C-Myste

Gretta and Lucy were in the NY Times and I missed it (and Megan and Mandy, too!).  Of course we were on the road that day.

Here’s the link:

Hype, Money and Cornstarch: What It Takes to Win at Westminster

Scroll down and see the cute picture.

Photo credits and many thanks go to Denise Sponsler who took these pictures of Alice.

Alice finished the requirements for her ROM bronze level (ROMb) when Pilot finished his championship in Missoula.  These pictures were taken the same afternoon the first point was earned toward her silver level award through Pilot’s group placement.

I don’t know which of these two pictures I like better. In the top one she is wearing her “sweet face” while in the one below she is more alert.

The world’s happiest dog?

True bliss:  playing with your granddaughters on the beach.

Credits go to Tom and his Nikon for these. We have so many pictures that I am going to post them in groups.

First come the siblings at 8 months of age.

Captain AKA C-Myste Baledwr Whomping Willow
Captain was WD/BOW on Sunday for 2 points.  He’s still a bit of a goofy puppy.  But look at that tail: set and carriage.  Of course that’s not the only nice thing about him.  He is major-pointed and I expect that he will finish very young.

Hope AKA C-Myste Baledwr Willow In Bloom
Hope was the tiny tube-fed puppy in the litter.  Unfortunately she is still tiny so this is her lone conformation show experience.
A bouncy and happy girl, Marianne and Brian will have fun with her.

Iris AKA C-Myste Baledwr Starrynights Wind In The Willows
Iris is her mom Hannah dressed in red.   It may take her a little longer to mature, but I love her length and elegance.

Gretta AKA C-Myste Baledwr Starrynites Gift Of The Willows
Gretta was WB both days to add 4 points to her running total. The wins were well-deserved.
