New addition...

I flew to Pennsylvania this past weekend to attend the dog show at York, PA.  I was only an observer as my primary reason to attend was to see a litter of puppies sired by "Dudley" -- GCH Puddleduck Solas Smoke on the Water.  Dudley caught my eye at the 2014 National Specialty and I really liked his pedigree.  After seeing the litter - I had to come back to Arkansas with a souvenir.  Introducing Sanddigger First Time's a Charm.  Call name Charm.

This is Charm chillin' in the Sherpa on her way back to Arkansas.  She did so good on the plane!

 

 

Here is Charm's first official show dog picture.
