Rhys is officially entered in the AKC dog show over the weekend of Feb 5/6/7 this year at the Big Four Building on the Stampede Grounds.
We are registered in handling classes for Bhindi at the Canine Fitness Centre beginning Jan 23 so she can get more of a "handle" on what she needs to do in the show ring.
Both girls will be participating in the sanction match on Feb 6th at the show, and are entered in the CGN testing on Feb 7th.
Wish us luck!
Daintree is pleased to announce the upcoming breeding of Topaz to Mercedes, on loan from Tollchester Kennels in BC.
Puppies raised in a home environment with cats, visitors of all ages and early training. We feed a balanced diet, including raw and kibble, and follow a limited vaccination schedule.
Puppies expected in mid-March and ready to go in mid to late May. Solid family dogs are our goal.

A gorgeous hot and sunny weekend in Cranbrook BC brought Rhys her first 2 CKC points. She showed beautifully on Saturday and took Best Opposite being shown by her Breeder, Til Niquidet from Pikkinokka. I showed her on Sunday after realizing I still have a long way to go to learn about how to show dogs- and knowing Til would do a better job with Bhindi.
Bhindi came home empty-handed but with 2 days of showing under her belt.
All in all it was a great weekend, even though the wasps were rampant and we didn't have access to any showers... lol.
Trisha is pondering entering the Cranbrook show this year on the weekend of August 28-30 with both Rhys and Bhindi. A few things have to come together, such as handling classes for Bhindi and someone to bench with. Also, if the CKC gets around to registering each of the puppies' CKC numbers, so Bhindi actually has one!
