And now onto Boxer Updates!

Lexi and I spent six days on the road in Kalamazoo, MI last week.  While I was looking forward to spending time stamping…I had brought along Lesson of the Month cards to finish up…I was thrown head first into a situation that encompassed all of my waking hours. With her assistant unable to make the trip, Lexi’s handler was left without any help.  In addition to assisting in getting dogs groomed and in the show ring, I agreed to room with and take care of four Boxers and a Great Dane.  All were very sweet dogs, and I survived…with no time for stamping or relaxing! I was up at the crack of dawn and in bed late. But what a new experience! I just love Otis the Dane.

Lexi did a fabulous job showing, and scored a MAJOR win! Just won more victory, and she will become Champion Lexi Lou! I will be certain to post her win picture just as soon as I receive it.  It’s hard to believe that we almost lost her in January.  She is so sleek and sassy now!

And guess who else is returning to the show ring this summer to pursue her Grand Champion title? Yep! Champion Do You Know the Muffin Man will be heading back and doing what she loves best…strutting her stuff in the ring.  

And for those of you who have been wondering, she will be having REAL babies next spring…no more football…

or fish!

On a sadder note, brother Brody will not be returning to the ring as originally planned.  We spent time at the vet yesterday, and the decision was made to neuter him.  He has developed a prostate problem, and part of the course of treatment involves neutering him.  AKC rules do not allow altered dogs to show in conformation classes. 

While the decision saddened me, I will always do what is best for my babies. I was looking forward to seeing him back in the ring again. He was a gorgeous boy who held such promise…his last victory being a Best of Breed win.  But regardless, he will always be a champion in my eyes.  Until next time…
