19 August - Sienna turns 1 - Happy Birthday to her litter mates in Australia!! Now for those x-rays....
7/8 August 2010 - Wellington show weekend - 4 x shows and Sienna got 2 more challenges - she would be a NZ Champ but she is still in puppy so needs one more in Junior to obtain her title. She also won 2 x Best of Breeds and Dante won 1, Dante also got 2 x Best Bitch awards - 10 more to go!!!!
26 July 2010 - Arizona turns 1 - Happy Birthday Sam, Tycho and Rose.
11 June 2010 - This will be my hardest news and I admit to putting this off as typing it makes it all the more real - tragically the week after Emmerson's best show weekend, our beautiful boy crossed the Rainbow bridge - losing Emmy has been the most difficult thing I have had to face and cope with - he had been on fire in the weekend, went running on the Wednesday evening - no warning signs no nothing - he was as happy and goofy as always - Friday morning I awoke around 2.30am to find he had been sick - I immediately thought he was bloating (Arizona was in season and the boys were very excited) - he had collapsed by the time I had phoned the vet and changed and we had to carry him to the van - I drove into town begging him to hold on but on arrival I knew we were too late. The autopsy revealed that Emmy had hemorrhaged and the cause was acute pancreatitis. Losing Emmy was devastating and to be honest I questioned if I could go on and, if I wanted to - losing Eiger at 7 was difficult but Emmy was only 3. We lost a running partner, a carting dog, my show dog, stud dog, but most of all we lost our goofy handsome best friend and family member who can never be replaced - there has not been a day pass when I don't miss him and shed a tear... RIP my beautiful boy - always in our hearts and missed every day xx

Our new girl Sienna has arrived and settled in well - she has a superb temperament and takes everything in her stride - apart from Emmy who she is still not sure of. Denver is the puppy sitter at the moment - he is so good with the girls and I am sure he loves the responsibility. We thank David & Gail for sending us such a super puppy and we can't wait for her first show!!
Sienna at Auckland Airport - pleased to be out of her crate!
