More time has gotten away from me! Tesla has been my main focus, especially since she had her gorgeous daughter, Musicur’s Fancy Like, POA, AKA “Reba”.
The title behind Reba’s name stands for Puppy of Achievement which she earned by winning many puppy classes. She topped it off in April by winning Best in Sweepstakes at the San Diego Specialty a year after winning Best Beginner Puppy at 4 months old…..at the same Specialty!
Since Reba was a singleton, we were anxious to repeat Tesla’s breeding to “Chesney”, now known as BIS GCHS Birnam Wood’s Country State of Mind, SDHF. On August 27, 2022 Tesla blessed us with 8 beautiful babies. Two of the males went to a show home in AZ to live with the Loftus family. This wonderful family has been actively showing these handsome brothers named Finley and Wall-E.
This is Wall-E and Finley with their owner, Mark, sitting on either side of their older sister, Reba, at the 2023 Western Regional in AZ. In this photo they are 6 months younger than Reba. They took turns winning 1st and 2nd in their 6-9 puppy classes over 4 days. It was so much fun!
October 2021
A lot has transpired over the past 4 years, the saddest being the loss of my mom, Helen Howard. But we got to live together for her last 5 years and I learned many lessons of love and forgiveness; I miss her dreadfully. We also lost several of our old dogs during this time multiplying our sadness. Then the pandemic hit and all dog shows in CA stopped, taking away the joy of showing our beautiful Goldens. But time does heal somewhat and that is why I am so happy to announce “Tesla” won a 3 point major at the Black Mountain KC dog show in Henderson, NV on Oct. 17, my daughter’s birthday! Now we are counting the days until she comes in season to be bred (see the Puppies page).

THEN…..a few days later on Dec. 14 sister Payden AKA CH Five Star N Walker’s Escapade flew to Florida for the National Championship shows.
