DL, that is so cool how the Swim Day evolved and that people visit the events in more than just one area
.
Okay, Jeff, if we wanna wax all precise, my poochlet is an American Brittany Spaniel; her father took Westminster (championship) one year for doggies in their breed and landed the cover of the breed's magazine; and, her sister was a dual champ (Westminster and some doggie show-off event in Canada). She comes from a family of show-offs.
My doggie? A fine friend, indeed. I was interviewed for well over 3 hours before I could even take a peek at the pups - to assist the "breeders" (more like caregivers, actually) in facilitating the pups in choosing who might be enabled to take them to new homes.
Something happened in-between all the times I visited her (until she was 8-weeks-old) when she snuggled and fell asleep with her head on my shoulder: Once she got in the car and snuggled to go to sleep, she had an asthma attack. Yep, my poochlet has asthma and allergies. Only one of her litter with such - and with pancreatitis.
Her AKC name (which I will edit out later - for privacy's sake) is: Princess (edited out). I had wanted to name her: (edited out) but it has too many characters for the AKC form.
And... hence, as I read you post, Jeff, I duly noted that your dog Guinness is a Newfie
. Hmmm
