Keeper & GusLitterbox - First Jeepers litter
|
Keeper and Gus are two other littermates from the "KinseyHams" litter. Topper and Teddy are the only two puppies from the KinseyHam litter that we kept - but we stay in close contact with the owners of the other three pups so they feel like they are still part of the family! Keeper and Gus are being shown in conformation by Ronnie, and their owners are training and showing them in Obedience and Rally. Since they are mentioned so often in the News & Updates pages to avoid confusion they have their own page here for reference. |

| Gus's first show! We were all surprised (and pleased!) when Gus went Reserve Winners Dog at his first show in March 2006. He was just 6 1/2 months old. |

Keeper in Futurity at the National At the GDCA National Specialty in Topeka, KS in October, 2006 Keeper went third place in the big 12 to 15 month class of the Futurity! He was just 13 months old. The Futurity is a special part of the National specialty - as the name implies, for Futurity classes the dogs must first be nominated (entered) before they are even born. A second nomination/entry fee is paid before they are 3 months old, and a final fee paid shortly before the National. A breeder or owner can cancel a dog's nomination for Futurity by simply not paying any one of the nomination fees, if the dog doesn't turn out as well as hoped. But the first fee must be paid before the litter is born, which means the breeder really believes the litter will be an excellent one. Keeper was handled at the National for his owner Karen by our dear friend Chantel Johnson, and she did a wonderful job! |
