Puppy Play

Posted by KC on
We are back from the Denver shows (well, actually, yesterday). Tory and I brought Bocelli, Swann, and one of Tornado's babies, Eclipse. Since it was a borzoi specialty, lots of borzoi were there. We didn't win, but each of the 'boyz (and girl) placed 2nd in their respective classes. Each of the classes had at least 6 dogs in them, so although we didn't win, we did good!! I handled Eclipse, and a friend of ours handled Bocelli and Swann during their turns in the ring. Susan's really remarkable handler. Bocelli is barely leash trained, had never been in a show ring before, and certainly had never been in an extremely crowded hall with dogs, people, and noise. But he trotted off with Susan and happily trotted around the ring, looking bright and cheerful. Bocelli was the only red boy in the ring, so he looked extra special (at least to my eye--and it turned out, to the judge to the 2nd degree as well).

Tom will take Tory to Dragon man's today for some shooting lessons and target practice. She claims she's looking forward to the adventure.



Here is our new little Zoiboyz boy. His name is Starswift Lightning Flash at Zoiboyz. Kazan is Flash's granddaddy. Flash is our 2nd Kazan grandson here at the ranch.




This is Flash's playmate, a little Silken Windhound. Silkens look like miniature borzoi--Candy is about as tall as she'll ever get and Flash is only 3.5 month old. Perfect match at this point.




Here's Bocelli--at 8 months, almost all grown up!! He's playing with Swann--and you see on the ground, the old cow skull that's bounced around the family for years. I believe Bop picked it up in Texas. Bocelli (red boy in picture) is the other Kazan grandson. Swann, we hope, will be mama to Kazan's next litter--if she ever comes in season!!
