Well, we finally did it. Moved that is. From 3.5 acres to 40. If I am a little slow answering emails assume I am up to my eyeballs in boxes. Or I haven't unpacked the computer cable. Or I've gotten lost trying to find the hardware store. Or I am wantering the mountainside with a pack of collies. OK, probably not the last, at least not yet. Too many boxes to unpack, but hopefully soon.

For all our friends anxiously awaiting news....we have done a breeding in Florida and at least one of the girls in NH has decided to cycle on time!! We anticipate our first NH based breeding of 2015 to be next week. We will post details when pregnancies are (hopefully) confirmed.
A huge congratulations to Miss Cookie Delany (aka Gateside Mandalay Butterfly Kisses, CGC) who passed her CGC test yesterday. She is trained and loved by JM and Sean. She is already enrolled in TDI training classes!
Hanging on her sister's coat tails, Trinity also passed her CGC on Sat. And not to be outdone by the older generation, Trinity's daughter Jade also passed. It was pretty neat to see all three girls working so nicely. A little bit late on the brag, but only two of our dogs went to Nationals this year. I couldn't attend, so Jaye took Seeker and we sent Rip with Steve and Paul. Rip placed 3rd in his class groomed and handled by Steve and Paul. Seeker and Jaye made it to the last cut in the Smooth Dog Specials ring. We are so proud of them both.
The girls in Florida have started cycling! One breeding has been done and a second is underway. We should know if we are expecting next week on Kitty and in another 4 weeks on Elka.
We were very excited with Seeker's excellent OFA results on his hips. Not bad for almost 7!
Blue finished with a 4th major on Sunday in stiff competition. We have plans for a special breeding for her later this year.
