Meet our New Showgirl

We have added a new showgirl to our family. Scheily's Mystic Breeze is a dream come true. On November 22nd, 2009 Jim drove us all the way to to Ohio to see our new girl Violet in her first show. It was very exciting for all of us including Rose who learned how to gait a dog and helped Kathy brush them. We got to meet Violet for the first time and she was more beautiful then we could have ever expected. We also had the opportunity to meet Bev, her breeder and thank her for our pretty show girl. Violet went in the ring against her littermate sister and took Winners Bitch (WB) and Best of Winners (BOW) and Opposite Sex (OS) for a total of 2 points toward her championship which was a great accomplishment for her weekend out. GO VIOLET! We are proud of you. Her next show will be one of the biggest hosted by the ASC near Philly. To Read more about Violet- visit her webpage http://www.moondropgardens.com/Violet.html

Hounds on the Sound Dog Walk

Well it was a gorgeous day for a dog walk last week and Cristina, Rocco, TJ and I, Jim, Rose and Dillon had a blast. Everyone showed tons of support as we walked a raised money for the New Rochelle Humane Society and shelters in the area. Thank you to those who sponsored us.

Rocco and Dillon were loved by all...

Hidden Pictures-LALA

anxiously awaiting Lalas litter- but the x-ray was quite inconclusive due to obstructed views..LOL

Doc says 3 or 4 or 5..how many do you see?

The newest Model....Ginger

Colleen sent us some DARLING professional photos done by PetSmart a few weeks ago. Ginger (Azalea) was our first born cocker and is very special to us. Not only is she a gorgeous sable- but she looks like her mom and dad- and is the opitomy of what a Moondrop Gardens cocker spaniel represents. We know she is very loved and are grateful to Colleen and John for taking such good care of her. Thank you for sharing!

Fun in the Sun

Dempsey and Rose cool off in our super sized pool.

CERF Eye Testing

In August we loaded up the car with all our breeding dogs and drove 2.5 hours to Long Island. Noelle La Croix, DVM examined all the dogs for hereditary eye diseases and any potential eye problems. All the dogs checked out clear and will receive their CERF certificate shortly. This is an annual exam and I wanted to let everyone know if you are in reasonable driving distance and need to have these tests done it would be worth your while to visit Veterinary Medical Center of Long Islannd. I highly recommend her and her staff. They were very friendly, efficient and informative. I also have to tell the fee they charge is even less than if you attended a CERF clinic. I had to call back because I thought I got the information incorrect. Other doctors are charging MUCH more for no apparent reason other than they just don't want to do it. These tests are important and have to be done every year so charging exorbitant amounts of money would only deter people from having them done which makes no sense. (?)
