January 1, 2010

As we enter a new decade, we contemplate the past ten years.  At the turn of the century, Mike and I had not yet met.  Cassie and Sarah were only nine and thirteen years old.  Mike did not have Yngo in his life.  In fact, many of the friends we have now had yet to be introduced.  Looking back, we are amazed and grateful for what the past decade brought us.  Love and a little bit of luck seemed to carry us through the first nine years of this decade and, while the last year presented some challenges, we will be satisfied if life continues to bring us happiness, good friends and well-being 90% of the time going forward. 

So, as we put 2009 behind us, we are pleased to share our very best news... Mike is cancer free, back in action and better than ever!  A special thank you to Becky Dove and Therese White for helping Mike to be properly diagnosed, and Nan Faile for being there for Mike throughout his treatment.  We are forever thankful for the part that each of you has played in our lives.

The girls are doing well and, as always, are a bright spot in our lives.  Sarah and Cory announced their engagement.  The wedding is planned for May.  Cassie is doing well at University and we couldn't be more proud of her.   I have undertaken a new career as a Financial Advisor and am pleased to be back to work after so many years training dogs and running the web design business from home.   

Despite showing quite a bit less in 2009, the dogs are doing well.  The past decade brought us success beyond our wildest dreams, with Mike owner handling his first CH/SchHIII dog and dogs from our breeding program finding success in nearly every venue.  We believe that we have reached a time in our lives in which we are content to watch our puppy owners enjoy their own successes for awhile.  Our plan is to show less in the future while we continue to enjoy our dogs as what they have always primarily been, our companions. 

Our home is still filled with the joy of eight Rottweilers:  Our eldest, Envy, is nearing age twelve.  Close behind her is Yngo at almost eleven (and as wild as ever!) and Iza is now retired at age eight.  In the middle, there is Yngo's daughter, Simone, who thinks she runs this house, and his Australian born grandaughter, Jill.  Iza's daughter, Nova, and grandaughter, Hope round out our pack.   Lastly, we have one of our pups back.  This is a first for us.  Dorlee returned to our home at age five due to extenuating circumstances in her owner's life.  We may eventually choose a new owner for Dorlee but, for now, we are enjoying her company.  Additionally, we own Smooch, who has been spending her time getting ready for the Jr. Handling ring with Haley McCrea.

2009 brought us two lovely litters.  The Y Litter (Axel/Simone) produced eleven outstanding puppies and the Z Litter (Ripley/Nova) gave us six darling babies.  As always, puppy time is a joyous event in our home, as it is a time when so many friends visit.  We enjoyed seeing so many of you this year and thank each of you who stayed to visit while taking your pups home.  This year, we again added just five new homes to our family.  Please welcome:  Judy Coates, Donna Holloway, Tammy Hampton, Dawn Mulcahey & Linda O'Toole.  We hope that your pups are everything you've dreamed of and we look forward to a long and wonderful relationship.

As always, my favorite thing to do on December 31st is to put together our year end list of accomplishments.  Congratulations to each and every dog and owner on this list.  Your hard work is a testament to your love of your dogs.  We are so proud of each of you!

2009 also saw 4 pups pass the Temperament Test, 8 pass the Herding Instinct Test and 16 earn their CGC (or CGN) certificate.  Four more were certified as Registered Therapy Dogs.  Congratulations to all!

We are also very proud of our related pups.  Quite a few grandpups were out there earning majors and beginning their working careers in 2009.  Most notably, Don & Pearl Thompson's Rio/Tess litter produced three AKC Champions in 2009... Dice, Kingston and Jemme, who finished her CKC Championship with a Best in Specialty win! The Oakview Nevar/Tess litter produced V, who is not only burning up the show rings but earned her AKC Tracking Dog title in 2009, and Celine, who finished her IACBA Championship.  Another litter to watch in the future is Pauline Karalia's L litter out of Gable and Jetta.  Lorenz had a fantastic year, earning his RN, RA, RE, TD, TDX, BH & TR1 titles for owner Lisa Kramer, while brother Levi earned his HT and PT for owner MJ Kushwara.  Plus Lars, Luna, Lola and Lyta also started their careers by earning rally titles.  Valerie McGraw's pups out of the Axel/Bianka litter and the Nevar/Sydney litter are also beginning to make their marks in the rings.  We can't wait to see what the future holds for this new generation!

We are pleased to announce that Emma become eligible for the ARC Bronze Dam award and Goldi is now eligible for the ARC Silver Dam award.   Yngo again won the ARC Prico award.  We have added up his ARC production points and believe that he is now the top producing dog in breed history for both the ARC and RCC systems.  Thank you to all of the dedicated breeders and owners who helped make this dream a reality. 

We are particularly proud of the most versatile pups and would like to congratulate Flapper, owned by Sue Trout, for being our only pup to earn the VCD2 designation this year.  We are also happy to report the large number of pups who have qualified for the ARC Versatility Awards in 2009.  Emma & Nevar qualfied for the ARC V award, with Flapper, Dorlee, Griffon, Breve, Beckham, Blitz, Elke, Goose, Aiden, Minty, Takoda, Jerome, Juna and Toro all qualifying for the VX award.  In our opinion, these are the most prestigeous awards that the ARC offers and we congratulate the dogs and owners who worked so hard to achieve them.

Once again, Dugan reminded us why we endeavor to produce dogs who possess working temperament.  Dugan had two spectacular finds this year, locating a body under several hundred feet of water, and also helping to find the remains of a person missing for over four years.  We continue to be in awe of the work that Dugan and his owner, Lucy Newton, do and are thankful that their work can help the families of such individuals.  Watch for Lucy and her new pup, Steel, who is eagerly awaiting his future as a police K9. 

We'll begin the New Year by welcoming the Tie/Nevar pups into the world.  After unexpectedly losing Nevar shortly after the breeding, we did not believe that Tie had conceived.  Nevar was loved by many and this was a devastating loss to not only his owner, Tammy Ausloos, but to the many who knew him.  In the end, Mother Nature felt she knew best.  These pups were indeed destined to come into the world.  This litter will arrive amidst many emotions, but Nevar's pups are so distinctively endearing that we are certain that these babies will help our hearts to heal. 

Mike will then judge the ARC National in April.  Other than that, the remainder of 2010 has yet to be planned.  If there is one thing that 2009 taught us is to enjoy each day as it is given to us.  We wish each of you Health, Happiness and Prosperity in the coming Year!
