Dozer's big win

Judge Ms. Holly S. Scott
2 points

Dozer had a big day on Sunday, August 22, 2010. He earned 2 points toward his title and won Best of Breed and was shown in the Working group ring later that afternoon. He had a busy day.

Time for an update

I know it has been a long time since I have done a progress report, so here it is. The puppies are now 1 year and 2 months and I am sure they are all eating their owners out of house and home. Dozer, Jack and Dixie have continued to attend dog shows and went to their first Scottish Highlands Festival this year. My life has finally normalized after being unemployed for the past six months I have found work and hope to get the dogs out to more shows this next season. Look for continuing posts to catch up on the events of the past couple months as well as pictures of the fun.

Sad day July 21, 2010

Celtic Dreams Adorable Sprite

We said good-bye to our first Bullmastiff, Dori on July 21, 2010. She is the one that started all of this and she will always have a special place in our hearts. There is no more pain and she is waiting on the other side of the Rainbow Bridge with her sister for us to come and play with her again some day. Love you Dori.

Dixie is on a roll!

At the Ranch in Loveland, CO. Dixie took 1st in her class, Winners, Best of Breed, Best of Winners and of course Best Puppy. Taking Best of Breed meant that she had to stay all day to compete in the Working Class, it was a long day for her and she was a trooper. That's one more point for you girl!

And, she did this on her daddy's birthday July 3, 2010. Happy Birthday Tobi!

These pictures were taken by Polly Zeleny, Dixie now has a fan club.

I'll post the show picture once I get a copy from her daddy.

Dixie's 1st Point

Dixie got her first point in on June 5, 2010 under judge Mrs. Judith Voran. Good job Dixie keep it up and you'll have your title in no time.

Jack's 1st point

Here he is, standing so pretty. Good job Jack, keep it up and you will be finished in no time.

Old Dog Turns 10!

Yesterday was Dori's birthday. She is now 10 years old and is showing her age physically and she still has energy to play and run with the young dogs. I love my girl.

The puppies first shows

April 10 & 11 2010
This weekend was their first set of dog shows and I am very pleased with how the three pups did.
Dixie: Took first place in her class both days and on Sunday she took Reserve in the Winners class.
Dozer: Took second place in his class both days to his brother
Jack: Placed first in his class both days and on Sunday earned his first point toward his Champion title (I will post his show picture when I get it).

Kelsey did a good job showing Dozer on both days, she had been sick and was still able to get him around the ring and keep herself together until she was out of the ring.

Dixie 6 months

Dixie in training for her first show. She is a pistol, very wiggly and a very happy girl. She kind of reminds me of her grandma in the bottom picture.

Lilly 6 months

For Lilly's birthday Johnny bought her a giant bone. Look at her stylin' pink studded collar. Apparently, Lilly likes to play with billiard balls. She sure does look like a happy dog.
Such a pretty girl.

Dozer 6 months

This boy has great movement and is great at holding still, once his feet have been placed. First show next month! I can't wait to see how they do.

Jack at 6 months

He is turning out to be a nice boy. First show is next month, we need to do more training with him as he likes to get his lean on.

Our two naughty boys (5 months)

Jack, we tried to find a home that would show him and campaign the heck out of him, when we found someone who was interested he had lived with us for too long and had won our hearts. He is very beautiful and has such a personality I don't think it will take long for him to get his title. At 5 months he weighs 78 pounds, he is going to be a big boy.

Handsome Dozer, is the sweetest boy I have met since his uncle Willy. His movement is lovely and build is sound, he has a very unique coloring for this area. I hope the judges can see past his stripes and he will earn his title quickly as well. Dozer weighs 72 pounds, he too will be a good sized dog.

As for them being on the furniture, they know better and still think it is fun to climb on the couches. Gotta love 'em!

Tigger's New Home

John Evans and his new owner Tigger (she doesn't look very happy because we just put her ears back in tape). She was very happy and friendly when John came to pick her up.

Tigger's Water Dance

Tigger is always happy when she drinks water, she even dances her happy dance.

Ears!

Oh those puppy ears. Today they were all put in tape to help their ears lay flat, we can not have rose ears that fly away.

Really Mom, you think this is cute?

Oh, how humiliating!

I think I already heard this, you think we're cute!

Look at us grow

The puppies are now 13 weeks old and are growing like weeds.

My Old Dog

Dori is now 9 1/2 years old and still going strong. She is getting gray in the muzzle. Still love this sweet girl.
