Summertime at Sanmann!

Summer has finally arrived, and we here at Sanmann could not be more excited.  And our doggies could not be more excited either; from the lush green grass to run around in, to the cool waters of our creek that runs through our property, to the bright and sunshine filled days, our dogs are loving summertime!  In puppy news, Sanmann’s Abby had two little girls on February 9th, 2012 and both are doing splendidly in their new homes.  Addy and Meme had their babies in the first week of May and their beautiful pups are just beginning to open their eyes and walk around.  They are a cute bunch of joyful pups and we love every minute of taking care of them.  Meme had three boys and Addy had three boys and three girls all within the first week of May so we have quite the number of puppies here currently, but we love it.  Make sure to look out for photos of them that we will put up soon!  In show news, recently we traveled to Wilmington Kennel Show in Bear, Delaware where Sanmann’s Henrietta had a major win by taking home Winner’s Bitch and Best of Opposite Sex.  We are so proud of her and she is halfway through her championship!  We are continuing now to prepare for more shows by the end of the month.  Our own Emma is also keeping in tip top shape for the show ring and also to become a major competitor in obedience.  Eric and Emma have been training every day and so far, everything is going smoothly.  Needless to say, June, July, and August will be very busy between running the kennel, shows, and also relaxing by the pool!  In other news, if you have not stopped by Barnes and Noble, or websites like Amazon.com, find a copy of Show Dog: The Charmed Life and Trying Times of a Near-Perfect Purebred by Josh Dean today!  Dog fanciers can rejoice as this book follows an Australian Shepard, Jack, who first started out right here at Sanmann Kennels!  We are so proud of Jack and his owner Kimberly, who were one of our favorite students in Sue’s show handling class.  With reviews like “A wonderful, charming look at the sport of dogs and dog shows and an absolute must read for anyone looking to get involved.” (Pat Hastings, AKC Judge and author of Tricks of the Trade ) and “If you don’t know your toy group from your terriers, pick up this beguiling nonfiction account that follows Jack, a lovable, handsome Australian shepherd and an aspiring Best in Show.” (Entertainment Weekly) this summer read is surely not to disappoint.  As a parting word to anyone who is looking for one of our Sanmann pups to take home, we will have more litters very soon so please be patient; they are surely worth the wait!  To everyone who spends their vacations with us, please remember to make a reservation early so that you can guarantee yourself a spot here at your dogs home away from home!  Also to anyone who would like to schedule grooming appointments, please also book in advance so your pet can be guaranteed a nice new summer haircut!  We want to wish you all a happy, safe, and most importantly fun summer and check back soon for more updates!
