Lovely Luna

Super photos of Luna enjoying her life. 

Looking at her she could too have had a wonderful career in the show ring. 

Critique from City Of Birmingham Champ Show

MPB (3) 1 Stanley’s Blanik Ivana, nice baby of 8 months, clean looking with pleasing head, eye, ear, muzzle & mouth. She had a good forehand & pleasing rear, super shapely frame & correct tailset & carriage. She was in excellent coat & condition & showed a pleasing profile outline & she moved & showed well; 2 Smedley’s Samphil’s Barina, taller more upstanding, shorter in body & longer in thigh. She had a nice head & expression, deep brisket, shapely body & was put down in excellent coat although not the substance or quality of winner.

Can't complain about that can I!!!!

Some Of The Pups At 4 Weeks

I'm very confused this morning - all 10 of the puppy photos were on Facebook last night. I saw them and commented ... this morning I can only find the 5 sent to me on messenger! Hopefully I can add the others later ... these are navy, pale blue and orange. With pink girl and purple on the bottom.

Well Done Baby Dog

I'm over the moon, we just had a great day at Anglesey Canine Society's show. Sammi was Best Puppy In Breed and Mikey Best Of Breed.
They both then went on to win their afternoon variety classes leaving them both as unbeaten dog/puppy. Mikey gave his best performance of the day in the best in show ring and was shortlisted to the final cut ... but it was not to be. Sammi did brilliantly and made it almost to the top being Reserve Best Puppy in show. (Official photos to follow!) Her behaviour as ever, impeccable in the ring.
And Mikey? Well at my expense he gave everyone a giggle!

Decisions Decisions

Dexi - Still the top Winning "Blanik"

Though I try not to think about it, my head is still fluttering from one place to another. I keep thinking of all the reasons for and against bringing in a new baby boy. Friends are not helping with their remarks of "it's meant to be," or "go for it girl!" (You know who you are!) It's a big decision, a hard decision; and I keep remembering how heartbroken I was giving up both the boys in the last litter. Maybe someone, somewhere knew the bigger picture? Haha Now I'm just trying to convince myself.
Last week I went on about black masks ... did Louis have a black mask? No! Did Dexi? No! They both had enough, but with their deep red tan they had the most fantastic heads and expression! All these pups have beautiful deep colours, just to my taste!

Louis- My Mr Amazing

What makes it so hard is that I really had set my heart of mating Jezi in January. The baby girl who was going to stay was going to be called "Ettie" and her registered name was going to be "Blanik Jezebel." Both a play on Jezi's name, as Jezi's registered name is Blanik Hettie ... See? But if I have a puppy then I don't have to cancel this plan, I can simply delay for 12 months, or even reevaluate at a later date. (this is where Sammi's health tests could influence the decision)
Is this a pedigree I want to bring into my kennel? Err ... honestly I'm not looking that far ahead! I hope to continue my line through my girls, if this boy turned out well then yeah I could mate him to Jezi or Ziva, but obviously not Sammi. Honestly I have no conclusion, I'm still plodding on aimlessly looking for answers!
