May 4-5 Cinder and Skye went to the Dairyland Classic in Jefferson, WI.  On Saturday Cinder was Reserve Winner's Bitch under Judge Sulie Greendale-Paveza but on Sunday she was Winner's Bitch from the Bred By Exhibitor class and then went on to Best of Winner's!  Still only 1 point but  very exciting.  Thank you to Judge Robert J. Shreve.  
August- Cinder has been bred to Rye- GRCB/Can CH Black Anvil Rampant Lion CGC with puppies due around October 12.

October 12- Cinder whelped 1 puppy via c-section.  Dark/Light pink girl was over 19 oz at birth!  She is now known as "Primrose" Lyric N Black Anvil By Faith & Trust and lives with her co-owner Brittany in Delaware.  Cinder also fostered a little French Bulldog puppy- Dewey.  At 8 weeks Dewey went back to live with his human mom Kay S.  His registered name is Koi Pond I Do I Do I Do and he is a pistol!  Kay asked if I would co-own him with her.  Of course I said YES!
2020
January 3-5 Lis De Souza, Kristie & Sarah Foster and I took Cinder and Skye up to St. Paul, MN for the North Country GS Specialty and Land o' Lakes KC dog shows.  Cinder walked at the specialty but Saturday was 4th in the BBE class and Sunday was 2nd in the BBE class.  Then she went east to New Jersey with Lis to grow coat and hopefully finish her champion title. We are hoping to repeat the breeding with Rye since Primrose is turning out so well.  Once she is bred she will be coming home to whelp the puppies.  

March 8- Cinder came in season 2 months before expected and with COVID-19 rearing it's ugly head Lis and I decided to bring her back to WI and breed her to a local dog.  Cinder was so glad to see me and to be home!

March 20- Cinder was bred to "George" CH U-CH Rocky Knoll's His Excellancy with puppies expected around May 19.  Fingers crossed that we have a litter of puppies this time around!

May 18- Cinder has 4 boys and 3 girls.  

2021

January-March- Cinder spent the first 3 months of 2021 at her co-owner's house while her sister, Skye, had puppies.  She came back SO beautiful.  It's amazing what living with a groomer will do for coat.


April- Easter weekend saw Cinder and her daughter, Paisley, up in Manitowoc, WI  Thursday and Sunday Cinder was Best of Winners for 2 points each day and Paisley was Reserve Winner's Bitch.  So proud of my girls.

June- Cinder and Lis went to Greyslake, IL show cluster.  Sunday, June 14, Judge Maureen Day awarded Cinder, WB, BOW, & BOS for a 3 pt major.  Thanks to Judge Day for recognizing my girl and to Lis for showing her.

September- The middle of September we are heading to the Gordon Setter National Specialty in Virginia Beach, VA.  Fingers crossed that we come home with some ribbons.


My girls came back from the National with lots and lots of wins!  I was unable to attend last minute thanks to a positive Covid test the Sunday before we were supposed to leave.  Lots of thanks to Kristie and Sarah Foster for taking Cinder, Paisley, and Jeté.  Sarah worked her feet off showing the girls.

January- The 15th and 16th were the Winnegamie Dog Shows in Oshkosh, WI.  On Saturday, Judge Gordon Rayburn awarded Cinder Best of Opposite Sex for a 3 point grand champion major.  On Sunday, Cinder was Select Bitch for another 3 point grand champion major under Judge  Patricia Nemirovsky de  Alsina.  ONLY 2 MORE POINTS to finish her Grand champion title!


February- The 11th Allison Miller headed off to her first grooming competition in Novi, MI with Cinder and a labradoodle.  Saturday was the sporting dog grooming competition.  Allison did great and Cinder looked amazing.  Then since Cinder was already in Novi I had entered Cinder at the dog show running at the same time.  Cinder was Best of Opposite Sex for a 4 point grand major to finish her Grand Champion title!!   Thank you to Judge Anne Marie Taylor for recognizing my girl.  So thankful to Danielle Frykman, Sarah Foster, & Lis Johnston for piloting Cinder to her wins.    Next Cinder will be spending some time in the whelping box.




The end of February Cinder was bred.  Puppies expected the end of April.  Update:  No puppies for Cinder.  I'm so disappointed.


May- Cinder went to live in Golden, CO with Kathy Jonke.  Kathy had Cinder's mom.  Cinder is enjoying life without Jeté bossing her around.  She is greatly missed.
