Gibbs Gets BOV at Longview

It's been a while since we've been in the show ring at Longview, but the absence was made all the fonder by Gibb's success. Here he is, keeping a strong paw on his BOV and Group 2 rosettes in the Owner Handler series.

Ruby Finds a New Home

Our 9-month-old puppy Maggical Ring of Fire (Ruby) has just been placed with Kat Patrick in the Austin, Texas, area.

Kat has recently moved from England, bringing with her a couple of English Toy Terriers. One of them unfortunately passed away soon after arriving, so she was looking for a companion for her 2-year-old little girl.

It turns out that the pedigree of Kat's dog, Bonnie, includes our own Maggical export, Am Ch A Sorcerer's Tale of Maggical Paws at Amalek who we sent over to the UK in 2005. "Merlin" is her great-grandfather on one side, and great-great-grandfather on the other.

Now Ruby and her new friend Bonnie are having a grand time "larking about together" (a British term for playing around).

Here's a great photo of them. Notice the difference between Bonnie's very English-style head on the left, and Ruby's classic American head on the right.
