What's New at Sanmann Kennels?: Happy Holidays!

What a year it has been! We can't believe it is already time to reign in the New Year! 2012 was a great year but we have a feeling 2013 will be even better! We left off on our former blog in the summertime but a lot has happened since then. We did not go to many shows this past summer because of the excessive heat, but our dogs were still heavy into their training. We have two new youngsters in the Sanmann mix that we are thrilled to have as a part of our team. Brice was born April 16th, 2012 in NY state and is the son of our champion, Austin. He is training for show and obedience competition. He made his debut in Bloomsburg and went Reserve Winners Dog from the Puppy Class. Whisper is our other Sanmann addition who was born at Sanmann on May 1st, 2012. Her mother is our own Addie and her father is Will-Champion Kalm Seas to Have and to Hold. She is training currently for show and rally. In other show news, a big congratulations to all our show handling attendees and their dogs who recently received their championship merits! We are proud of you all! In other news, Sue recently judged a Golden Specialty and Flat Coated Retriver Specialy in Maryland. We also attended some shows in Allentown this December where our very own Henrietta won Best Bred- By- Exhibitor Competition and was third in Sporting Group. Austin went Grand Champ Select at the same show! We are so proud of them both! Aside from the shows we have been very busy here at the Kennel taking care of your lovely dogs as many of you vacationed at the Jersey Shore this past summer! In speaking of the Jersey Shore, we would like to take this time to thank the Hilltown Township for recognizing us as a safe haven for resident's dogs and cats during Superstorm Sandy. We are very grateful for the opportunity to serve our community and hope that anyone that stayed with us during Sandy is safe and happy back in their homes! We wish anyone affected by the disaster the best of luck in recovering and our thoughts and prayers are with you. On one final note, we are thrilled with Sanmann's It's All About Me (MeMe) birth of four beautiful puppies in November. Their father is Lucien, Champion Edgecombe's The So-Lucien! Check below for some photos to go along with this blog and thank you again for taking the time to keep up with us here at Sanmann Kennels! Have a happy and blessed New Year!
