Thornapple First Class "Major"
I know Anna-Lena is away on holiday so I thought that I send you the new picture of majors win last weekend.
I'm so proud of this boy he is a true show dog and it doesn't matter what the weather is like he is always there for me doing everything I ask of him. This weekend is was real summer heat and he did not let me down.
I just love him ... A funny note about him, his favorite hobby is to pick the apples from our apple trees...
hmmm well he is a ThornAPPLE dog. I will try to take pictures of it, because its really funny to see.
Best Regards, Cecilia Brohlin · http://showstopper.dinstudio.se CONGRATULATIONS Cecilia & Anna-Lena!!!! · Riverwind Sgt Rock "Bedford"
Just thought you'd like to see some pictures of Bedford herding. Michael has entered him in another trial at the end of Sept.
Hopefully he can finish his Intermediate title. Please give photo credit to Gary Depp, In Motion Photos. Love, Karen Thank you for sharing Karen! Good luck with the Intermediate title.
Bedford's dam is Thornapple Gitchi Gitchi Ya Ya. His sire is CH. Bayshore's Ready to Rock, CD, STDsc, HSAs Thornapple Midnight Rumble Jet has grown into a magnificent dog, he is sweet as honey and he is gorgeous.
He always asks about you so we thought we would say hello. Jet takes super long walks along the waterfront in Manhattan and everyone stops to admire him. I haven't neutered him just yet because he is so extraordinary. I continue to be so grateful to you because this little dog cheers up every day for me and a pack of New Yorkers and it is all because of you. Best Wishes, Marie Thank you for the wonderful update, Marie!
Jet is owned & loved by Marie Dormuth of Manhattan.
Thornapple Unforgivable "Britney"
Yesterday was our 4-H fun show. Britney had a great time running agility!
I did not get to show her in obedience because I was judging her level (go figure).
She did AWESOME in the agility part and was definitely the best in her division!
Hopefully she will be just as awesome at the fair! - Audrey
