03/15/10 - We were happy to have BECK, from our Lassen x Sway litter,
come down from Oregon with owner Jewel Fuls this past weekend to join
the gang at the PASA shows in Santa Nella. Beck, along with his sister
MIA, they made their ASCA debut in style with Beck taking Best of Breed
Puppy honors and Mia taking Best of Opposite Puppy over a nice line up of
puppies at the morning show. Mia also won her class at the afternoon
show as well. Thanks to my friend Susan for handling Mia in the afternoon.
RUMOR joined her grandbabies at the show and took Best of Breed in the
Altered ring both times she was shown.

04/05/10 - Great weekend at the Delta ASCA shows for the Marabil Gang. RUMOR pick up two more Best of Breed wins in the Altered ring
with majors in bitches and multiple specials entered and JD pick up his first Altered Major going Winners Dog, Best of Winners and Best
Opposite at the first show. This brings JD to 11points with one major...just two more majors to go! This also marked a new milestone for the
Rumor kids with now four of the six being either major pointed or finished champions!
We also were back in the ring with our favorite altered class girl, Xena, and picked up another Major Reserve. Xena is always a blast to
show and was first or second the whole weekend in a large open black class. Congrats to Xena's owner, Karen, on the win.

06/06/10 - So proud of RAY who competed in his first herding trial this weekend after just a few times out on sheep. Ray did a great job and
gathered a ton on compliments from spectators and judges alike as put in back to back qualifying runs to earn his AKC PT title. (Photos to

05/30/10 - Had a busy (at times too busy) weekend at the NorCal ASC shows this weekend. In the Altered ring RUMOR picked up two more
Best of Breed wins in the Altered ring, along with a Best Veteran and two Best Opposite Veterans wins. JD was twice Winners Dog and twice
Reserve Winners Dog in Altered and Xena was Winners Bitch / Best of Winners once and Reserve Winners Bitch once. In the intact ring,
LUKE showed on Sunday only and was Best of Opposite Sex. On Saturday, Luke was in the obedience ring and put in a great Novice class
performance only to fall victim to his old nemesis....clapping! Yep, during the long down, the conformation ring broke out into applause for
the Veteran classes and Luke, being the gorgeous boy he his, just new all the clapping was for him...so he jumped up to take a bow! LOL
Poor Veronica! Still, they did great and I couldn't be prouder! Also multi-tasking that weekend was JD who picked up two qualifying runs,
both in first place, at the AKC agility trial in Novice Regular! Way to go Livia and JD on your very first trial!! (Pictures to come)
