Well, winter has officially arrived at Sanmann Kennels. The snow storms have made the humans tired of shoveling and plowing, but the Goldens are loving it. The Frenchies, not so much. Shawn, Sky and Hank have found wonderful warm places near the radiator! Mimi’s puppies are all with their new families and doing great. We are thinking of them house training their new arrivals in the snow and cold! Remember….lots of layers.
In the midst of this nasty weather, Austin ventured to Maryland to dog shows where he not only completed his breed championship but also was awarded his first points towards his Grand Championship. Way to go, Ch. Sanmann’s Two Step. Look for Austin in the Obedience and Rally Trials this summer. Congrats are also in order to Austin's father, Ch. Sanmann's Steppin' Out. Stepper is now an Oustanding Sire.
Speaking of training, Carol and Addie have been practicing Agility and Obedience this winter. Obedience Classes here at Sanmann begin again on March 1st- a sure harbinger of Spring. At the end of our 8 week session, we will host an AKC Canine Good Citizen test. This title is an official AKC designation and very nice for your dog to have. You can check out the requirements and the advantages of having the CGC on the AKC website at, www.akc.org. For anyone who is new to the obeidence process, classes are filling up for March 1st for any beginners. If you are interested, make sure you get your application in as soon as possible!
Show handling classes are ongoing every thursday night from 7:15pm to 8:30pm but will break during the months of July and August. A big congratulations to all show handling students who have earned titles and qualified to show at The Westminster Kennel Club.
