A New Forever Home.....

We are happy to announce that Dakota has found a wonderful forever home! Many thanks go to Tamara and John and their tribe!(5 kids and a little baby)He definately will live out a nice cushy retirement. He has 2 new "little" sisters, Molly and Sadie and even a cat. Yes I said a cat! Whom arched her back and hissed at him! Dakota tried to hid behind Tamara! He has never had a cat stand up to him, he always just chased so things will be just fine in that area! I am so glad that we found Tamara and John and their family they are wonderful people who love animals as their own children, Dakota will be well loved!

What a weekend!

Well this past weekend I travelled to Long Sault, ON to see some old friends and make some new ones! I brought Ace to show him at the regional Specialty being held at this show. Although he wasn't awarded anything in the ring he received MANY wonderful compliments outside the ring. He had TONS of fun made a few new friends so that makes it a successful weekend for us! Although winning is nice it isn't everything!

Willow is now back home and is VERY happy to see her family. Everyone gave her a big welcome home howl when they saw her monday morning! It was very heartwarming.

The last few weeks there has been a hint of fall in the air and I am LOVING it! Our focus is beginning to change here at NduringPeace as the nights are getting cooler. Dante is getting anxious to get out and start our fall training with the team. The dogs are starting to shed their summer coats already.......do they know something that we don't ;)

Ace finishes his Championship

Well Ace finished with a bang this past weekend! On Monday July 7 Ace took Winner's Dog, Best of Winners, Best of Breed and then went on to take a group 2nd under judge Patrica Cruz! We wish to thank our "fan club" ringside who cheered Ace on! As all could see Ace LOVES applause!

This win gave Ace 5points so he is now a Champion. (pending CKC confirmation)

May 10/08 Ace took another 3 points at the Forest City Show under breeder judge Franki Leung from Hong Kong. Ace took Winner's male and Best of Winner's with an total entry of 16 dogs! Ace now has 9 points for his championship. He only needs one more to earn that title!

May 3/08 Well it seems that spring has finally arrived here in southwestern ontario. It is nice to have the warmer temperatures to sit and take in some sun and try to tend to the yard and gardens. The dogs are liking the sunbathing time. We haven't had too much rain here which is both good and bad. Good in the fact that I am not gonna have a yard full of mud puppies! Bad for the flowers and crops that need to grow.Now is the time to start to take inventory of gear and dogs, before we know it the snow will be flying again!As spring and summer approaches we are hoping to attend some more shows and get caught up with some friends we don't get to see when the weather is bad. We are looking forward to being able to spend sometime with the dogs and just enjoy the "down" time for the off season for our racing guys. We will be starting some basic training with the pups when temperatures allow. Its hard to believe they are 6 months old already!

April 12/08 Ace went Winner's Dog;Best of Winners; Best of Opposite for an additional 2 points at the Kent Kennel Club under Judge Thomas Touzel. Ace showed like a star!
