This weekend marked an exciting start to the specials careers of two wonderful dogs! On Saturday in Montgomery Alabama, “Hunter” - CH Raindance Tebo Zardetto, at 13 months old, picked up his first Best of Breed win as a special! Hopefully the start of many great things for this young dog and his owner/handler Alicia.

Additionally, “Cassio” - CH Raindance Hello Darkness - made his 2nd appearance in the specials ring, came away with Best of Breed under Jean Fournier and then went on to take a very competitive Group 3rd under judge Murrel Purkhiser! Cassio will be shown selectively throughout the rest of the year, we are very excited!

The Cloud x Aslan litter has arrived! On 3/20 Cloud became the new mom of 2 boys (seal irish and blue fawn irish) and one girl (red & white). Can’t wait to see how these guys grow up

Raindance Tebo Zardetto is now a NEW CHAMPION! Hunter finished today after going back-to-back Best of Winners in York PA this weekend, picking up his final 4 points. Hunter finished exactly 1 week after his sister Merci, and both pups finished at the age of 12 months with 3 majors. Way to go Hunter & Alicia!

Raindance Mercier finished her championship today at the Monticello Kennel Club 3/14 show Merci makes Champion #10 bred by Raindance. Way to go!

More information coming soon, but we have a litter due March 2010 between Aslan (Raindance A Shot In The Dark) and Cloud (Retaggio Crown Fire). Please email me for more information.

Lots of brags for January!
