Schools' Open, School's Out!

Daisy Mae De Lamont -Summer 2009

Just as my two wonderful grandchildren (Taylor and Haley) are heading back to school, my two female Brittanies are just arriving back home from summer school!

Dolly and Daisy (pictured above) are back in the home kennel after six weeks of training at Bunny Brown's High Point Kennels.

Incidentally, Daisy's litter mate, HighPoint Blazen'Lamont out of former Natl Ch Bean's Blaze x Hello Dolly De Lamont is now officially standing stud at www.highpointkennels.com/

Catch Up Time!

Been a busy summer so have not spent lots of time staying current here.

Few catchup issues....first is RAIN (or lack of it.) We are located just a few miles west of the North entrance to the Mariposa Ranch and I stay up with rainfall amounts on their wonderful website. It's a large ranch and they show total rainfall in a number of areas, but it is a grim average for 2009. We are, as of the end of July,16 inches below the annual average by this time, 29.20 inch.

Question from a reader about how to contact John Dearman. He was, and I assume still is, represented by Collectors Covey. His consignment work is available through Luis Briones -- luis@friendswood.com or 281 482-2202. Hope that helps.
