August 13, 2009 Charm doing Obedience training.
Video of Charm and Teresa doing light obedience training at home
with Shay and Sonoma helping out as a distraction. Shay is also
harassing Teresa for more treats. Then... next door neighbor lets
out their dog and all three run to the fence. Lots of confusion at
first because Sandy likes to run in big circles so she does not run
the length of the fence. As you can see it causes a 3 wolfhound pile
up at first. Click on picture to the left to see video

RV trip to Wyoming - 3 Women a Boy and 3 Irish Wolfhounds - Sept 09
It's a very very long drive to Wyoming from central Arkansas. One way is about
1,300 miles. Thanks to Noralee Perkins we did the drive in her RV appropriately
named Rover in comfort. On our return trip we had two vent covers blow off
from the cross winds in Colorado and stopped in Kansas to make quick repairs
as we were expecting rain on our trip back. Other passengers and wolfhounds
on this trip was Deb Frank her grandson Ty, Sonoma, Amy and DeeDee. To
watch this video click on the picture to the left.

opportunity for pictures we brought along a
video camera and digital camera for still shots.

Trinity Valley Kennel Club and Greater Collin Kennel Club
Dallas Texas December 5th and 6th 2009
Breed Ring Results 12-04-09 12-05-09 12-06-09
Sonoma was entered for both shows but was kept out due to an injury acquired during the drive to Dallas, TX. While passing a
Semi on I-30 there was a huge piece of Semi tire in the passing lane. It was situated just enough to left that it could not be
passed safely by using the shoulder. So when the van hit the tire the horrific noise rousted Sonoma up from sleeping so
violently she twisted a shoulder muscle. Since we were so close to Dallas we decided Sonoma was not going to show
Saturday and kept her available for Sunday if need be to keep the major. Sunday Sonoma was much better but still favored her
front right shoulder. Since the major held Sonoma again was kept out from Sunday's show.
The shows for both Sat & Sun were video taped.   Watched a beautiful young male Owned by Donna Drake named Tasser
achieve his championship at 13 months of age.    Rosie Owned by Jonette Jones and Donna Hinkley achieve her
championship on Sunday. Very nice wolfhounds shown this weekend.    Here are the links to the videos for this show
