All of Angelika's puppies from her September '09 litter have gone to new homes and, by all reports, are doing fine. The last of the puppies to leave, the one we called Ellie but who is now called Izzy, has gone to a great new home. Izzy's new owners have sent us quite a few photos and several videos. It's great when we get to see our puppies grow up!

The newest member of our canine family is Zed, a Berger Picard. (We seem to gravitate toward the unusual breeds, don't we?) Since Berger Picards are not fully recognized by AKC yet, we have been showing Zed in UKC shows. Unfortunately, there aren't nearly as many UKC shows in our area, so we (mostly Leanne) have done quite a bit of driving to get to these shows. In the last couple of months, Leanne has taken Zed to shows in Tulsa, Minneapolis and Richmond, Indiana, racking up a few thousand road miles on the old van. Here's a picture of Zed. He's a real cutie.
