Congratulations to our very own Behnina upon winning her 1st adult Reserve Best In Show at NAKC's Rhode Island Classic in March 2010 !  What a thrill to have brought our special girl into the world and to earn such lofty rewards--Thank you to Judge Marjorie Fish for bestowing this honor on us and on Nina !  What a great weekend it was, as on the Puppy Front, Esabella, (along with her proud parents), a beautiful pup from our recent litter, won TWO Herding Group One Ribbons in the Puppy Class, and went into TWO Puppy Best In Show lineups, only to be beaten by a nice little Coton de Tulear pup--Ah well. 
And these were her VERY FIRST conformation shows--WOW, we'll be seeing more of you to be sure, lovely Bella !

We would like to congratulate two wonderful D-Girls on their recent accomplishments in this new decade, 2010.

Herdabout Dahlia dell' Albera has passed her family obedience class training with flying colors, and is now em-"bark"-ing on her newest venture, HERDING training, at the end of February !  Oh, won't little Dolly be in her glory then--and she, of the whole D-litter, showed the most herding instincts of all the bunch--
we are sure she will have much acclaim in her new endeavor ! 

Herdabout Diva dell Albera (aka "Lola") now has the fabulous "CGC" letters to add to her name--in a recent news flash we have learned that she earned her Canine Good Citizenship Title--way to go, Lola!  Also, she is certain to be FAMOUS in very short order, as her professional photo will be prominently displayed in the store window on Lexington Ave. in NYC--
how exciting !  

Stay tuned for more details and photos soon--GO "D"-LITTER DOGS !
