November 2008

We don't have alot of news. We have not been to any shows so we don't havve any brags either.  Winter is here ! We already have a ton of snow.  Anya is closing in on her 2 year mark. In January we  are driving down to have her hips and elbows x-rayed and then sent to OFA. Time has gone by so fast ..........almost too fast!  Hopefully we get the resullts we are hoping for.   Until then we are looking forward to the holiudays.... Anya and odin will get to see causin Cooper the Cocker spaniel......and there will be doggy presents under Gramma O'Brien's tree for sure!

2009

Well Happy new year to all! We are so proud to announce that the final points have been calculated for best dog in a  Canada. This is calculated by CKC breed points (group placements)

At the tender age of 15 months Anya won 4 group placements. Two group 2nd and two group 3rd.

We have not really showed her since then but we managed to make the top 10 as #10! We are very proud of her! Anya is our first "show dog" .......it just proves you can do anything you set your mind to, especailly when you have a great dog at the end of your show lead.  Many thanks to Patrina and Dave for  placing Ms.Anya with the O.B's . We would also like to thank Anya's Gramma Kathy Reid for all her help and advice. Although Kathy is in a handling league of her own......she is always helpful and kind to others. Thank you to Kathy's daughter Jen and son-in -law Ron for all of their help as well.  Anya's Daddy Fred was ranked at #5 but we all know he would have been higher on the list if he had come out more. Congratulations to all the winners.  We look forward to showing in the new year !

Well January 30th We took Anya down to Nobleton to have her hips and elbows x-rayed. She was such a good girl........I was so relieved when the vet told me everything looks good! OfA should have the results posted anytime now.....so we may possibly have a CHIC  bloodhound!  The Canine Health Information Center, also known as CHIC, is a centralized canine health database jointly sponsored by the AKC/Canine Health Foundation (AKC/CHF) and the Orthopedic Foundation for Animals (OFA).
Only dogs passing all  required health clearances are given this title.

Other than that we have all been waiting for winter to be over.......it's getting old now.  There are many exciting things that will hopefully happen this spring. We are going ahead with our plans to breed Anya , as well as welcomming a new bloodhound baby to the O'Brien Family.  Once spring rolls around we will have plenty of interesting news and stories for all of you.....

If you have not seen the westminster bloodhounds you should check out all the wonderful bloodhounds they had this year.  I really do wish the bloodhounds had a larger ring to perform in but some of those handlers still do a wonderful job! take a look here!

We are proud to report that Jereth toook a puppy Group 1st at our local show's Sanction match. He did so well.  We believe it is very important to have early experiences like this, so far Jereth seems to never meet a stranger.....some say he is bulletproof!  I believe he is going to be a natural at ahowing, so far he seems to love every minute of it!  Here are some photos. He is too cute!

Anya is in Season! We are leaving tomorrow. We will not know for at least 3.5 weeks if there are puppies bt we are hopeful. To the peoiple on our list, we will let you know as things progress. I am a ball of nerves Cross your fingers for us and please wish us luck!



Anya Update April 27th (day 17)

I'm sure all of you are anxiously waiting to hear news......SO AM I.......LOL Anya is doing well, Our trip was good....the procedure went well....

In another week or so I may know......Unfortunately there are no quick pregnancy tests for dogs.......we must wait until at least day 28 to do an ultrasound......If there are puppies we do an x-ray at day 45 for the count!  We are being hopeful but nature has its own plans at times....

How can 2 years fly by so fast but  now 3 weeks seems like an eternity? LOL.  Is she Glowing?
