Here is Merlin at his first show in Canada and what a great job he did!  Merlin is out of Am/Cdn Ch. Thimble Farm Maid of the Mist and sired by Ch. Rivergroves Kiss Me I’m Irish.  Merlin is owned by Trudy O’neill.

Hello everyone, guest blogger Ross here (Valerie’s son).  I just wanted to post some photos of our Pyrs out here in Colorado.  Enjoy!

This is Boo! – CH Thimble Farm See No Evil – giving us a good look with his gentle eyes.

Here is a picture of Pepper and Zilla during Valerie’s visit to our house in early February.  This is a cool picture of the different coat types and color this breed can express.  Pepper is a smooth faced fawn, while Zilla is a rough faced, demi-long brindle merle.

Here are some cute Pyr themed onesies!  Iron on fabric and some creativity developed these.

Big news!  Pepper, Ch. La Brise Renardette, has accomplished another first!  She was the first Smooth Faced Pyrenean Shepherd Champion in the U.S. and now she has taken a Herding Group 3 at the Erie Kennel Club Dog Show in Erie, PA, on Saturday, January 30.  This makes her the first Smooth Faced Pyrenean Shepherd to take a regular group placement in the U.S.!!

Thanks to all who voted for Jack as the cutest dog ever in South Carolina.  He earned the top spot on the cover of the 2010 calendar put out by the Post and Chronicle.  As you can see, he is the cutest ever!

They grow so fast and right before our very eyes!  Here is CJ in New Jersey who is now a graduate!

Another Champion!  Everyone is so proud of our adorable impish Coco.  She will be handled at Westminster in February by 11-year old Lauren Hull of Leroy, New York.  They will be the cutest team ever!

Luna was once a little puppy..

And then she grew to be a big beautiful girl!

Here are two Pyrenean Shepherds waiting to go into the show ring at Fitchburg, Mass.  These are great examples of both the smooth and rough faced varieties.

Merlin lives in Canada and is heading for the show ring.  He is out of Am/Cdn Ch. Thimble Farm Maid Of The Mist and sired by Ch. Rivergroves Kiss Me I’m Irish.  Watch for him in the ring!
