New Champion Presley!!!

  A little late in posting but excited to announce our newest Grayhart AKC Champion... Presley finished in style earning her 2nd major, owner/breeder handled by going Winner's Bitch and Best of Breed from the Bred-by-Exhibitor class, over a top special under judge Dr. Steve Keating. Presley is now CH Grayhart's Another Star, JH. Presley earned her first major, from the BBE class, going Best of Breed over 6 Specials for a 5-pt major!

Presley will be bred early 2018 to Justin, CH HiBourne's It's All About Me.

Presley wins her 1st show point!

 After a fabulous two-week vacation on Cape Cod, we returned home Thursday night, unpacked and got ready for a show the next day.  On Friday, Presley was a winner!  Presley, Grayhart's Another Star, from our Wonder litter (Fala x Jam) was Winner's Bitch, Best of Opposite and Best Bred-by-Exhibitor (BBE) at the Putnam Kennel Club under Judge Robert Robinson for her 1st point towards her AKC Championship.  This was owner/breeder handled from the Bred-by-Exhibitor class.  Presley is only 7 1/2 months old and we are thrilled with how she is maturing. She is also the first pointed pup from her litter.  I am so blessed to co-own this lovely girl with friends Bob and Meridith Voltaggio.  They also own our Savi's littermate, Memphis.

We could not stay for an official win photo or for the BBE Groups as we had to leave the show as soon as we were done to drive an hour and a half to New York City for a fashion shoot with Savi.  We did return to the show on Saturday to show, no wins that day, but we did get a win photo with the judge.  That first point is always special.  Below is a shot of Presley taken last week on Ryder Beach in Truro, MA, on Cape Cod.

Ember's Major Win!!!!

 We had an amazing win at the Mid-Hudson Kennel Club show in New Paltz, NY last weekend.  Ember, Grayhart's Light My Fire, CGC, from our Rockstar litter (Summit x Jam) went Winner's Bitch from the Bred-by-Exhibitor class and then on to go Best of Opposite in the Best of Breed class to earn a 3-point major win!  Ember defeated three bitch specials, including her mother, Jam, which gave her the additional bitch number needed to turn the 2-pt win into a 3-pt major!  This was unexpected and we were thrilled that Judge Pat Mowbray recognized our lovely Ember who moves with big sidegait.  She also commented how happy she was and we have to agree, Ember is a pistol and her tail never stops.

 This was only Ember's 4th time in the show ring and she was solid and showed like a pro thanks to the wonderful training of her co-owners, Aimee and Josh.  They are training Ember for agility and obedience and plan to debut in those venues this fall.
