It is the 9th birthday of Maverick (Multi-Champ. Caipirinha's NEED 4SPEED) and his three sibbling Tanner (Champ. Caipirinha's NUTBUSH CITY LIMIT) in Canada as well as Needy (Caipirinha's NEEDLESS 2SAY) and Toulouse (Caipirinha's NOTHING 2LOSE), who went to Germany. Herzlichen Glückwunsch to all the four, may the have many more years ahead of them and remain healthy forever. In my thoughts I am with the three which are not here; I hug them tightly.
Unfortunately I don't know where the two are who went to Germany to the same person. Toulouse was already placed when he was not even grown up. With Needy I assume that she has been dumped after she was out of breeding age (like it happened with her half-sister Minu two years ago). Regrettable for lots the contracts they signed is not worth the paper written on. I take all dogs back when they are not longer wanted, I have the preemptive right according to the contract, but there are many indivuals who don't care. I just hope that the two are doing fine and that they have a home where they are loved until the end of their lives.

Today is the birthday of Voodoo (Champ. Family Song's VOODOO), the first Chinese Crested. He's missed daily since about two years
May 19, 2020:
Today the winter hair were cut off on Maverick (Multi-Champ. Caipirinha's NEED 4SPEED). He felt totally great afterwards and I had to take a video of his joy. This is now in his Photo Gallery (link underneath the photos).
May 18, 2020:
The birthday of E litter de la Maison du Garde-Barrière would be today - born 21 years ago. For the 8 dogs of this litter a candle has been lit.
May 16, 2020:
My thoughts are with Whoopy (EXCUSE-MOI WHOOPY de la Maison du Garde-Barrière), who left forever 11 years ago.
May 15, 2020:
Today the P litter trio is three years. Happy Birthday to Prada (Caipirinha's PRADA PINK EDITION), Pagani (Caipirinha's PAGANI 2HOT 2HANDLE), wherever the two might be as I don't know if they are still where I gave them to in the meaning of a life long home. To Porsche (Caipirinha's PINK HOT PORSCHE) the wishes go to the other side of the Rainbow Bridge, where he went on May 18, 2018. For him a candle has been lit.

Because of the Corona virus and the recommendation to wear face masks I ordered masks and had motives of my dogs printed on them:

Daily I think about my wonderful best boy who left forever totally unexpected two years ago. The pain will never go, the tears for him will never disappear. Keanu (Multi-Champ. Whisperingln' THE DEVILS ADVOCATE) only continues to live in my heart. Each and every day I am grateful for the joy, luck, the great puppies, ...... he brought me. The lit candle shall show him that he is unforgotten.
May 1, 2020:
A bright spot amongst all the sad memories: Today Hippie (Multi-Champ. HIGHPROVOCATION) celebrates her third birthday. The most heartfelt congratulation to this pretty, great girl, who brings joy to me day by day.
One more successful girl here who exactly a year ago gained her first Beauty Champion title at a five day marathon show, and then until beginning of October 2019 had four championships all in all. Of course we continue ...... when the situation about the Corona virus goes back to a "normal" direction. Let's see if we can manage what we intend to.

There is a new video of Ula in her Photo Gallery (last link besides the photos).
April 22, 2020:
Nothing but memories: today would be the birthday of Arwa Z. (ARWA Zevar CS, SchH 1), dam of the first Briard litter in this kennel. And she, too - like all the others which have already gone - is forever unforgotten. The candlelight shall show her on the other side of the Rainbow Bridge that she in my thoughts.
April 15, 2020:
I got some nice designs of my Briards from Zoya in Russia for being printed. I bought sweaters and a friend printed both heads on them.

She waited for me to come home from my USA trip to help her get on her last journey on the same day: Oh-Lala (Sel. OH-LALA des Monts d'en Crauzille), January 23,1998 - April 14, 2010. Still so very much missed, forever unforgotten ......
April 13, 2020:
It is 7 years ago that Sambo (SAMBO de la Chaume du Bois Dieu) - only a few days after his 12th birthday - went over the Rainbow Bridge.
It still hurts that he only had nearly a year to enjoy his life the way he should have deserved from beginning on. Still I cannot understand that there are people who take an animal just to let it veg out ...... without care, without suitable sleeping place, without love, ...... just feeding and serving water. A candle has been lit for this loveable boy.

Today it is 18 years ago that the G litter de la Maison du Garde-Barrière was born. The thoughts are with these six offspring and their parents. And it is 16 years ago that Sambo (SAMBO de la Chaume du Bois Dieu) was born. Also he is in the thoughts, and a candle has been lit for all of these dogs.
