I took a few photos on Sunday after Nandi's lovely, Best Of Group and Best Junior of Group wins, it certainly was a good day for the Aussie's as an Aussie also took Reserve of Group (which is Group 2 over there I think) and then Di got Baby Puppy of Group with her Zippo daughter from me. Sorry the quality of the photos are not that great as it was just my little camera. Cheers Coralee Thank you for the photos, Coralee! Congrats Di & Coralee on the awesome wins!

March 13 *** News from Hungary!
Long time I didn't write news about Latte * Thornapple Iced Latte!
In this weekend in Graz she finished her third champion title in Austria, with CaCa, res. Cacib. So she became Österreichische Champion (Austria Ch.)
Only 6 month after her litter - I think - it was a great job! Our friend Gábor was in Crufts in this year as well and he shot some pict about beautiful Diablo! I think Barbi was informed you, that she and Tom will study in the States from end of this year. Our beautiful Vito (Latte x Rio) from first litter will be there with them. Hope you can meet there with each other. Big hugs for the family Dora and Eszter THANK YOU for sharing & HUGE CONGRATS, Dora & Eszter!
New Austrian Champion Thornapple Iced Latte
Latte son ... Vito owned by Barbara Klausz of Hungary
I'm just writing U to tell that my boyfriend received an opportunity to do his PhD at the Northwestern University near Chicago, in Illinois. If everything goes well, and if I receive the visa we going to move to the US in October 2008. I wanna ask U in advance: could we have a possibility to visit U and your kennel sometimes?
Thanks a lot, I send U a new picture from Vito taken for the British Shepherd Dogs Club Almanach. Best regards, Barbi Vito is BEAUTIFUL, Barbi! Thank you for sharing!
I send greeting from Czech Republic.
BIG CONGRATULATIONS to success in Crufts. Jada and Diablo are gorgeous.
I send you some fotos of offspring of Diablo and of my Bonny Sue. I think that they grow greatly. And they have good accomplishments in Shows.
With kind regards, Bohunka www.puella-fera.com

Jake is making his big debut on the silver screen this December! He is going to be in "Marley and Me"
(after the book) and its set to be released December 2008. Jake is doing all the "beach scenes"...
It was incredible to see Jennifer Aniston, Owen Wilson, and "Mc Steamy" hehehehe, Jake was in ALL the scenes shot today. One scene he played a very prominent role with me. We were in a scene where Owen Wilson and Eric Dane ( http://drmcsteamy.com/McSteamy_Doctor.jpg) were walking down the beach chasing an adorable Lab puppy (Marley) and Jake was one of two dogs in the scene... One dog was doing a down stay and the puppy ran up to it and Jake and I played fetch in the ocean... for an hour they shot the scene over and over... Jake was a trooper, he retrieved his toy endlessly with nice big jumps into the ocean! He was having a ball retrieving, despite the fact that I could not even say a word to him (since all but the two stars are silent while filming)... GOOD boy! Then we were walking in scenes or "hanging out" at the beach!
... Next shooting day is Thursday.... It was too cool... there was paparazzi in boats speeding by and police chasing them away.... incredibly fun.... I sure love Jake for the chance he has given us to do these neat things!
Anyhow, its a closed set and they are super nuts about NO PHOTOS... which stinks but I guess it will be worth it if he is on a movie in the long run. Ami and Jakeman http://www.pagesix.com/photo/marley+me+set?page=0%2C0 On set yesterday (none of Jake yet)... but this was the scene Jake was in (with both the puppy and the older Lab)
And MORE movie news from Shari Sprague *** mom to Ch Thornapple Pure Poison Well, just in case Kaya and I don't actually make it into the movie, here is proof from a paparazzi photo taken from a boat during shooting for the movie Marley and Me. Kaya and I are in the background playing together while Jennifer Aniston and Owen Wilson walk down the beach with Marley!! Yeah!!
