All I want to do is looking for new classes for the dogs in varying things.. Puppy search.. When I should be doing homework, I find myself looking at my top 8 breeder pics hoping for spring litter news. I'm hopeless...

I somehow lost a microdermal in my sleep. Painless, popped out. I found it in my bed this afternoon when I realized it was missing. I couldn't really believe it. *sigh* I will let it heal and maybe get both missing microdermals replaced. I'm sad about removing my lip rings last week still..

I've been looking at doggie daycare options. I am so busy.. School, lab practising, soon there will be work as well and rideouts. I already lack time. I found off leash walks that sound promising. I'd think about paying her once a week to take my two, but I've never handed my guys off before and feel weird about it.

I'm anxiously awaiting the photos I had put on 16 x 20, and 16 x 24" canvases..

Cocker Breeders!

I finally decided to break down and ask cocker agility people. I'm on a yahoo group I use rarely. I wrote a novel and got a good number of emails. Many recommendations, a lot of the same recommendations ;) And 2 breeders I've looked at emailed me themselves. So I have a list of 5-8 with decent agility track records..

Here's hoping someone will have a litter ready spring or summer, and have a boy.. and it hopefully not be black as Smudge is just too hot all the time.. and good drive and be available, haha.

And be able to graduate... 6 more months to go....

Puppies!

AKC Invitationals......

I think Frenchies are out. We had a good agility weekend..

Cider got a steeplechase Q and a Master Jumpers Q saturday. The jumpers Q is her 10th MJ Q. She received an Expert Jumpers Bronze title. Makes her the 16th American Cocker ever to get one.

Smudge came home with a Master Jumpers Q sunday. Not bad for either of them as I haven't take lessons in ages thanks to a lack of time and money due to school.

Cider had a lovely MJ round on sunday as well as a lovely master standard. Sadly both were 5 fault runs. It was a good weekend.


3 Qs, 6 1sts, 2 2nds, a third, a fourth, and a title




So.. We met an agility Frenchie at the trial. Snorty and cute.. but I think I want anther good prospect.. plus a $3000 price tag ouch..

So.. I've got a cocker kennel with multiple invitational dogs. A crestie kennel with multiple invitees.. And mini poodles are still on the list.. but all the sizes are grouped together. I'm not sure there's a kennel or two I like yet.. Lastly there's still the cocker breeder with pretty show dogs I like. Sadly, who knows their drive. I'm finding the more I play with my two these days.. the sadder I am Smudge doesn't have more drive... I thought it would be easier, but actually, I'm frustrated. So I can't pick a breed, or a kennel. I'd adore a pretty blue roan.. but drive is more important...

And no email..

I resent my email from my other email address. Here is hoping that it went to spam as opposed to not wanting to talk to me. When I wanted a second pup I had a bunch of un-returned emails and I don't think it was just a spam issue. I had rude phone calls.. I was too young, and inexperienced and no one would even sell me a pet, let alone a confo prospect...

So I resent the email. I really want a flashy puppy...
