Mage took 1st Breeder/Handler in Show2 on Day2,  she did take reserve in best female of variety out of total of 3 dogs though so she is being seen 😀

Cedrick got Male Breeder/Handler picks due to lack of competition but didnt do anything in the best male of variety ring.

Our picardy puppy, Farrah, took Best Puppy in Show out of about 20 puppies Friday night.  That was our biggest win of the weekend 🙂

Still puppies and still learning.  Our next show is Easter weekend in Athens, TN

Lament of a Stud Dog

Lament of a Stud Dog

My job is making puppies,
and I get two tries at that.
They pat me and tell me “Good Boy”
and that’s the end of that.

It’s half my job to give them teeth,
and top lines, fronts and other.
Remember, it’s only half my job-
they also have a mother.

It’s not my job to carry pups
and make them grow or to nurse them.
And feed and clean and make them strong.
That’s for mother and a person.

It’s not my job to wean them
and feed them calcium and food,
And stack and gait and housebreak
and make them show or brood.

It’s not my job to plan the breeding,
and learn what produces well;
to study pedigrees, learn what’s there,
and pick out what will sell.

It’s not my job to guarantee champs,
the breeder picks the pair.
To make and whelp and feed and show
and hope that champ is there.

It’s not my job to be on hand
when points are given out;
The breeders, owners, dam and friends
take all the credit with a shout.

It’s not my job to deliver a winner
It’s only genes I sell,
But let those puppies turn out bad,
and guess who catches HELL!
