WOW! That's quite a list! Some really great dogs there. Ok, folks, I'm curious - Aruba was a great dog but her son, James was even a greater dog then she was. Why does he not turn up in anyone's list besides mine? He was a beauty IMO!
Mine of course but in terms of OTHER peoples dog!! Am. Ch. Daybreak Varsity Jump OS BIS BISS Am/Can Ch Rush Hill's Watz Cook'n Good Look'n SDHF Can & Am OS Ch Br. Ch Pan. Ch Ar Nautilus Fox Mulder BIS Am. CH. Goldwing True Bear OS SDHF Am Ch. Gorca's Free Flying Adventure That's all I can think of right now!!!
I should add, it was a lot of fun to watch Mary and James in the ring too. She would play with him, and he would roll over for belly scratches, and just in general have fun
Did you by chance get to see her at the National in, I think it was Longmont,CO, as a Veteran? She'd been spayed at that point, and her coat literally swept the ground!
I totally agree with you about James, in all respects.
I did consider James a couple of times but never felt I had a girl strong enough where he was weak. I would have loved that head and attitude!!
Longmont was also where I got to see Whirly win the Veteran's Class. And my foundation bitch was in BOB. Her sire was Ch. Freedom's Celebration and her dam was Jayba's Hot Cayenne. A lot of champions came out of those breedings.
We RV's and stayed next Ginger Gotcher and Linda Williard. I have never laughed so hard in all my life. Ginger had a hilarious story about getting lost and going in to a donut shop in the area, only to discover when she went inside it was a topless donut shop :doh:
Oh, well I had never gotten to see Aruba in person as I got into the conformation ring at the same time James was showing. I remember his beautiful head and always loved to see his wins when he would take his ribbon and strut around the ring with it! Wish I had had the pleasure of seeing Aruba in the ring
As long as we are on this subject I'd like to ask you all something. You all abviously have shown much more than I have and been in it longer. I used to show my Dakota and at a show I was approached by a handler and he asked if I would consider letting him show Dakota. He lived near us so I placed Dakota with him. Hubby never agreed to this arrangement but I was happy so he was happy. Several things happened that we were not too thrilled with and I'd just like an honest opinion about this handler. You can PM me with it if you don't want to say here. His name is Stan Motsomoto
She was fabulous. Jean Von Barby is a wonderful woman, and a good friend. Not to mention one helluva trainer. I really like her, and had no voice for a WEEK after her Minnie (bred by my friends the Lauderdales) went BOS from the Hunting Retriever Bitch class at the 2006 National in KC. It was AWESOME, and Jean was so humbled. NICE lady.
Ash, I just checked out your website. Your dogs are stunning! And I especially like your "puppy questionaire" particularily the "no shock collar" requirement. That's a pet peeve of mine. Shock collars and goldens are just down right wrong.
Thanks for the comments on my dogs. Some may say I am picky about the puppies I perfer particular. I like your Dusty I have looked at him on several occasions he is a cutie.
Ash, well you just keep on being particular then! It's breeders like you that help the cause. We try to keep an eye on Dusty's pups too, although we didn't have a say in who they were sold to but for the most part, the owners are very good and have given the pups excellent homes.
I showed my hubby your website and he really enjoyed seeing your bitches as I did. Having bred with his mom back in the 60's, he's got a very good eye and was quite impressed with your program.
Have you seen Dusty in person then? In Alberta maybe, or do you come into BC for shows sometimes?
Awww thats so nice to hear. You get in what you put in and with effort and try you get results. Dusty is pretty but I have not seen him in person. Right now because my dogs are so youngf I have shoiwed only to finish but hope to special my girl this winter as she is pretty ready. I do look forward to venturing into BC this spring or perhaps next year sometime. I do want to finish Kali in the US and possibly Dancer its just a little early to tell on her. Talk soon.
I just learned that one of the dogs in my Top 10 list went to the bridge today.

Weezer was truly a special girl, and ever the show dog, whether she was in the ring as a puppy or a veteran.
I'm so sorry to hear that...I'll pray tonight...and keep her in my thoughts...
