Catch up time

BUBBA

Hi All,

I have been remiss in my posting. First off, Sandra and Norman sent me updated pictures of Poppy's puppies, which I had not gotten posted.

Then, we have to follow up with pictures of Billy Bob & Molly's son, Bubba, who came to visit his family for the weekend and get a groom while his Mum took a little trip. Bubba has sure grown up in the last 2 months. He is now a young gentleman. Especially after his trim. We think we might bring him out to some shows with his Dad this winter. I didn't want to let him go home today to his Mum. We all enjoyed having a baby in the house again. And, the fact that he is a very CHEEKY CHAP, sure didn't help. He is sooo cute.

Also, big congratulations to Billy & Miss Pie on their qualifying for Crufts at the Scottish KC Show today.

Hugs & Slurps from the USA,

Bizzy day not just a terrier show
we start with 'hole digging'




5 teams this year,the idea is to dig a hole so a plastic barrel about 3' tall 2'wide will fit in.





they are off. 5 mins to dig as deep as they can.After 2 mins i was knacked just watching





It was a dead heat between these two teams,so after a 5 min rest they had 2 1/2 min to decide the winner.
Why do they do this?.Well they get a comp mug each stuffed with 100quid and all the carling larger they can drink
They second two lads won but not only that they were defending champs from last year






A working meerkat keeping an eye out for airborne predators




They did not have far to look as this lot was next to them





Uncle Keith keeping an eye on Minnie and Colin




All done and its back to the caravan for a well earned powernap a spot of supper and chill out with a "FEW" bottles ready for the 7 hour drive home the next day.

Well thats it from Wales,next show is a KC show in scotland,some how i do not think it is going to be anywere near as good as a working show.

JOHNNY NEW TITLE

DAIMLER NEW TITLE

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Nancy's post to me:

Well Daimler was terrific yesterday and got his Open Jumpers title-(OJP)--he is having so much fun--I'll I can do is smile!

Here he is wearing his title and placement ribbons--(don't get excited about the hairdo--I wet him down before he runs so he doesn't overheat)

I am not sure if I sent the one of Johnny before--but I thought they make great bookends as they sit on the "throne" wearing their title ribbons (Johnny's pic was when he won his Excellent title (AX)--


Hi All,

I am just getting loads of great news today about the Bedlington family. These pictures are from Nancy Kostaliba , who lives in the state of Pennsylvania, USA. These two boys are littermates from a litter grandsired by one of my old Champions, Ch. Marikov Sam I Am. That would make them Ancesters of Billy’s Miss American Pie & Harley and Bud that you have seen on here, with their catch of the day, the possum.

Nancy has done us all proud with these 2 boys, by first getting their conformation championships and then taking them into performance classes here in the states. Both obedience and agility.
The boys will both be 12 years old this next spring. And, they are both still competing in performance events and loving every minute of it. And, showing the world that Bedlingtons are smart enough to do just about anything that they and their owners enjoy doing together.
Huge CONGRATULATIONS to Nancy, Diamler & Johnny!!!!!!! Thank you for doing the Bedlington community proud.

Quiet Weekend

Here are the boys!


Here is the whole gang!

Hi All,


Well, I have not heard word one from Billy & the girls. Hope they are having fun and doing some winning, too.



I did get a nice post this morning from Sandra & Norman, with a pictorial update on Poppy's puppies! (Try saying that 3 times in a row!) They are getting to the CUTE stage now, and will soon be at the lots of work stage for Sandra & Norman. When the growls start, and the bouncing and tumbling. I love that stage, even if it is more work. Love to watch them try to run and fall over their own feet, grab one another in play fight mode and just be devilish little puppies. That is what keeps me breeding from time to time, even when I have to face a setback or heartbreak. Uncle Billy Bob is very proud!



As always,



Mary Lou & The Woofs

Groom day

Miss Molly playing cool


Billy Bob & Molly, the shadows

Well, for what it is worth, the kids all got groomed today. HAH! Like they care. It was immediately out the door to play in the wet grass and roll and tumble. Oh well, I guess they are happy kids. But, they are shadows of one another. When you see one of them, you see the other. Billy Bob definitely knows that Molly is his girl.

It will be a quiet weekend, as Billy is off to Wales for a show with the working girls and I am off the Lake WALES, US to groom dogs for the weekend. I will be back on Sunday and Billy will be back on Monday. I expect to see some win pictures on Monday night! Go git um Minnie & Colin.

Mooching Minnie
