Congratulations to the Sherman family! Designer's
Izzy passed her Canine Good Citizen test and her Therapy Dogs International title!
WAY TO GO IZZY!
We had a nice summer! We had several
litters of some very cute puppies, visits from family and friends, and we added a new Canadian Champion to our pack!

Family from Ohio came for a visit. Niece
and nephew Ashley and Ryan enjoyed time with the puppies! Ashley, having a natural nack with a camera, did a great
job with her photos of the puppies!
The pups had fun playing with
the younger crowd! This pup thought:
"Nice sneakers!"

Addie, a young friend from Pennsylvania who
has two Designer Labradors, came to see what it is like to live at a dog kennel! She was a great help with the puppies,
and has a very natural and good hand with them. She trained a young dog for the conformation show ring. She and
Chisel made their debut at the Ballston Spa Dog Show Circuit in August. Addie did an extremely nice job showing
Chisel!

It was great having Addie here. She was
extremely helpful, lending a hand in all the chores! One pup needed to be bottle fed while she was here. Addie
was a main provider of this little pup, doing a great job with his care. Addie even had a chance to fix us a wonderful
dinner one evening! It was a busy week, with puppies, photo shoots, and getting ready for five days of dog shows!
I sure hope she will come again next year!
