Today we had the last long walk of this year with Jag Junior (JAG LE CANNIBAL JUNIOR de la Chaume du Bois Dieu) and Jebelle (JEBELLE de la Chaume du Bois Dieu), the "silvester" walk in the fields. Sunshine, minus degrees, rime, two dogs which were full of energy, and the camera was with us. The pictures are in the Photo Gallery of Jag Junior (grown-up) and Jebelle (grown-up) as well as in their common album.

Today after short incurable illness Marvin (Caipirinha's LEE MARVIN) has gone over the Rainbow Bridge at 11:30 a.m. way too young at the age of nearly 8 years. At 2:00 p.m. the vet should have come, but the small weak body did not make it anymore. Marvin fell asleep quietly in the middle of his 4 and 2 legged family.
RIP little Angel, you will be missed here very much.

Only 8 days after her 14th birthday Gizmo (JESMINA GIZMO Kasiterit) went over the Rainbow Bridge. The memories of a very special girl are forever in our hearts, but the pain about her loss will never disappear completely. Again a candle has been lit.

On Ocotber 20, 1992, Arwa B. (ARWA Betkin dvor) was born, a daughter of our very first Briard Sándor (Rec. Champ. SÁNDOR von Anitzberg) and the dam of our B litter de la Maison du Garde-Barrière. And on Ocotber 25, 1998, our Gizmo (JESMINA GIZMO Kasiterit) was born, the little mouse with the heart of a lion. We are thinking of both the girls and have lit a candle for each of this darling.

Today Steel (Champ. Silver Bluff STEEL KING LEGACY, SOM) celebrates his 12th birthday. All the very best for this sweet little boy, who should have actually been here for only one year. May he spend many more healthy years with us.
Als But when time had come to arrange his return to the USA he was not welcome to go back to his former owner - she wanted to have him neutered and placed immediately ..... to his FIFTH home at the age of not even 6 years. This was a no go for us, even more since Steel had settled in so nicely and had got trust. Therefore, he stayed and we are happy about that as the time he spends here since 2009 was an enrichment for him and us.

The past four days Keanu (Multi-Champ. Whisperingln' THE DEVILS ADVOCATE) and I have spent in Hungary, where we spent once again some great days at our friend Judit. Reason for the long weekend was the three days international show in Komarom. Time had come for the next day to be presented in veteran class. After 4 years off from show rings Keanu was full of motivation and energy like ever, it was a pleasure to show him myself. On all three days he got the Exc. 1 and CAC in his class and was each time Best Veteran. The words of the judges about the 10 years boy fill us with pride. A heartfelt thank you to all three sirs for awarding Keanu with such excellent judging reports. With the results of these three days Keanu fulfills the conditions for the Hungarian Veteran Champion.
Luckily the weather had compassion with all of us, till Thursday evening it was raining. Though it was very cold (during one night we even had frost) we could warm up ourselves a bit in the sunshine besides the tents. We spent a good time at the show ground and could meet lots of friends again. All in all a very nice weekend.
As always a big thank you to our hostess Judit, who took lots of effort - as always - that we feel comfortable and have a great time in her house!

It is 19 years ago that our Briard B litter was born. In remembrance of our singleton Batida (BATIDA DE COCO de la Maison du Garde-Barrière) we have lit a candle.

The first Briard in this home was born on 10/01/1990: Rec. Champ. SÁNDOR von Anitzberg. Needless to say that he is unforgotten, we have lit a candle in remembrance of him.
On 09/25/2000 our first Briard breeding female went over the Rainbow Bridge: ARWA Zevar CS, SchH1. She too is unforgotten and a candle has been lit for her.
