Houston was such an easy boy to get a great picture of him on the table

Oslo is such a beautiful little boy. He definately has the most playful attitude at this point.

He is just so funny! AND FAST!!!

Dublin is such a petite little girl, she will definately be small... but feisty!

Ahhh, Venice... she reminds me so much of her mother. Sweet and easy to fall in love with.

So peaceful

Oslo is definately the big boy of the group and his little nose is starting to darken up

Dublin did not want her picture taken, we managed to get one that wasn't a blur of protest

Venice is just a sweet little girl and loves a good cuddle

2011-01-18T09:25:00.000-08:00

We were expecting 4 puppies from the xray and after the fourth came out, we sighed a sigh of relief that it was all over... then Jersey started pushing and low and behold a 5th puppy came out, a solid blue female with exactly the same markings as Jersey... this could be her carbon copy they look so much alike!!!

Holly is keeping Jersey Company

2011-01-16T19:19:00.001-08:00

Jersey is more comfortable if mom is in the welping box. Holly will be a great grandma.

2011-01-06T14:56:00.000-08:00

okay, I was at Grayson while the puppies were being born and we set up a web cam over msn so someone could watch... this gave me a brilliant idea. What if I bought a web cam and could stream a live shot for anyone that wanted to see.

Jersey's Debut Year

2010-01-09T01:51:00.000-08:00

Here is Jersey at the '09 Canadian Nationals. This year I will be concentrating on her training so you will be seeing more of her in the shows. It was a tough decision to pull Parker from this year but in the upcoming show I have only entered my little "J" pending ckc confirmation I believe Parker has finished as #2 in Canada and the #1 Male! I will post it up as soon as I know for sure.

PUPDATE!!! Cristal as a Pirate!

Goodbye Albion Ferry!

2009-08-02T14:39:00.001-07:00

The last sailing of the Albion Ferry was this past friday. Now that the new Golden Ears Bridge has opened, the ferry has been closed. Too bad, the Albion was in it's 52nd year. Glad I went out of my way to get to ride it home one last time.

Happy 10th birthday buddy! We had a great day, walk around mill lake, trip to Bark & Fitz for a birthday cookie, then a fun run at Aldergrove lake. Ten years seems like yesterday and I am so glad that at this stage of your life, I still see you as the puppy you are.

Spring IG Walk at Stanley Park!

2009-05-26T08:38:00.001-07:00

I organized a walk along the seawall and invited everyone with an Italian Greyhound that I knew. I asked them to invite anyone they knew with an Italian greyhound and so on... We had about 30 of the little guys all in one place. Over the next few days I will be posting some of the pictures that I took, and that were sent to me from people on that walk. It was a gorgeous Saturday afternoon at the Seawall.

This is Briley and Cristal, both from our latest litter. I can't believe how similar they are!

Jersey's Movement

Jersey's natural gait. She was much better this time around!

Parker's Movement

2009-05-04T08:21:00.000-07:00

Jersey was being a goof, but Parker looked great gaiting around a parking lot at the end of his flexi.

Honestly, could there be a sweeter face?

2009-05-03T11:17:00.000-07:00

Jersey is just so freaking cute!

Did You Hear That?

2009-05-02T09:12:00.000-07:00

We heard an Owl on our walk today. It was pretty funny, the dogs stopped dead in their tracks and refused to move... so we busted out the camera and took a few pictures!

Fetch?

2009-05-01T10:19:00.000-07:00

Italian Greyhounds are terrible at fetch, they just take off and eat the stick.

Jersey has a Stick!

2009-04-30T08:04:00.000-07:00

Jersey picked up a stick on our walk today and thought that it needed to die... so she killed it.
