We are approaching the 4wk evaluation timeframe. Things happen fast in the large dog show world. We shall see if there is a mild/moderate/or high hope for 2 show potential females. I suspect Irina wants a show female for herself and not a male.

I've not heard from her since the litter announcement, and I am on tenderhooks. My hubby is agog with excitement. He wants another female so very badly!. Well I do too truth be told.

I hope so much hope against all probabilities that there will be one. I am holding back on so much; contact the two show handlers I would entrust my gal with to say we have one on the way. Buying innumerable toys for teething and puppy raising. Booking Thanksgiving holiday vacations for 3dogs including one puppy. I have already pruned out our various crates and holding off on buying more.... As well as pet beds for crates, for home, etc, etc. New show leads, collars, training leashes and collars.

The list is endless lol lol I already have my trainers in place. Of course all the grooming equipment, and just today went through all my shampoos and conditioners to see what I have, what I might need for puppy coat growth et al. And yes I do have still the puppy nail clippers, the puppy shampoos and conditioners.

You know many show breeders don't speak about the delicate and short time frame of what needs to be done, to bring a dog to show CH. It is a whole lot of things. From training, to testing, to showing All done with in a 2 - 2.5 year time frame. It is a dance of timing and doing.

We have to plan show arenas, show handlers, training, testing etc.

But God it is so very exciting to embark upon the promise once more of a show gal.
