On January 10, 2010 Ryder finished his championship at only 15 months of age. I couldn't be more proud of Chris and Ryder!

Shiloh and Georgia
Shiloh has grown into a very pretty girl and I hear that she is the star of her agility class. 
Shiloh has been learning all about agility and is having a very good time. She is pictured here with her favorite toy.
It looks like she loves her toys
Pictured below are Jersey and Georgia. I hear Georgia is a little spoiled but I am sure Jersey has taught her some manners.

New pictures of Georgia and Ryder
Ryder is enjoying watching 101 Dalmatians on TV. I think Bella must have seen it before.
Below is Georgia with her buddy Jersey. Georgia is a little spoiled I am told and likes to cuddle!
Here she is again looking very pretty!

SARAH'S SUMMER VACATION
Here are some pictures of Sarah who was the only liver and white puppy in the Garrett - Gambit litter. She was formerly known as Ameraucana. She has grown into a beautiful young lady.
She is waiting to go on a vacation trip in the RV to Ocean Lakes Campground, Mrytle Beach.
" Ok...let's go! I'll drive!"
"I really have a great view....vacations are so much fun. I have the greatest family because they take me too when they go away!"

Ryder and Bizzi's first sleep over...
This weekend Chris and I went to the Medina shows with Ryder and Bizzi and spent the night in a Motel. This is not new for Bizzi but was a brand new experience for Ryder.
Bizzi teasing Ryder with her toy. When he would get near she would roar like a lion at him. Below he is trying to get up the nerve to try to take the toy.
He is getting closer!
At last he gets the nerve to try to take it...
As you can see she wasn't going to give it up!
We had a great time and so did the dogs. The judges didn't really like Bizzi this weekend but Ryder was Reserve Winners Dog both days! We call him M.A.P. which stands for Mister Almost Perfect! Ryder is a great puppy and Chris is bringing out the best in him. What fun I am having watching these two learn about showing. I am proud of them both I might add!

SIDNEY AND BIG SISTER BELLA
Sidney gives a high five or in this case four....
Today Chris most graciously opened up her home for the GPDC to hold our meeting. What a wonderful time we all had. The food was wonderful and Ladonna was the designated driver so I enjoyed my fill of Swampwater! Chris even made a carry out bag full of Chartruese, pineapple juice, lemons and limes so I could partake in this lucious beverage whenever I feel the urge! Some of us brought our dogs who had a blast chasing each other around the pool. Here are some pictures of Sidney looking very handsome at 9 months old. It was great to see Sidney again as well as he owners Millie and Paul.
Below are two pictures of beautiful blue eyed Bella who is a full sister to my Bizzi and owned by Chris.

Steeler the lap dog.....
This is steeler with his good friend Hailey. He wants to sit in her lap but there doesn't seem to be quite enough lap. He wears his ear on backwards like his Mom. 6/9/09
NICO
I received these pictures today of Nico whose litter name was Maran. She looks a lot like her Mom but I can see a resemblance to her big sister Bizzi in her head shape.
She would be nearly 9 months old in these pictures.
I can hardly believe that another litter has come and gone since Nico was a baby. It doesn't seem possible.

Steeler
Big Golden brother is a good influence on Steeler. It looks like Steeler has learned to sit on command just like Hunter! I am told that Steeler also knows come and shake and is learning down.... Good boy Steeler! 
It looks like Steeler is in good hands or should I say paws.
WOW.... He is showing off his sit all by himself!

SWEET SARA
Here is Sara formerly Ameraucana. I think she is beautiful and by the looks of things she has stolen the heart of her new Daddy
If you click on the face shot of her you will be able to see that she has one partial blue eye. Many times the liver dals eyes reflect red rather than green. Sara seems to have one eye that reflects green and one that reflects red. In dogs with blue eyes or partial blue eyes very little pigment is present in the back of the eye and the blood vessels that are normally hidden by this pigment are visible and make the reflection bright red. Many breeders feel that this lack of pigment in blue eyes is connected to deafness. Ironically Sara hears unilaterally and the ear that is deaf is on the same side as the partial blue eye. I feel she is very beautiful and many people have asked my why I didn't keep her. I strongly feel that blue eyes and unilateral hearing Dals make wonderful family companions but should never be bred. Therefore she has become a much loved family pet as evidenced in the photo below
