Our newest family member: Eve!

Quite a delay on this announcement, but in mid-February we brought home a new puppy– Celtic Lore’s Evolution, aka “Eve”.  Bred by and co-owned with one of my closest friends, we waited excitedly for a year for Eve’s litter.  And, 9 months later, I can say that she’s everything I’d hoped for– smart with over

Torro wins OH Best In Show

We started the year without any trips to conformation shows– focusing on other events this year.  But, in March we had two show weekends mostly because Torro’s daughter Pimba that I co-own came to stay with me so I could finish her.  Torro went back into the ring in style, going Select Dog at two
