After long break...

Somehow we ended up with another long break in our blogging...

It is not such a good thing, but it IS a good thing, 

because it mean we had pretty busy time here.

I guess I should give some updates, before we can start talking about new things...

After her maternity leave Lusha went back in agility ring.

So far we finished her Open title in standard agility.

She also started in Master/Excellent Class and got her first Q in Jumpers.

Go Lusha!

  

Gigi also came back after maternity leave 

and finished her Standard Novice title.

Chant started in agility Novice with Irina.

We having a great progress with him, but no Qs so far.

Chant also expressing a lot of interest to Barn Hunt sport 

and we take him out as often as we could.

He got his first Q in Senior division what is very impressive!

We also went at our All-Terrier National performance events.

Did a little bit of everything, even tried a lure coursing!

It was much fun!

Of course right after Terrier performance event we had our

National All Terrier Conformation Show

hosted by Montgomery County Kennel Club.

This year it was a debut show for our little Stormy - 

beautiful son of Lusha and Pilot.

Stormy was presented in 6-9 puppy class by our friend Krystal Mason.

They did very well and got second placement.

Stormy is a very special chapter in our life 

and I'll do separate blog post just for him.

But so far I'm trying to keep things short and simple.

This September we brought out our beautiful Dora for the last time.

She was shown at Macungie, PA 

and finished like a boss with another 3 points major.

Next goal was to finish Championship on Josie.

That was went extremely well two.

She picked up her majors one after another 

and now we have new AKC Champion

CH Shazzam Of Oz Josefina.

She is the third Champion for her Dam - "Bea"

CH Adamis Tragic Beauty.

Now Bea will go in record as top producing bitch.

Above and below - Josie picking up her two majors 

and finishing her Championship.

October 2018.

After his short debut in 6-9 months puppy class,

Stormy came back in Bred/By class.

Still at the age of 7 months only, 

he quickly received his first major

under breeder-Judge John Constantine-Amodei.

And the year is not yet over...

To be continued, stay tuned!

October /November 2017 news and updates.

We had a lot of going on in October... 

Let start from the simple fact - first week of this month

was a week of our National Specialty conformation show

and performance events and our dogs participated at both!

I'll try to compact everything what happened and keep long story short.

Lusha got 2 Qs in Open Jumpers class
(2 at Montgomery trials and last one- soon after)
and got her Jumpers Open Title.
Gigi got her Novice title in Jumpers and first Q in Standard.

We got some professional pictures of Lusha
running at Montgomery trials, she was all about it!

Soon after Lusha finished her journey to next level
of conformation achievement and now she is officially recorded
GR Champion Bronze!
(Pictured below)

Lusha's older sister Awwa

(Shazzam Of Oz Awesom News) also did great, 

won her last major and complied requirements for AKC

Champion Title!

Go Awwa!

Lusha's youngest sister, Josie

(Shazzam Of Oz Josefina)

won several shows and now has 5 points

toward her Championship.

Meanwhile our Dora...

(Not to forget none-schnauzer!)

went to National Dog Show at Oaks PA

and won her second 4 points major!

Dora is only 2 points away from becoming AKC Champion!

Several dogs went to try themselves at Barn Hunt trials...

Now we have Gigi completed her Instinct Title.

Lusha completed Instinct and has 2 Qs toward her Novice Title.

Chant got his instinct and his Novice Title at Barn Hunt!

And naturally while Lusha, Chant, Awwa, Josie, Dora and Gigi did all of above,

our Tutta raised litter of beautiful puppies and was a perfect Mom!

.... and this is WHY I had no time for blogging...

Sorry, I'll try to do it better next time!...

Maybe..

Dog shows and more.

 This summer we had plenty of fun showing some of our youngest

show starts. Josefina "Josie" was in a lead

with attending more shows then the rest.

So far she has the biggest collection of "reserve winner" ribbons

we ever had on a dog. I hope soon it is about to change into

"winner" ribbons collection.

She is fun to show (photo above).

 Our "Time Girls" - Manya and Tory 

also hit the show grounds for the first time and did very well.

Currently we are working on their coats

to bring them into perfect condition, instead of

puppy coats.

Those two are my show plan for upcoming 2018 year.

Pictured: Tory with me and Manya with Irina.

And of course there is the Eddy!...

Growing up and potentially will be shown few times

later in a season.

Currently we are working on his coat too..

Our Prima Donna - "Lusha"

(pictured above with me on two different occasions)

finishing her 2017 show season and quickly approaching 

big mile stone of becoming AKC Bronze Level Grand Champion.

She also was awarded with prestigious

American Miniature Schnauzer Club

Versatility Award

what is only given to the dogs who achieved excellence

in several different performance fields...

At Lusha's case it will be Conformation shows,

Agility and Obedience.

Only a few dogs receive this Club's Award every year

and in 2017 Lusha is one of those few.

And the year is not over yet...

Perhaps we soon to add Barn Hunt Novice title

to her impressive collection!

Go Lusha!

As for our non-schnauzers crew...
Our beautiful Dora received her first major in Macungie, PA.
We love You, girl!

Meanwhile Gigi was having fun performing in agility
and got her first let on her first ever run
with the perfect score of 100 and being top of the class!

Stay tuned... more updates coming!

(That is just so much going on there,

I have no time to post any of it really!)

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"?!.

Go Lusha!

Do not know how to start... But what a week!
Two weeks in fact...
First we went to small show in VA with 3 dogs -
Lusha, Awwa and their little sister Josie...
Girls did very well. Lusha went Best Of Breed one day
and Best of Opposite the other day.
Awwa got winner bitch and Josie reserve of winners.
Weather was not the easiest, so no pictures from that weekend...
Right on return Lusha and I went to Agility trials.
First day she had a blond moment and dropped off the bar resulting in NQ.
Second day she went like a PRO and was best it her class with her first Q
in Agility Novice Standard.

Here she sits, all proud of herself on a back of my SUV.

After trials we had to get ready for big show cluster in Harrisburg, PA,

what is our "thee most local show".

We had 4 dogs entered - same 3 ladies stated above

and Dora, our Xolo pup.

It was... much work I have to say, but we did well.

Bunch of ribbons, several placements, but most importantly 

Lusha picked up two majors and completed her final requirement

for getting her GR Champion Title!

Our friends did very well too and finished several dogs over this cluster.

It was great to see everybody happy and smiling.

Here is the picture from very last day of cluster.

Left to right - Shawne Imler, Becca Wilson and me...

 with 3 newly titled dogs!

And lastly - winning photo of Lusha:

But we are not done yet!...

Stay tuned, more to come!

York dog show cluster 2017.

 After some x-amount of digging we got my car out.

But it was no way to bring it down to our back yard

to pick up all stuff and dogs.

Therefore we used JR's shuttle services -

Jim put into good use his UTV

and was daily getting everybody in and out...

Whatever works!

 Long story short - show cluster went well.

Baby Josie got some good ring practice

and collected beautiful ribbons and even really beautiful

big rosette for the Puppy Group 4th placement.

 Lusha did outstandingly well and went two days

Best Of Breed and other two days -

Best Of Opposite Sex to Best Of Breed.

She had another major win on Saturday

and went Owner/Handled Group 2 as well.

She mean business!

Dora on other hand did very well on day one,

but no so well other 3 days.

We figured she need more ring time and as result

she will be going to the Club as often as we can take her.

I think she is getting idea - shows are good

and fun. Not sure why she forgot about it.

She was perfect in December, but...

 she is Xolo and doesn't need reasoning to do what she does.

And of course our puppy Rosie also need her ring practice,

therefore she makes company to Dora

in our Club outings.

Now we will have few weeks without shows, 

but in April girls are going back to the ring

and Lusha has more of agility trials too...

I believe she is starting to really like those...

and she is getting very good in it too...

Stay tuned to her adventures!
