Last Class and Show News: Gallery Added

I am working on videos last night and photos. They will get up sometime today. Some came out blurry. Think I was paying more to what was happening than my settings but I am putting up the blurry ones as you can see who did what in the blur, I suppose. Sorry about that. I do not usually take videos with my DSLR.

It is bitter cold. Nathan forgot his suit jacket in the garage at 5am. Our pipes seem to be frozen so we are wasting electric heat - well not a waste in hope that this stops us from having burst pipes.

Ella won baby puppy in breed and group this morning. She will be competing for Best Baby Puppy in Show. It means Nathan will be there the entire day as its the last competition. It will be a long day for Inula and Ella and the same for the next 2 days. But we are excited for her wins.

More later with links to the videos and the gallery. It takes a LONG time to get all the videos up.

So here are the videos:

Ella is our pride and joy. We are all proud of Rusty's sister. She has my heart. Thank you Darlah. You really are terrific. Taking all those pictures and videos. We really appreciate it. Nathan you are doing an amazing job. Your training and your professionalism along with the beautiful dogs is very impressive! CONGRATULATIONS!

Yes everyone is either from Roxies litter or Jeannie with the exception of Ragus who we watch from time to time. It was great to have so many havs in the same class.

Thanks as well for the great pics, Darlah. I am going to really miss everyone and so will Patches. Hope to see everyone at the picnic this summer.

Darlah, I really enjoyed those videos! What a great experience these six weeks have been. Abby has learned so much even though she doesn't always want to cooperate in class! She really has a mind of her own. But we will continue to practice at home. And Abby will miss her Havanese friends. Thanks again!

Liz: Each one is unique. Look at Ella - I won't do down. :-) Then smile as they each give you their own unique challenges. If you keep at it though they end up amazing. Plus its fun to have something to share with them.

Great videos! Brings back good memories of puppy training. I am amazed when I look at Ella in the very first video (play before class) how she is glued to Nathan despite the pups playing around her. Well done!
