Abby finished her championship on the road with Robin Novack in Ohio in October 2009. Her second major came with Robin at Lexington (Kentucky) Kennel Club Show in August 2009.

She won a 4-point major and Best of Opposite Sex over specials at the South Windsor Kennel Club Show under Judge LaMar Mathis, April 2009. At 8 months old, she took Best in Sweeps at the New England Sporting Group Show, March 14, 2009.  Abby was pick bitch in our all-black-and-tan Fourth of July Litter, sired by Hob (whelped July 4, 2008).

Sally is the third generation of our black and tans, and dam of two all-black-and-tan litters. Though her show career was cut short by family circumstances, she is a wonderful brood bitch and an important part of our breeding program.

She whelped her first litter (Ah-ha!) in September 2009, sired by Ch Ashwind's Ivy League. Trixie will return to the ring as a special in 2010.
