Sit!


Down to 4 puppies in thee household now; I will grow out the 2 blue puppies. They automatically sit when they crowd around me, fun to see how quickly they all figured out that good things came if they just slammed their butts to the floor and looked at me, and how no fun things would come their way if they didn't. They are on their way to developing good habits and I am too, after having been so lazy the past several years in shaping puppies to keep their feet on the floor and to pay attention.
From left to right: #1, Thumper, #3(Ziva) and Lila.

Some last pictures...

Before the big snow and before puppies start going home.

Syd and #1 (2-Spot). Syd goes home to horse country in Virginia early next week.


2 Spot again

#3, Ziva girl


#6, Inkwell's Imagine That. He is going to Northeastern Maryland for an Obedience career and he might spend some time in the Breed ring with me. He left today.


Two of #7, Inkwell's Gift Wrap (Lila). She is staying here.


Tache, aka Inkwell's Abandon, gets to go to Virginia Beach to run on the sand and eat gourmet food.( I think I will try to go with him.) Tache is French for Spot and is pronounced Tash. And he already knows it.
#2 is Inkwell's Jackrabbit, or Thumper. He is staying here.

Painter at 1 1/2 years


A Ribbon son from her first litter; I haven't seen recent pictures of her first puppies in a while and will try to rectify that soon.  Painter lives in WV and is busy with agility and obedeicne training and will probably be back in the Breed ring in the coming year.

7.5 weeks old

Between cloudy chilly and rain, occasional dry days. At least dry enough to go watch puppies play in the back yard.
