Good kids!

So happy to see Darbi and Miikka's babies growing up and doing well!!

At the Logan Lake trial in BC:
Elmingo's Violence on Request (Prime x Darbi 2008) WINS the Qualifying one day and had a 3rd and a 4th on other days.

Elmingo's Pacific Eider (Shaq x Miikka 2007) placed 3rd in one of the Qualifyings at the same trial after winning the Qual in Lethbridge.

In Saskatoon:
Elmingo's Little Man (Shaq x Miikka 2009) placed SECOND in the Open one day and qualified for the Canadian National at 2 1/2.

Elmingo's Prime Suspect (Prime x Darbi 2008), after her WIN in Lethbridge, went to the last series in 4 of the 6 Opens she ran up north.

Backwater Smokin Turq (Prime x Darbi 2008) placed in a couple of trials in Canada after, as as you know, recently qualifying for the US National.

And Miss Libby (Elmingo's Flip Your Lid - Shaq x Miikka 2009) also qualified for the Canadian National with 10 staples in her side!  She's such a trooper.  The staples are out and she is fully healed from her latest attempt to harm herself.

While Darbi and Miikka are both spayed, I have my eye out to the future of Elmingo Retrievers.

Libby is also spayed, which makes me a little sad as I think she would be a great addition to the gene pool.

Ahti is intact, but she won't be bred for a year or two at the earliest.

BUT Meg is going to become a mother later this year and I'm getting one!  Meg is Elmingo's Prime Suspect and she is being bred to last year's US Top Open dog FC Fresh Squeezed Juice.  Should be a fabulous breeding and I'm on the list!  I'm getting a little boy to raise and develop, but I'll get a little girl from Meg to keep for myself down the road and add to my breeding program.

If you're interested in this breeding, let me know as the waiting list has already started!!!

I may not have any litters myself coming up, but I'm so pleased to see my lines grow and develop and carry forward.
