIS winner!

Dave & Sharon Rogers In Franklin Sparkles took WB/BOW for 2 points and received her 1st 2 legs towards her Rally Novice title. At BKC & TKC shows in Columbiana, Sparkles won WB/BOW/BOS over CH bitch Friday, Saturday & Sunday. In Montgomery she took WB/BOW/BOS on Saturday and WB/BOS on Sunday. In Perry, Sparkles won her RN title on Friday and also another point toward her CH on Sunday. In Hattiesburg Sparkles went WB/BOS Thursday, Friday, Saturday & Sunday. Sparkles also took BEST IN MATCH on Thursday!! Now we are just waiting for majors and working on our Rally & Obedience.

since Montgomery but we look forward to getting back out there soon! Pictured left & right Dickens & Dave in Group ring in Montgomery.

Cahaba Valley Kennel Club April 26th WD for 1 point under judge June Pinta handled by Dee Dee. Clarksville Kennel Club - May 14th & 15th WD/BOW/BOB for 1 point under judge Paula Hartinger and 1 point under Judge Jeanie Montford handled by Kaye Atkinson.

We were not entered on Friday. Zolly won Winners on Sat., but was pulled on Sun. so the competition could get a point since Zolly is singled out.

Debbie Rakes Puppy Reunion at Veteran's Park on Valleydale (pictured left) AllegroAussies pups had a 6th month old reunion on May 2nd. 3 out of 7 pups showed up for a fun walk. Coda (Allegro’s Rhapsody in Blue) earned his Rally Novice Title in Columbiana. He also earned 95 points for 1st place Rally Novice at the BOTC Trial.

Liberty's Let Freedom Ring (Belle) went WB on Saturday in Columbiana for 2 points. Belle earned her Rally Novice Title in Montgomery (pictured below)

Belle competed in her first Agility Trial hosted by BOTC. Although she looks great here, she was very silly and did not get a Q. But we had so much fun!
