A photo is worth a thousand words....

and it might truly take that many to convey our excitement, but since I just got home from work I'll try to keep it shorter than that.  For those of you who aren't friends with me (Missy) on Facebook, Flyer finished his Championship (pending AKC approval) at the Mensona Kennel Club Support Entry on Sunday August 25 under breeder judge Kim Shira with a 5 point major going WD and BOW!  We are thrilled to have our first dog with letter's on both ends of his name.  Flyer, CH C-Myste Baledwr Pilot Flies Over Spyrock RN HT, has achieved all of his titles with limited showing.  He finished his RN and HT at 15 months old and his CH at 20 months of age.  We are so grateful to his breeders for not only breeding this happy, willing, (and if I do say so myself) good looking guy but allowing him to come to us.  So without further ado, here is Flyer's new champion photo!

PS It's 3am so I apologize for any typo's. ;)

Flyer's New "Friend"

Flyer had a vistor this week, a lovely blue girl named Kitty,CH Coedwig's Silver Lynx.  They had a courtship and if all goes as planned the litter is due April 22.  This litter should produce some very nice blue and blacks with goofy personalities if they are anything like their parents!  Fingers crossed!

If you may be interested in a puppy from this litter please hold off on inquiring with Kim until it's been confirmed that Kitty took.

Rose City Results and Flyer's Hip X-Ray

We had a great time at the Rose City Classic in Portland this last weekend.  Mantra was entered all 4 days, Crescent was entered on Thursday and Friday, and Flyer was entered Saturday and Sunday.  Thursday and Friday Mantra was first in her 6-9 puppy class (of one) but nothing further.  Crescent showed very well and Thursday and Friday but there were some great dogs there.  No placements for him.  Saturday came and there was competition in Matra's class.  Mantra took 2nd that day.  Flyer showed great!  He ended up receiving WD and BOW.  WB was the puppy who beat Mantra and went on to be awarded BOS.  On Sunday Flyer showed well again but it wasn't his day.  He took second in his class.  Mantra was awarded first in her class and went on to take RWB!  So proud of my puppy!

This puts Flyer at 13 points (I think) with one major.  Just one more major and he will be finished!

Here is the cell phone version of his win photo from Saturday.

I also had a photo of Mantra done since this is her biggest win, or near win, yet and I have no show photos of her.

Today we took Flyer in and had his x-rays done for his PennHip rating.  We will have the results in 2-4 weeks.  Unfortuntally the PennHip vet doesn't have digital X-Rays but I did take a photo of the one view with my cell phone.  Any thoughts?
