Who are you? What’s your name?

Well, her name has officially changed.... Jazz is now AKC CH/mRBIS UKC CH Marjani Notaviva.  That's right, baby Jazz has taken the next step in her career, and earned her AKC Championship - finishing with 3 majors.  Good friend, Carolyn Boutchyard, showed her in her last show as an "open bitch" while I was in a class on dog behavior.  I am so thrilled!  Tomorrow, Jazz debuts in as a Special.  Time to work on her

Jazz takes the lead….

As Jazz and Bob duke it out to see who can become the first to reach their Grand Championship in UKC, Jazz steps into the lead with another win yesterday.  Bob could have tied it up, but decided to do a table dance instead of standing for examination.  Dancing doesn't make points with the judges in the show ring!  What are the odds that Bob can scoop up the 2 points he needs? Will Jazz strut her way to victory bef

Jingle is ASFA certified

Tommy and Maddie's daughter, Jingle, earned her ASFA certification this past weekend.  To be certified, Jingle had to chase the lure with another dog.  The "other dog" she ran with was her dad, Tommy!  It was quite the site to see father and daughter chasing the lure -- I would have to say my favorite moment was when chasing the lure "clicked" in Jingle's mind, and she put her ears back and flew past her dad to ge
