Touille's pup

Touille had a litter of puppies on the day of the Mayan Apocalypse, Dec. 21, 2012.  Luckily the world decided not to end that day and one of them has grown up to be a winning show dog, Jax, Elwha's Don't Wait For Tomorrow.  Last weekend at the Puyallup dog shows he took the major two of the three days and then at Portland, he took the major the second day to finish his championship.  He also took the Breed over five specials. Dan told me that two of those specials are in the top ten in the breed.  That is pretty impressive!  His dad, Dan, is having a ton of fun with him.  Dan thinks that Jax hung the moon anyway, but is really jazzed that he is doing so well at the tender age of thirteen months.  The dog that took the major the first day of the Portland shows is only six months old and is from my old stomping grounds, New Mexico.  Mr. Deio belongs to Trisa Hansen and Caleb Campbell.  He took Reserve yesterday behind Jax, so keep your eyes open for Trisa and Caleb's boy, Deio!

Here is a picture of Jax as a much younger puppy.  He is out there having fun!  I am eager to see how he looks NOW!  He looks awfully "puppy" in this picture!  So, there's your update!

Another update.  One of the puppies who went to a home last weekend is coming back.  One of her girls  has found out that she is allergic to dogs!  Giant bummer!  Poor Lily and poor Poppy.  Poppy is the one with the hat in the last post.  I can't imagine how sad those girls are going to be.  Poppy too.

Three puppies will go to homes this weekend.  One set of new "parents" is here right now meeting "Romeo."  It looked to me as if it was love at first sight!  He gets to go up to Vancouver, BC, Canada.  Looks to me as if he is a lucky dog.  Two loving parents!

Dan JUST called.  Jax took the breed again today!  He's on a roll!  Keep your fingers crossed for the weekend!

Later,
