Introducing Leroy

Sharon Nottingham sent me a picture of Leroy's latest win picture.   Leroy, more formally known as Notz Dance With Me Leroy was co-bred by me and Sharon.  He is out of our beautiful red girl Fynn.  Leroy has been burning up the show ring this Fall.  We believe he has a great future.  We are excited about this black and white boy.

Quick ..... take a picture

Although Willow is 4 months old I have yet to take a decent picture of her.  She is definitely a "live wire" and won't stand still long enough to get a good shot.  Yesterday I cajoled my wife into attempting to stack her while I took the pictures.  After several minutes and many attempts later the pictures below are what we ended up with.  Although the pictures are less than perfect --- they are the best we have taken to date.  Willow is a sweet girl and gets along with everyone.  It will be fun to see how she turns out.

Updates on the pups

It is been so hot here in NW Arkansas this summer have not felt like doing to much dog stuff.  However it cooled down a little this weekend so took the opportunity to snap some pictures of the pups.  Here is a picture of Gideon (Davenitch Valiant Warrior of Giants Dance).  This puppy is turning out quite nice -- with incredible bone and movement --not to mention those huge Cardi ears !  We have high hopes for this guy.

In addition, we have a new puppy living here at Giants Dance.  Meet Willow (Giants Dance Poinciana)--who is a daughter of our beautiful red girl Fynn (CH Notzmo-Somerset Grand Finale) and Dice (CH Phi Vestavia Nott A Gamble).  This is the same breeding that produced our up and comer Pandora.  Willow  was quite uncooperative during the photo shoot --- but we did manage to this picture of her cute face.  She is 10 weeks old.

Poppy and Eden

Here is a picture of Poppy (on the left) and Eden (on the right) taken by Falon Gray -- photographer and dog trainer extraordinaire.  Both of these girls were bred here at Giants Dance Cardigans.

Pandora Updates

We took a couple of pictures of our new show girl Pandora.  She is turning out really nice.  We took her to her first show in Tulsa over the Memorial Day weekend.  Although she has much to learn about the showring she still managed to get Reserve Winners.  Pretty good for a 6 month puppy.  We have repeated the litter and they just turned 4 weeks old.  You can contact Sharon Nottingham at Notz Cardigans for more information.

Puppy Updates

The weather was very nice so we had an opportunity to snap a few photos of the puppies.

This is our new puppy Gideon.  Gideon, officially known as Davenitch Valiant Warrior of Giants Dance is from Connie Whan's Davenitch Kennels.  Gideon is by Levi X Angelica.  Gideon is 14 weeks old.

This is Pandora (Giants Dance Notz Lagniappe).  She is turning out to be everything we were looking for in the Dice X Fynn breeding.  She is now 6 months and practicing to be a show dog.  Hopefully we will be able to get her in the show ring soon.

Another picture ...

This is picture of Cybil winning her last points for her championship.  I think it turned out pretty good.  I am proud of our new champion !

Ms Giada (Sisterwood's La Dolce Vita) is done with maternity duties and is looking for a forever home. This is the sweetest Cardi you will ever meet. She gets along with everyone, lead, crate and house trained. She has all her health clearances - hips, eyes, etc.                                                          Email me @ mark.clarke@cox.net for details.

Introducing Gideon

We travelled to the Columbia MO shows this weekend to meet up with Connie Whan of Davenitch Kennels.  We came home with a new puppy boy.  We are very super excited.  Here are a couple of pictures of puppy now named Gideon taken at 6 weeks.  Gideon is by CH Cerridwen Davenitch Believe in Him X CH Davenitch Shooting Star Angelica.

She is a C-H-A-M-P-I-O-N !!!

Cybil finished her championship this weekend. She is now officially known as Champion Notz Cybil Lyberty.  To say we are excited is an understatement.  Cybil is co-owned and bred by Sharon Nottingham of Notz Kennels and expertly shown by Linda Williams.  Here is another picture of the  lovely Cybil.

Pandora -- 16 weeks

It was a beautiful day in NW Arkansas today and I was able to cajole my patient wife into taking dog pictures.  As a result here are a couple of pictures of baby Pandora who turned 16 weeks this week.  She is still on the small side --- but has a B-I-G personality.  I filled out her AKC registration and she will be officially know as Giants Dance Notz Lagniappe.

Champion Fynn

Here is a picture of our red girl Fynn (CH Notzmo Somerset Grande Finale) who was Winners at the Three Trails Cardigan Welsh Corgi Club last Spring.  Fynn will be bred soon to Dice (Ch Phi Vestavia Nott A Gamble).

Here is a link to the pedigree of the litter.

The puppies are here !

Debbie and Lisa of Sundance Corgi's sent me pictures of Giada (Sisterwood's La Dolce Vita) and Max's (GrCh Sundance Itakemineblack) babies.  Giada free whelped a nice litter of 4 boys and 2 girls.  Here are a few pictures taken at 2.5 weeks.  Contact Debbie and Lisa for more information.

She only needs one ... point that is.

Our girl Cybil (Notz Cybil Liberty) that we co-own with Sharon Nottingham has been out with professional handler Linda Williams for the past two weekends.  She was Winners 3 of the 4 days shown.  She even beat a Special one day.  She now only needs one point to finish. Hopefully soon.

Poppy and Eden

Poppy flew to her new home in Michigan on Friday.  She left Arkansas with temperatures in the mid 50's and arrived in Grand Rapids with temperatures in the high teen's.  Here is a link of her and her sister Eden romping in the Michigan snow.
