Julie's Back in the Game!

Julie (Nordictouch Golden Charm) is back on the show circuit after almost a year off. Her first show of the year was in Perry, GA this past weekend. We were very pleased with the results:

• 5/8/2008 - 1st/Reserve, Columbus Kennel Club, GA
  Judge: Mrs. Houston (Toddie) Clark

• 5/9/2008 - 1st/Winners/Best Opposite, Southeast Alabama Kennel Club, GA
  Judge : Mrs M Rosalie Anderson
  

We expect great things from Julie this year, as she has matured and filled out nicely after having "Una."

"Una" Leaves The Nest!

Today's an exciting day for Una, as she leaves our home and takes on a new adventure with our mentor and Co-Owner Siv Jendresen of Nordictouch Cavaliers, in Montanna. Una will be experiencing snow for the first time and will be right at home with her maternal grandparents, Jazz and Alessi. We will all miss Una and marked her last evening with special one on one time, lots of photos, and lots of tears. Una is our first homebred puppy, so she will always hold a special place in our hearts.

Here's Una at 18 weeks, with Mom (Julie).

Our little Red Renegade!

Una is keeping everyone on their toes here! She is full of energy and at just 5.5lbs is ruling the roost! She is a smart little cookie though and at 9 weeks has already signaled to go out a few times and has mastered the dog door with just two times through. Julie and Una have become best play pals! Julie finally found someone with more energy than she has. We will be starting puppy obedience classes shortley, to start teaching her how to become a more civil member of the household. :)

Already 8 Weeks!

I can't believe she's 8 weeks! She is 4lbs. 12.5oz. Here are some new pictures we took this evening and yesterday. She had her first bath this week and did great, I realized the majority of her is just fur/fluff :) Just like her Mom, she's a force to be reckoned with. She is full of spunk and isn't afraid of anything. We'll be holding on to Una for awhile, to see how she develops.

7 Week Firebolt

Don't let this innocent face fool you! I can't believe how fast the time has gone. Una is seven weeks and running around the house like mad. She is definitely her mother's daugther, into everything she can find. She get's lonely in the puppy pen and starts screaming for us to let her out. She is training us well! Una is 4lbs. 5oz.

Spunky!

Our little Una has lots of spunk! She terrorizes Julie to no end, but is all growl and bark (no bite). Una is 3lbs. 6oz. Finally slowing down in the weight gain this week. She loves to play and is very vocal! Julie still spoils her, letting her climb and tug at her all day. I'll be starting her on solids this week, so should be fun!

A Whole New World - Una @ 3 Weeks

Una is experiencing a whole new world, as her eyes and ears are fully opened and she is experiencing everything for the first time. We are slowly starting to acclimate her to our normal household sounds/activities, she takes it all in stride and normally sleeps right through anything we have going on. Una is now 2lbs. 4oz. and is a spoiled little girl, as Julie caters to her every need and desire to feed. Julie is a great Mom and is always looking out for her darling little girl.
