Here comes a Gigi!

All right, look like we have another agility prospect here...

Here comes a Gigi - Shazzam Of Oz Just a Joy Of Adamis.
Her puppies just went home
(all but one, who is waiting for him Mom here, right, Blue?)
and I decided to try her with those 2x2s and see
how much she remember... We practiced with her very limited time
about half-of year ago... Yet, she knows it all and goes like a Pro.
I have to admit - she does those things better then her sister Lusha,
with whom I worked a lot, so far Gigi was busy with babies.
End of this month Gigi will go for her ACT tests and if all goes well
(what I hope it would) next step will be the real thing - Novice level.
Lusha will move up to the Open. Go Gigi!
And yes, of course - Go Lusha!

Summer 2017 litters.

Our summer litters are finally here!

Shazzam Of Oz Yanna Kuzy Peekay -AKA "Yanna"

had her litter from "Shazzam Of Oz Show Must Go On "Gosha".

It was our first ever litter from this beautiful boy and

we were looking forward to see what he will produce...

No surprise, they are beautiful!

Above - "Gosha".

Below - his first ever litter from Yanna.

Congratulations, young man! Well done!

Our second litter was also one of it's kind..

First ever litter from Shazzam Of Oz Phillippa "Pippa"

and GCH Earthsong Remedy For The Blues.

Westminster winner, no less, "Blue" is producing outstanding puppies.

And Pippa became outstanding Mom.

One of those little ladies will be kept for  our future show/breeding prospect.

Can not wait to see them grow!

4-th of July weekend.

 Independence Day weekend was a big thing in our house.

Surely enough for youngsters it was dress-up time!

Tory (left) and Manya (right) posing in their new outfits for camera.

 While for Lusha it was a weekend of hard work.

She had two agility trials to attend.

In a first day of Christmas ( in July)

My Lusha brought to me

Brand-new title in Novice Jumpers

with big smile on her face

and she was just as good as one could be !

(Withe perfect score of 100 it is!)

 On a 4-th of July itself Lusha finished her second Title

in Novice Standard. 

And again with the perfect score!

 Lusha says

"Time to pack and go have celebratory dinner!"

So here she is with all her pretty ribbons!

GCH CH Shazzam Of Oz Tactical Solution RE ACT2 NJP NAP

what makes her eligible for American Miniature Schnauzer Club

Versatility Award too!

Go Lusha!

 This evening Jim, Irina and I went out all together in attempt

to do photoshoot of sunset and clouds...

I was carrying this idea for a week or nearly so...

Clouds were spectacular and I wanted to take my chance

to paint it at later time...

Meanwhile I wanted my camera and my memory to capture it.

Naturally we couldn't just take a camera only...

 we took few dogs as well.

 This time Misty and Lusha participated in our outing..

Evening was spectacular, with very warm light,

which turned dog's coat warm-orange.

Of course with some help of modern magic of Photoshop

I adjusted it somewhat...

 Misty was getting ready for another upcoming outdoor show cluster

and could use some "grass time".

Lusha just wouldn't get over the fact, if Misty would go, but she would have to stay.

Not safe, not safe.

 Here is Misty... full of herself and posing for camera..

Wish us some luck with her shows next month!

... and here is Lusha... just hanging around...

she knows all about those shows, not a big deal really!...

It was a beautiful day. Tomorrow will be another one.

Pool Party!

Today on the back yard we had some fun with some of our dogs...

Mostly with puppies.

For the first time we introduced them to pool with water

and to make this experience happy, added some toys to the mix!

Enjoy!

Can You say "FUN"?!.

Rosie and puppies playing in the kennel.

Today is the hottest day of the year...

Regardless - we took Gigi's little guys to play outside.

Of course in the shady area.

Rosie wanted to participate, but not this time.

Still - they clearly had fun with each other.

She is looking very big compare to the little ones,

but  do not forget -she is a puppy too.

Manya and Tory... soon to be show dogs!

 Only month ago "puppy-puppy", Manya will be 5 months old in a week
and dramatically changed her looks.
She and her sister Tory both are also dramatically changing
their baby-teeth and we really have to watch out!

 Every time they finding something it goes strait to their mouth!

Of course not to say that adult dogs not giving them the same idea.

Below: two little butts on the left - Manya and Tory.

Substantial butt the right - Lusha.

 Girls are looking like teenagers now. Tory got those long legs!

 Of course there are constant arguments about "whose?.."

 Sometimes even Lusha participating.
But she is getting tired of chasing toys quickly and
pups are having great time with each other...
Their treasures are safe!

 Run, girls, run!
Very soon You will be trotting in a show ring.
But till then... just play away!
It is summer!
