Yasashiikuma

Cute pictures arived today from Carrie!  She found a new line of dog toys, and couldn’t resist buying one!

I guess its not too hard to figure out who the toy is meant for.   Apparently he wasted no time in absconding with it and making sure that his grandmother didn’t claim it.

“WHAT??? Its mine!  It had my name on it!!”

Once upon a time there was an adorable little puppy.

He loved to play in the snow, and go for runs on the beach.

At 5 months went to his first match-the CWCCWR Spring Puppy Match.

He had a great day coming home with Best In Match. That was his preparation for his first show – the American National specialty.

In the very first class of the show, Amigo won the 6-9 month class in puppy sweeps

That summer Amigo went to two more specialties.

At the Canadian National Specialty in Edmonton, Alberta, Amigo won Best Puppy and Reserve Winners Dog. After that he went to live with his co-owner Debbie Brooks in Ohio.

At the Western Reserve Specialty and won his class under Simon Parsons of the UK. He and Dragoon were also pulled against each other for Reserve Winners Dog which went to Dragoon.

Over the next year Amigo finished his American Championship, and this summer he came home to complete his Canadian Championship. Unfortunately, due to a lack of competition it took a while to get it done, but he finished this month and the photo is below.

Since Amigo is not a happy camper in the show ring, he won’t be going on to compete for his Grand Championship.  Instead he has gone to retire and live with his grandmother in Toronto.

Whilr Gale is taking comfort from having Amigo there after the loss of her half-sister, Megan last month, he is also taking years off her by getting her active again as you can see in the video of Amigo & Gale Frapping

Introducing Miss Dash, Yasasashiikuma Dare to Dream Big, my little Dolly and Dickens baby.

Dash attended her first show and was Best of Winners the first day. Her Uncle Amigo also managed to gather the final two points he needed for his Canadian Championship and is now Am/Cdn Ch Yasashiikuma Friend of Mine, and retired from the ring, since he doesn’t enjoy it.

Just got news that Amigo finished today with a 3 point major in Newcastle, PA. That makes him Am.Ch. Yasashiikuma Friend of Mine. Congratulations to his co-owner Debbie Brooks!

Photo to come as soon as I get it!
