We are coming to the end of this litter as Hannah and Hunter go home today to Lake County with Diana and Tom. It's been an outstanding litter to work with for Patricia and I. Thanks to all who inquired. We look forward to The Baroness and Einstein's litter to come.

Anton is looking more and more like Einstein. He has a great hop and beautiful hand gestures. In about 7 weeks he will start Conformation training. Anton can start showing at six months, or mid October, in the Puppy Class, for entries 6-9 months of age.

Einstein and Michael win again at the Long Beach Kennel Club and the Beverly Hills KC Shows in Long Beach last weekend. It was truly a weekend not fit for man nor beast as the temperatures were above the century mark. Some class showings were cancelled and many dogs failed to even show up. As a result, what could have been a bounty of points ended up only with only 1 point towards champion. Luckily, no one suffered severely, but it looks like a dangerous summer with the heat being a major factor.

This is the fun stage of puppies - laying on the floor and being mauled by The Pack. Sharp little teeth, fat little tummies, and boundless energy. In and out of the pool and house. Einstein and Greta keep them in line and well exercised as Estee sits on the table out of range of said teeth. The first puppies will start going home next Friday the 20th at 9 weeks. New individual pictures were taken this morning and are posted on Estee and Charles Puppies page.

On these warm summer days, a kiddie swimming pool is great for man and beast. They go in and out at will. Who knows, maybe Sile will take a dip when visiting Logan today.

Not only was today a good day for a dip, but Sile jumped right in and adopted Logan, and he was renamed to Pavlov. Lucky dog.

Einstein and Michael continued their winning ways at Contra Costa Kennel Club Shows in Vallejo June 7,8. The awards Saturday are for second best Bichon Frise Dog and Reserve Winner. The awards Sunday are for Best Bichon Frise Dog, Best of Opposite Sex, and Best of Winners. Plus Einstein collected one more point towards Champion status on Sunday.
