Puppies, Puppies, Puppies!

It's been a while since we posted any blogs, but we have great news!  We are expecting puppies the first of September.  The parents both have huge wavy coats, fun loving personalities and are pra-free.  The pups will be raised in the home as well as allowed to learn to patrol our forest that backs up to the Continental Divide.  Pups will be imprinted on sheep and birds.  Pups will also be started on show training.  We expect them to be traditional Hungarian type as both parents have imported bloodlines.

Bridger wins a Major!

I neglected to report Bridger, Glacier Creek's Mountain Man, won his first major in Ventura by going Best of Winners over the girls. Judge was Karen McFarlane.

Tezla wins the group in Texas!

Just when you are resigned to the fact she may be the "Cut Queen" on a circuit (she made the cut under Alvin Krause on Friday, but a Group 3 at the Texas Working Group show under Jan Sigler on Wednesday) she pulls off a GROUP 1! Charles Trotter awarded her the Group 1, at one of the biggest, most political shows of the year. (400 working dogs entered). Great job, Monica and Tezla!

New champions to report

Down in Ventura, Giselle, Glacier Creek's Wind in the Willows, achieved her championship from the bred-by class. What makes this especially noteworthy is that Giselle was in the hospital with parvo less than a year ago, not expected to make it. She has turned into a very sweet, elegant young girl. Nonami acheived her Grand Championship and she also had parvo a year ago. Her brother didn't make it so again this achievement is so heart warming. After all the scares and the warnings about vaccines, I was trying a more holistic approach with fewer puppy shots. I won't do that again! I must have picked up parvo on the tires of my van or coyotes brought it across my property since the pups hadn't been anywhere. Four came down with it, three lived. Who knows what Titan could have achieved? I am just happy I saved the ones I did and they are healthy, happy and seem to have no lasting effects. This is one tough breed!

Introducing Farrah, a party of one

If it's possible, Farrah has more mischeviousness and more energy than Tezla. You can see the pensive tilt to her head. So much time, so many problems to cause...Farrah is out of Ch. Glacier Creek's Whispering Wind, "Brenda" and Ch. Cezar Harcos Von De Viersenhoeve. Farrah was a single pup, so because we are so impressed with her type, soundness and attitude, we are going to try Cezar again with Brenda's little sister, Katrina, Ch. Glacier Creek's Catch the Spirit. Both Cezar and Katrina are pra-normal and Katrina has Excellent rated hips.

What a weekend!

Final tally for Tezla and Monica at the Grove, Oklahoma shows Group 2, Group 3 and Group 4, nearly one of each color! Tezla was the only working dog besides the rottweiler to place 3 or more times this weekend (and she beat HIM twice!)
