Duncan is going not only to acclimate him to the atmosphere of a dog show but also because the club is holding a fun match on Friday night. It'll be his first "show" experience and I hope he'll think it's a good time. He usually thinks anything involving treats is a positive experience. His litter brother, Jimmy (we called him Gus) will be there also. I think they will enjoy playing together again.

I also received some nice email from two families who have Rafe and Maggie's three puppies. It is hard to believe those puppies will be six months old on June 3rd. Wow...that time went fast!
Ella's owner wrote, "Ella's paper work arrived yesterday. Thank you so much! We can hardly believe she will be six months old, doing great, and a real joy with such a wonderful personality. Her new playmates are Etta and Lola our vet's Brussels Griffon pair and they are so fun to watch together. Congratulations on Rafe! What an accomplishment!!!!"

On the left is the photo they sent of Ella! Look at those long eyelashes!
Mallory's owners wrote, "We just wanted to share a picture of Mallory!! You talked about the "don't like having my pictured taken" gene that Walker and Rafe have - I think Mallory inherited the gene. We have tried numerous times to get a picture to send to you, but she just doesn't like having her picture taken! We get many compliments on how cute she is, and our groomer commented today on what a beautiful coat of hair and what a sweet disposition she has!! She's a sweetie!! She's still a little jumping bean!! Just wanted to add how much we enjoy your blog - love seeing the pictures as well as reading the information you provide about the breed!! Thanks for making our life better by giving us our Mallory!!…One more note about our groomer, Jackie - Jackie and her mother have been in the business of breeding (cocker spaniels and poodles), showing and grooming dogs for over 48 years…So, my point in relating this information is she has the many years of experience to know and appreciate a beautiful dog when she sees one. She says Mallory is just an angel and took to the grooming route right away! Our veterinarian has also commented on Mallory's beautiful coat and her sweet disposition. She is a hit with everyone around here!! As a breeder, you should be proud!!"

I also heard from Snicker's owners. He is Mallory and Ella's litter brother. "Here is our boy that we love so much. He's been good and always makes us smile. He's just so cute and has become a mommy's boy. He follows me all around the home. He also loves when he hears the boys' bus and sits by our glass door and waits for the boys to play. It's so cute. He gets up with Craig every morning and enjoys a tiny treat when Craig makes his lunch. Hope you're well and hope your enjoying the nice weather." This little guy reminds me so much of his sire, Rafe. His face, color, coat, expression are all "Rafe."

The new puppies are doing well. Eyes are open and they are becoming more active, trying to get up on their feet a bit. The pictures below were taken when they were two weeks and two days old. As you know by now, we enjoy taking and sharing pictures of our puppies. However, I have started to wonder, given Rafe's obvious dislike of having his photo taken, if we turned him "off" regarding photography sessions because he had so many taken when he was young? These three were awakened from naps to have their pictures taken. You can see that they were not exactly thrilled to have their sleep interrupted!
