Ch Lady Olivia CGN PCD


Here is the newest picture of my girl Olivia. Such a nice dog. She has always come through for me and has always pulled off everything I ask of her.

We hope to give Rally a try next. Keep checking for updates on how we make out.

New Champion


I am so proud of this team.

Presenting New Champion VeGrenan's Trapped Ina Moment handled by Heather Smith and shown finishing under Judge J Ireland at the Oromocto Dog Show. Thank you Mr Ireland for recognizing this beautiful young dog.

Watch for Appy in the working rings this fall.

Four in a Row

Once again VeGrenan was well represented at the shows. This time on the gorgeous island of PEI.

The weather was great although a little hot for my taste Saturday. Sunday was much nicer and the rain held off just until after we were finished showing.

Edward went Best of Winners Saturday morning and Sunday morning for an additional 3 points.

Priscilla went Winners Female Saturday morning for another point. Her and Edward seem to be gaining towards their championships in a pretty even race.

However........the Cinderella story of the weekend for me was my "baby" Miss Vivian going Best of Winners on Saturday afternoon. This gives Vivian her major win and with that I could have just floated out of the ring. Let me say that this little girl earned her cheeseburger treat this day.

Yes, I said cheeseburger. The show rule is, any dog getting points or earning a leg at a show gets a cheeseburger on the way home. So this weekend it was cheeseburgers all around.

While I am sooooo happy to be on such a role, I have to say that I am looking forward to a few weekends off from the shows. I just hope it does not put a jinx on my hot streak as I will be back at it July 10.

However, next weekend at the NSGSDC Specialty, I will be a proud Grammy watching from the sidelines as VeGrenan's Aiko the Terrible RN tries his "paw" at Rally Advanced. Good Luck Aiko!!!!!!!

Third in a Row

WOW - We had yet another amazing weekend at the shows. This was the Oromocto show. I love this one because it is such a pretty site.

Appy finished her Canadian Championship under judge Jack Ireland. Winners Female in the afternoon show on Saturday. She got to stay home and relax and basque in her glory on Sunday.

Edward picked up four points. Best of Winners both shows on Saturday and once on Sunday.

Priscilla picked up two points going Best of Winners Sunday morning and Winners Female Sunday afternoon.

Hoping to have yet another great weekend coming up. Watch for us at the PEI shows.

Proud of Olivia!!




I am such a proud dog owner right now. My young Bullie has obtained two titles in one week. The first being her Canadian Championship last weekend in Beresford NB and now her PCD obedience title this weekend in Lunenburg NS.
Olivia has never ceased to amaze me. She is a "worrier" and always seems to have the weight of the world on her shoulders. Oh, don't get me wrong, she loves to play and has a great time with her sister, but she takes things very seriously, and yet, she has always came through when the pressure is on. I may be on the end of the leash, but all the credit for her three titles goes solely to her. She has always been a champion in my eyes, but now she has the certificate to prove it.
What's next? - well Ch Lady Olivia CGN PCD goes in for her hip and elbow OFA's next week. After that, I am hoping to try the Rally rings with her. If all goes well, she will be a mama late Fall 2010 or early in 2011. I just know I will be keeping a daughter. Already have a named picked out.
See you at the shows!!!
