Please check out the Facebook page for photos

It was WAY WAY to hot to have the pups outside for any length of time today. So I put them in the kitchen of the new house to play and wear themselves out.

Not the greatest photos of them ... but they are all posted on the Plum Ridge Training Centre Facebook page. (There is a link on the badge to the right).

Please check them out!!

I do still have pups for sale out of both litters, so please feel free to inquire.

Hope everyone is staying COOL!!

Dora Babies playing in a new room

I was able to get a video of the three pups playing in one of the rooms of the new house. They have never been in this room before and there was no AC on (new house central air not hooked up yet).

Click on blog title to go to YouTube and see video...

These little munchkins are three weeks old and quite BUSY!!

Gem x Tag babies on Facebook

Ok I will apologize for being really "Bad" about getting photos and updates posted to the blog. Life is VERY busy (outside of the dogs too... house building going well but slower than I want). So trying to keep all areas updated has been hard.

To the right is the 'badge' for my PlumRidge Training Centre "Facebook" page. That is where the Gem x Tag puppy photos are currently posted (much easier to upload bulk groups of photos).

Please visit there to see the new babies.

These two litters sired by Tag are a joint effort between myself and Tag's owner Chris Chambers, there are going to be pups not already spoken for, so feel free to contact either of us to discuss the pups in the litters!!

Dora BABIES!!

Back in March when I delivered "Gem" down to Chris's to repeat the litter that created Mollie and Ruby. Dora (Imp. Ellie x WTCH Kane) was in heat as well. Knowing that Gem had only a small litter that last time, I felt it would not be hard to have the two litters at the same time, SO Dora went along too!!



Tag is the sire (you can scroll to other posts about how well he has done USBCHA Open).



Dora was bred here at Plum Ridge, she is out of one of my blue import girl "Ellie" and Kane (my best buddy and an awesome worker).





We expected a larger litter, but are grateful for what we have. The litter was born at Chris's home but is now here at PlumRidge.




There is only one boy, and surprisingly enough he is BLUE!!




There are two black and white girls.




Chris and I are both excited to see these pups mature. One pup is already spoken for (it's headed to live with Chris and daddy "Tag").




Inquires are welcome!!

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!!

In honor of our "Mothers" for Mother's Day, many of my Facebook friends were putting photos of themselves with their Mothers. I did the same and put up a more recent photo of my Mother and I at a business convention not so many years ago.
Since I have been very bad about updating the blog, I thought I would dig out this old photo of my Mother (standing behind me) along with myself handling her dog "Jay Jay".

My Mother has always been a Schnauzer lover. (I grew up in a house and farm full of Mini Schnauzers). However when I began handling professionally, she decided to get involved, by purchasing herself a Standard Schnauzer for herself (that I could handle for her).

This photo was taken when Jay was just barely 6 mos old. It was his VERY first show ever, and it was the National Specialty. To put it mildly the boy CLEANED UP!!

I still remember after all the other handlers congratulated me, and my mom was holding her pile of 'loot" she has won as prizes (Nationals always do give neat stuff away). She commented to me " Do you think we can get a photo of this?"

Yeah Mom we ARE getting a photo of this!!

Jay Jay went on to be a VERY successful showdog, and even was campaigned to be the #1 black Std. Schnauzer the year he was campagined. But the thing he did that by far was MORE successful, was he was my Mother's best buddy. He rode EVERYWHERE with her, he went to her retail shop, he slept on her bed, he was her 'service' dog. He was just IT ALL!!

Jay Jay has sadly passed some years ago, and he is still missed and talked about often!!

So this post is a HAPPY belated MOTHER'S Day to ALL!!
