This past weekend Popeye used for Select Dog with beautiful competition in Palm Springs!  That was a big win, big congratulations to his owners and breeders!!  From over 2,000 miles away we have had Popeye on our radar since he was a baby and this is just great to see.  We are passing along a few photos taken this weekend in Palm Springs; we know our families will just love these.

Our Popeye x Shirley babies are doing famously.  Our buttons burst to pass along that 3 of the puppies from the litter have already tested out of beginning obedience and will advance to intermediate classes at 14 weeks old.  Intermediate is typically closed to puppies under 6 months of age – we are so proud of our little smarties!!!

Basic obedience begins here but we are very grateful to their families for keeping this up and their hard/fun work with them.  Like children, smart, busy little minds need stimulation and we know they love their “work time,”  practice and assignments.  Excellent socialization for the pups as well – and what family doesn’t enjoy a dog with good manners?

Again, enormous congratulations to Popeye and his Team.  We are most appreciative of the opportunity to use him and put together such a great litter.  We sit tight now and wait for news on the Popeye x Jazzy match.
