All The Pawsibilities : Once Again...

...I'm awful at keeping up. I keep promising to make it a "thing" but I get so busy it doesn't happen. (Dogs first, y'all!) So quick updates: EMERSON had her first litter of puppies and it was an amazing experience all around, and they are some of the best puppies!! I kept one - her name is GRAYSON. She's full of spunk and love and is a sweetheart. She has beautiful conformation, but is a bit small for the show ring at this time, so she'll be trialing for hunt test titles (hopefully!). Now, I also have another puppy that I got back in the fall, her name is CARSON. She had her show ring debut in Atlanta about a month ago and did pretty well for being one day over turning 6 months! She may also go and get trained in hunt testing, but will also keep being shown in conformation. Her daddy is a champion, so she has quite the shoes to fill!

Emerson & Co. is still up and running. We were doing very, very well in the Raleigh area and then... I moved. I haven't worked as hard to build a client base here in Greensboro, but do still work with some of my Raleigh clients on the weekends. Good news is, that my boyfriend and I will be moving back towards the Raleigh area this summer!

Both LEDGER and DJOLI will be staying with Phoenix Assistance Dogs as breeding dogs (pending health tests, obviously). The program with LEDGER ended up falling through and he has been with them for a while now, and DJOLI will leave me this coming week. She's my beloved shepherd and hopefully the beginning of some amazing shepherd service dog lines, but I know she needs more one-on-one attention than I can give her, so she'll be living with a wonderful breeder caretaker. I will miss her a ton, but it's not fair to her to be one of 10 dogs and not be receiving the training (she gets the attention and exercise) she deserves to keep her brain sharp! It breaks my heart to make this decision, but I know it's best.

I think that is really all for now, hopefully we will have some EMERSON x NASH puppies in May if all goes well with breeding! The first batch was amazing, so I can't wait to see how the second will turn out.

And now... for the pics!
