2008
This year was a slower year for us - as far as puppies. We are concentrating on several performance events as Mae worked on her Junior Hunter title, Sam became a Therapy Dog, and one of the Terriers started training for Agility.
We had one Rat Terrier litter in January from Amber and Tiger.
In addition to these puppies we made the decision to exit breeding Papillons. With this decision we placed Pierre up for adoption. He quickly found a home with Sharon in Milwaukee. We are happy to see Pierre move to a family where he is the little prince that he knows he is. Since both of our female Papillons had to be retired, our breeding program had come to a halt and we felt it was best to place him in a home where he could be the center of attention.
2007
This year was a very busy year. We placed 3 adult dogs in new home. Chalupa was one of our first Rat Terriers. His owner fell on hard times and could not keep him. We found him a great home and is doing well with John and Pam in Central Wisconsin. Earl was a great little boy that we purchased from Rainbowland Papillons in Central Minnesota. We had hoped he would be a good breeding partner for Sophie. Although beautiful, Earl went oversized. He is now living with Lisa and her family in the Milwaukee area. Chloe, our Standard Poodle came to our family before we moved into more breeding. Being the only Poodle here she did not fit into our breeding program. She was a pleasure to work and train. She has a high drive to please and to find birds! In 2007 I decided she would be happier in a home where she is not one of 9 adult dogs and could hunt more than she would here. She now lives with Dan and Beth in the Fox Valley. She is a special dog and I know that she is loved in her new home.

In 2005 we entered our first Hunt Test with Sam. We fumbled and bumbled our way thru most of them but still got 3 ribbons. It was a learning experience for all of us. Sam was able to complete his Started Hunting Retriever title with ease.
