Evaluating Derry - Stuart puppies at eight weeks old

The puppies have been examined by the cardiologist, orthopedist and general vet. All passed all exams with flying colors. Now Sharon, Tracy and I graded the litter on Thursday, March 24. We are very excited about the entire litter. Notice the natural tails...hopefully we will see these puppies at future Crufts show.

Wonderful Week! New puppies, seeing old friends and fun dog shows

As usual things have been busy at Shaireabs-Bayleigh Welsh Terriers. Helen had 5 puppies, 3 girls and 2 boys on Friday. Sharon and I have been in Louisville, KY at the Welsh Terrier Club of America floating speciality. Sharon and Jennie, Shaireab's Bayleigh Maid of Honor, were Best in Sweepstakes today. Jennie was also Best of Winners on Thursday for a 5 point major. We are very proud of our puppy girl. Not only did we have a successful weekend, Darla, Shaireab's Bayleigh Just Watch Me, was also winners bitch on Friday for a 5 point major, but it was nice to spend the weekend with our friends other parts of the country.

Josh is going to Europe!!!!

Watch for Josh to make a SPLASH when he arrives in Europe. GCH Shaireab's Celyn I Kid You Not will be taking a grand tour of Europe. Our friend and co breeder Mat Smeets of the Netherlands will be his tour guide.

The two Amigos at one of my favorite local spots on Hilton Head Island

Sharon and I enjoying lunch at Amigos. Lunch was good as I had remembered (from 10 years ago). Notice the wall in the background. Locals contribute old license plates for wall decorations. Somehow two of my old plates from 2000 made it to the wall. One says 4RDOG and the other is one of my son's plates when he was a student at Ole Miss. It has his initials DLB with the Ole Miss Rebel (which is too light to see in the photo)

Hilton Head Island Dog Show March 5 and 6

As I was turning into the dog show I shot a picture of the sign from in my car...not very good at planning ahead. I lived on Hilton Head for over 20 years, so this little dog show is always fun to attend. Beautiful location (I would encourage spectators and exhibitors to come to this show) great restaurants, incredible beaches, nice hotels, lots of golf courses, tennis, etc. We had a fun relaxing weekend!
