Catching Up With the Weekend

Before we leave for the UKC Premier, I have some posts to catch up on.

Our little brown boy went off to New York City where he will live with Judy and Fran. They also have a place on Long Island where he will have lots of access to the beach. This little guy is named Gavroche.

Hickory Tavern Epilogue Esprit

This beautiful girl is our pick pup from this litter. She has gone to Cincinnati where she lives with Jeff and a Golden Retriever. We hope to see this girl out at the dog shows next year!

Hickory Tavern Epilogue Eclair

Finally, while we are home enjoying our puppies, it's a thrill for our dogs to be out winning at the dog shows with their owners.  Huge congratulations to Leslie Woodward and Lynn Vogt-Kinsey for winning Best in Open Show Sunday at the Longshore-Southport Kennel Club in Connecticut. Under judge Pam Lambie,  Hickory Tavern Finally Friday, 'Alainn,' won both the FSS Group and then Best in Show over a big Miscellaneous entry. Alainn is a one year old female out of our Neigenuveaux's Ermagarde (Claire) by Quaciendas Thunus Georgi (George). We are very proud of Alainn and Leslie!

 Claire's pretty pink pup went to New Jersey to live with her half sister Blueberry. Pink Cotton Candy, now known as CC, will be spoiled by the Barones.

Claire's Pups Start to Depart

Today the first pup of Claire's last litter left for his new home. Hickory Tavern Epilogue Edwin - Rush - has gone to live with Mallie, one of our Nessa/Murdoch pups from last year, in the Allegheny National Forest of Northern Pennsylvania. We are so happy that the Steber Family has chosen to add another one of our Barbet puppies to their family and we wish them all the best. 

Claire and Pascal Pups at 8 Weeks

Today the pups went to the veterinarian for their first shot and microchips. They all were very brave and were great for the ride in the car. I cannot believe these guys are already 8 weeks old and will be starting to leave this weekend. This litter has been such a pleasure!
