Eight more days, but who's counting?!!!!!

Zinger bred to Burlap puppies due in eight days.  Exciting and scary.  Always scary before they deliver.  I am very much hoping that all goes as before, like a dream.  No, I don't know how many are in there, but I'm sure she is pregnant!  She is acting like a princess again, according to her mama!  Maybe I'll see her today at Nosework, maybe not if she has the vapors!  You know!

Zinger sideways BEFORE puppies.

Her boy, Bryce has been VERY successful, knock on wood, in the show ring.  He has twice now beaten specials.  He is about 9.5 months old.  Sweet as the day is long.

Burlap X Zinger puppies should be beautiful, knock on wood!!!!!

Happy half year birthday to Rugby and his siblings.  He is owned by Hannah Branigan, kind of.  Harper Branigan may be the real owner!!! 

Another Harper.  This Harper lives in Colorado, not North Carolina and is a funny girl.  She just took breed over specials from the classes and the picture of that win will NOT come up in my downloads and this totally incompetent commuter person (NOT) can't figure out how to get it up on this lineup!!!  Oh well, this one can at least bring a smile to MY face, if not yours!  Isn't she just CUTE?!!!!!!

Zinger's sister, Dansa, in her lion costume for Freestyle dance.  This girl and her brother, Harta, have lists of titles that would make any breeder proud.  Heather is one heck of a trainer and has tons of fun with her BTs.

Harper and Rugby Branigan.  Cute or what?!!!

Thank goodness the snow is behind us.  Harper and her puppy, a while ago.....

Can't you see Harper in there?  Me either!  Rugby has a hard life!  HA!!!

Watch Hannah and Rugby in the youtube videos below!  Hannah is a Karen Pryor Academy ambassador/lecturer.  Rugby is her newest demo dog.  She has had Belgian Tervurens up until now and an old hound mix.  Think she made the right choice getting a BT?!!!!!  BTs rule!!!!
