BOW and we are past the halfway mark for his CH!

So it looks like we are...very very theoretically looking to use Kevin as a stud sometime in the future. He’s about halfway to his CH, all health clearances done, and his breeder really loves him, so he’s going to look and see if he can find a girl for him. (He can’t use any of his own bitches because they’re all his half sisters, lol.)

I don’t even know if I’d get a Kevin puppy since three dogs is probably too much, but it’s exciting!

time to water the garden!

Sorry about no show news lately- the show season around here doesn’t really pick up until the fall. In the meantime I’ve taken Kevin off Inflight, so I’ll post some updates about my Naked Care stuff as soon as his coat starts blowing.

Was so busy I forgot to post this but Hugo turned 1! Happy birthday little buddy, and here’s to the future!

Kevin was almost Friday or Laddie, yikes. No one could agree on a name for Hugo before we brought him home but when I figured out what his registered name would be I just picked the name out myself. And everyone liked it!

What were your dog’s original names? Or other name options?

If you know!

River was named Star by her breeder.

Charlie was named Buster by the shelter.

I got to name the rest, but some options for each were:

Timber was very nearly Winter. I didn’t want to use Timber as I had a rat prior with that name, but I’m glad I decided to go with it! Winter doesn’t roll off the tongue that well imo so I’m glad I didn’t keep it.

Luka was Luka from the beginning (from Russian belukha for the beluga as he looked like a little beluga whale as a puppy, which comes from belyi meaning white). It’s perfect.

Loki was almost… Pogo (omg 😂😂😂) or Fields (which I still really like but wouldn’t fit him at all)

Kiba was Grimm for a long time but I just liked Kiba better!

Future possible dog names:

Red husky (unlikely to happen as I’m not a big fan of red huskies but I had this picked out a while just in case) named Brix

Black husky named Cinder

Blue merle Aussie or Dobie named Saia

My breeder uses paint instead of collars but Kevin was blue hip boy and Hugo was black hip boy I think.

Which colour collars did ur puppies have when they were small, if you know? Bobas was orange 🧡

None of the other class dogs showed up but Kevin got a point for BOW/BOS (and Hugo just came along to hang out.) I know he looks super enthusiastic here but don’t be fooled, it’s only because his breeder is handling him and he LOVES him.

Hugo: chased the water from the hose and ran around for hours

Kevin: fetched a ball two whole times

So never kick a dog Because it’s just a pup You’d better run for cover when the pup grows up!

It’s Hugo’s first Barricade Day!
