Elmingo Family

We've arrived in Texas for our annual Winter Trip.

It's also time for the annual Elmingo Family Portrait!!

No dogs were harmed in the taking of this picture...although a number of them were threatened.

From left to right (click on the picture for a bigger view):

Elmingo's Little Man "Zink" (Shaq x Miikka 2009)

Elmingo's Flip Your Lid "Libby" (Shaq x Miikka 2009)

FTCH AFTCH Revilo's Red Hot Rumors "Miikka"

Elmingo's Hat Trick "Gordie" (Arson x Miikka 2011)

FTCH Revilo's At Full Tilt "Darbi" (she beats me, I swear she does)

Elmingo's Cutting Edge "Razor" (Prize x Darbi 2011)

Backwater Smokin Turq "Turq" (Prime x Darbi 2008)

Elmingo's Tic A Tee Boo "Ahti" (Prize x Darbi 2011)

Elmingo's Prime Suspect "Meg" (Prime x Darbi 2008)

As you can see from the Darbi puppies on the right, she seems to throw very LARGE males and little females no matter who she's bred to.

Gordie looks like the biggest Miikka pup I've seen so far.  He's only 4 months old and has a lot of bone.

I'm very proud of all my "kids"...near and far.  I'm so lucky that a few have come back to us to train so I can spoil them still.

I'll try to get a better pic of them all in the future, but Meg is in season...so we had to stick her off in the corner.

I'm especially proud of the up and comers in this picture.  Zink was a top ten derby dog in the US last year.  Libby was top 20.  Turq was a Canadian National Finalist at 2 years old and his sister Meg is hot on his tail becoming QAA in 2011.  Momma D finally got her Canadian FTCH last year and her Prize pups look like they'll be fun in the derby this year.  So much to be proud of.

And Gordie...sweet Gordie.  With his father's recent passing we are holding him near and dear.  He shows a lot of promise and we're excited about his future.
