Patricia Craige Trotter Seminar

March 9, 2010

This weekend gone by, we attended the Patricia Craige Trotter seminar in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia.  We went with our friends from Medway Collies, Wildbrook Labs and CuSithe Corgis.  We all had a great time and learned A LOT!!!!  One thing in the world of dog showing and breeding that you soon find out is that you never stop learning!!  It doesn't matter if you have been in this for 5 years or 45 years, there is always something new to learn.  It's nice to be able to go to these seminars and learn from people who have such a vast amount of knowledge and experience.  I would recommend this seminar to anyone regardless of how long they have been into breeding purebred dogs!

Obedience Classes

February 23, 2010

This week is week 3 of Lexa and Quarry's obedience classes.  They are having  a great time and are making all kinds of new doggie friends...and people friends too:)  There is a shiloh shepherd at class and the first week she wanted to play sooo badly but she is so much larger than all of the other dogs that no one wanted to play with her...well no one except for Lexa!!!!  Once the other dogs saw Lexa playing with Sable then they knew that she was all right and then they played with her too.  ...

"Ruger"

February 15, 2010

On February 5th, our newest addition arrived from Thornapple Aussies in Michigan,USA.  A beautiful red factored black tri boy...Ruger!!  We picked Ruger up from the airport, opened his crate and he jumped right into our laps!  Ellen from Thornapple told us that Ruger is the sweetest boy ever and she was not exaggerating at all!!!!  Ruger is so good natured and easy going, it did not take him long to fit in with his new family.  We are very happy that Ruger now calls Novacoast his home!!

End of Another Month

February 2, 2010
Wow, January seemed to have flown by!!!!  We had a busy month, as usual, but always lots of fun!! 

We ended the month with another litter evaluation at Wildbrook kennels on January 29th.  This was a re-evaluation of one of the litters that we did 2 weeks ago, they are now 8 weeks old.  It is amazing how much the puppies have changed in just 2 weeks!!! 

On the 30th we travelled to South Rawdon, along with Gerald Dagley from Wildbrook Kennles, to a handling seminar held by Allison Foley.  We al...
