It has been quite a while since I last updated. That was mostly because of a lack of news. Well, this summer and fall that has changed and there are many good things to blog/brag about. First, in July Glenarrif had THREE new champion boys!! This was an awesome accomplishment and made me very proud. Chipper, CH. Glenarrif's Man on Third finished, after a very quick show career. His brother, Andruw, finished the following day at the same circuit. Andruw is now CH. Glenarrif's Fielder's Choice. Probably one of my happiest wins came in July also. Sent to a perfect pet home in CA needing one point, Trooper was a dog I never expected to finish. However, thanks to the love, wonderful conditioing, and tenacity of his owners it happened. Trooper is now CH Glenarrif's Army of One. This is even more sweet because his championship was a surprise for one of his owners who is currently serving his country in Afghanistan. Way to go Trooper and lots of love and thanks to Adam and Maribel!!!!! Misty from the Olympic litter is now CHAMPION Glenarrif's What About Me. Misty finished in record time thanks to being shown by someone other than me! So, I guess four new champions in a short period of time is something to write about; especially when I do not breed many litters to start with!!
There is also lots of good news from the "Blessings" litter. Kelsey, Glenarrif's Bless You, owned by Alnee and Andy Baldwin and me, went Best Puppy at a dachshund speciality in VA at the tender age of six months. Mo, Glenarrif's Blessing In Disguise, owned by my family, won Winners Dog for his first point from the 6-9 class under well-respected Pat Trotter. Not to be out done by his sibs our Alaskan blessing, Glenarrif's Hawaiian Blessing, owned by Vikki McConnel and me, was WD/BOW/BOS for three points!! Congrats to these dogs and their awesome owners!
