Headed Home

Just over a year ago Carver came home from Germany. Along with him Myrjam brought two of his daughters. Betty was a pretty black tri who later went on to FL to live, and Shine stayed with me. Although Carver had sired many wonderful pups overseas I had not used him for stud here in the US prior to his trip to Germany. So Shine was my first offspring of this great boy "Carver". Needless to say we were quite excited to have little "Shine" here with us!

This was Mryjam with Carver and his two daughters!! (Talk about CUTE!!)

Well here is Shine and her 'old man' now....

Sadly (and not so sadly) Shine will soon part company with her father and head home to Germany. Shine's paperwork to get into the AKC turned into a nightmare that was not looking good. Shine's brother is doing fabulous in Europe showing ... and with that big FLUFFY tail of hers Shine will fight an uphill battle here in the showring. So we felt it was best for her to head home to her 'native' land of Germany!

I am going to miss the little "light" ... but in the end I know it is the best for both kennels. I had tears in my eyes as I gave her a bath to ready her for her trip!!

Weekend Wins

I had a very tough week this past week. For that reason I chose to stay home from the local ASCA show. (it was hard to stay home but I did).

Meanwhile, the PlumRidge Pooches (or those related to our guys) were out there doing great things!!!

At the UKC show in Michigan on Friday March 12th, "Ike" (Tailor x Tanner pup) took 1st in the Champions class at the first show and BEST OF BREED in the second show!

Good job STACIE AND IKE!!!

Above is a beautiful Carver son. This pup is from the Sunnycreek Aussies breeding of "Carver to Peach". He resides in Germany. He took a Reserve Winner's Dog over a large entry at an ASCA show in Germany!!

GOOD JOB to all!!!

I am very grateful to all the great news over the weekend!! It sure helped my spirits!! THANKS GUYS!!!

Carver is happy to be home from GERMANY!

Carver had a blast romping and playing in the fields at the farm when he arrived home!!

We are looking forward to him growing a bit of coat back, and getting him back into the showring over here (AKC mostly). He will be 7 years old by the USASA Nationals so we can show him in the veterans class!!

My new girl "Shine"

Here are more photos of my new Carver daughter "Shine" (Plumridge Sunnycreek Reflected Sun). I am excited about seeing her mature here in the U.S.!!

"what do you mean I am not supposed to have a tail?"

She is a moving 'machine'

Loves to romp and play in the yard!!

She LOVES her Daddy!! Even with all the dogs running in the yard ... she finds him right away and gives him kisses!!
