Jam becomes a Grand Champion!!!!

In July, we went on our 2014 Grayhart Southern Adventure with Jam and Presely!  This included the Greenville, SC dog show circuit, visiting Debbie Moody, who owns two Grayhart girls, in the stunning mountains of North Carolina and a quick trip to Alabama to visit UofA.  

The first day of the Greenville Circuit was the Piedmont Kennel Club show.  We were thrilled for Jam, the only owner-breeder-handler in a very competitive entry of Weims, to go Select Bitch for a 4-pt Grand Champion (GCH) Major and be awarded Best of Breed Owner-Handler.  Jam, who is sparingly specialed,  she's been busy with agility, pups and many other things, only needed two singles to finish her GCH title so finishing in a big way was tons of fun.  Jam also was eligible to compete in the Owner-Handler group and showed well, photo above.

Jam is the first Grand Champion in her litter and the second Grayhart dog to earn this title, with Bravo being the first.

Very proud to announce...Jam is now GCH Grayhart's Purple Haze, CD,JH,AX,AXJ,SD,VX!!!

What's up next for Jam?  She will be competing in some local agility trials and will be bred on her next season for her final litter.

Rockland show weekend

Mia, Grayhart's American Woman

 This weekend we attended the Rockland Kennel Club shows in Suffern, NY.  These are our local shows, close to home and a favorite venue.  We always enjoy seeing lots of friends and the shopping is terrific.  Our two Parker daughters, Mia and Jam, were entered and shown by Steve.  Mia, showed beautifully both days, won the open class on Saturday and went Reserve Winner's Bitch to the major and on Sunday, she was 3rd in her class. Off to more shows to try and finish her championship as she only needs a few single points to finish.

We only have a few phone shots of Jam, CH Grayhart's Purple Haze, CD, JH,AX, OAJ, SD, VX. She looked terrific in the Best of Breed class and was awarded Select Bitch both days for two Grand Champion Majors.  Jam has the three required majors for her GCH title and just needs singles to finish.

One of Jam's puppies, Ella, now 5 1/2 months old came to visit.  We were happy to see this adorable girl, who we have not seen since she left us at 8 weeks of age.  She recognized me and gave me tons of kisses.  Her owners are doing a wonderful job training her.  Ella, who was always very biddable, let me stack her with no fuss.  She's quite a cutie and we look forward to showing her.

Bravo's August Dog News ad

Hurray for Bravo - the 1st Grayhart Grand Champion!

Congratulations to owners Jay and Ron and handler Debbie Hopkins for finishing Bravo's Grand Champion title!  This was accomplished in less than two months after he completed his AKC Championship, with selective specialing and he received GCH points at every show he was shown in, either by going BOB, BOS or Select Dog.

Bravo, (Clay x Trixie), is only 17 months old and is now...GCH Grayhart Crescent's Bravo!

We are very proud of this young dog and look forward to watching him in other venues as his owner has plans to begin training him for Rally and Obedience and putting titles on the other end of his name.
