Pictures ... and more pictures

We had a beautiful day here in NW Arkansas.  It was uncharacteristically warm and sunny for January.  My wonderful daughter agreed to be photographer while I stacked the dogs for pictures.

This is Gideon -- the boy is growing up.  I can't wait to get him into the show ring early next month.

This is Pandora -- litter sister of the soon to be famous Leroy (see last post for pictures of Leroy).  She is quite a happy girl and is constantly wagging her tail.  As a result her tail looks "stubby" in the picture as I am waving a piece of cheese in front her.  Cheese makes her very happy!

 

 

 

 

 

This is Sadie (Notz G Dance Sadie Girl) she is by (CH Phi Vestavia Nott a Gamble X Sisterwood's La Dolce Vida).  I co-own her with Sharon Nottingham.  We will be breeding her in early Spring.  I will post details once we figure them out.  Here is a link to her pedigree:

And last but not least here is our baby Willow.  She is still difficult to stack -- so the pictures don't show her off as nicely as I think she really is.  She is not a flashy girl but she has so many attributes that I really like.  She will be making her show ring debut next month.

 



 

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.
