Miz Crystal sez we wait a little longer and watch ma size, I'm a little bit BIG, but I look so much like ma mamma, that she wants to wait and see how I keep growin'

Once again, Tim and the dogs had a GREAT WEEKEND!!  Regis is only one more double Q from a MACH2 and Kiwi finished her excellent title!!  Christy writes:

This weekend in Albion, MACH Vista Dei Luvme Like a Rock FX "Regis" did great with 3 QQs, and another leg in FAST. He has 19 QQs toward his MACH 2! His next show is July 18-20 at Cheswick, and hopefully he will hit the MACH 2 down there. He also now has 7 legs in FAST toward his MXF title.

Vista Dei Race Against Time AX,OAJ,NF "Kiwi" also had a great weekend, earning her Excellent Standard title on Friday. She also got two legs in Excellent JWW, meaning she has just one more leg to get her Excellent JWW title! Her JWW times were really fast - faster than Regis! She earned 1st place each time she qualified. She also earned her leg toward her Open FAST title.

I am SOOOOOO proud and excited!!

Dave and I set up a booth for Wag-N-Train at the Bethel Park Pet Care and Adoption Fair last week.  We had so much fun meeting people, and there were alot of people there with their animals, and some were adopted from the various rescue groups.  We gave gift bags to everyone who adopted that day.

Iz me, Puppy #5 from the L9 litter!  Miz Crystal took these pictures this morning for some lady that is interested in an agility dog, and I would be a GREAT agility dog.. but if this lady don't take me, Miz Crystal sez I will have to start looking for a pet home, cause I is 12 weeks old now.  That would bum me out big time, cause I really like to play on the teeter and run through tunnels and hop on the table.  I hopes I get to go to a home that will let me play on the agility toys!

Dave and I went to a trade show a couple weeks ago and got LOTS of neat new products, some of which I have on the site, but it is just coming in, so in the next couple weeks we will litterally be adding probably 100 new items.  I had to share this, it isn't really dog related, but after I started showing and traveling with the dogs and had a station wagon, then a van, my biggest complaint about those vehicles was my groceries all rolling loose and falling out of the bags on the way home from the store!  Well, we found this Sack hook thing for the van, and bought one for ourselves and started using it and LOVE IT, so decided to offer it for sale on Http://www.Wag-N-TrainLLC.com

 

 

We found the nicest slip leads and martingales for agility, they are so soft and hand crafted in the USA, top quality... they have a leather line too, I am just starting to post them, but here is a picture:

Our wooley bears are growing up so FAST!! Here is the L10 litter, now 6 weeks old..

Puppy #1 - Aren't I a handsome fella??  I will get into some trouble in just a second or so here..

Puppy #2 My name is Zoey... not sure if I am spellin' that right or not!!

Puppy #3 - yaaaawnnnnnn I am the Lazy one of this bunch, can always find a sun beam to lay in!

Puppy # 4 - Don't know why Miz Crystal calls me Bunny.. maybe cause ma ears use ta stick up, or maybe cause I pop around instead of walkin' or maybe cause I am a tiny girl about the size of a bunny.. dunno?
