What a lovely puppy he's turning out to be!


No kidding!! He's a real looker, I bet you're having all sorts of fun with
that handsome boy. :-)

I am going to have to try & get some stacked photos of Dharma online. She
is just a week over 3 mos. now, and is learning to stack herself. Of
course, she is just barely learning to hold still for more than a few
seconds!
We had our weekend of big firsts last weekend, she had her 1st conformation
match. We just went for fun, she wound up beating about 20 bitch puppies
to take first place in the 3-6 mos. old class. I was pleasantly surprised,
she behaved herself well, and gaited around the ring beautifully. She has
a very lovely side-gait, and looks equally as nice going away. I need
someone to video, since I can't see her coming-to movement. She's just
such a pretty thing, I am so happy to have her!

Then Sunday we went to a NADAC trial and she took it all in stride, no fear,
playful and greeted everyone with inquisitive glee; "Have you Cookies??"
An agility trial is a good test for a puppy, with all of the noise, crowd &
barking.

Coda loveloveloves her to pieces, Bodhi now thinks that she is a super-neat
playmate, and my husband has fallen hard for her pretty girl charms. I
am really, really hoping to attend the Abbotsford show in February...might
you be going??

All is well in the world.

mud!)
