The niners are 11 days old today. They are all doing very well. Momma Glory is such a great mom and has been taking care of them beautifully.

We still miss little flag girl and wish she was still with us but for now she will be watching from above. We are enjoying these precious life’s each minute of the day.

It’s Official

Posted on January 24, 2018 by Sand Spring Chesapeakes

The 2017 UKC Conformation show season and the Top Ten Standings have been posted. When you show in Conformation in the UKC if your dog wins the class it is showing in and there is competition behind them they will win top ten points one point for each dog that they beat. The top ten dogs with points will be invited to the UKC Premier held in June at Kalamazoo, Michigan. They will show in the Top Ten show and there are semi finals and finals. You compete against all breeds of dogs and try to win over them to become the top ten dog. It’s a big deal in the UKC. I’ve held this position before. Gambler and I were first in the top ten two years in a row. When he went to the Premier we made it to the finals and was amongst the 10 finalists to be chosen from.

Here are the results of 2017 Top Ten Standings

There is more exciting news, there are 4 other Sand Spring dogs that made the Top Ten. Josey owned by Tom and Irene Pawlisch had a wonderful year, huge congratulations to them this is the second year in a row they were in the top ten. Riggs owned by Roger Glasgow and JoAnn Stancer along with Gambler and Glory owned by JoAnn Stancer earned placements. This is Gambler and Glory’s third time being in the top ten. I’m pretty proud of all the Sand Spring dogs! Now we need to plan our summer vacation to the 2018 UKC Premier!

Get The Nursery Ready

Posted on January 10, 2018 by Sand Spring Chesapeakes

For 20 days I was sitting on pins and needles while giving Glory medication twice a day and tending to her surgical incision wondering if this breeding was going to take place. She got a bad infection after her surgical ai so there was a good chance the pregnancy wouldn’t happen. This truely is a miricle breeding and soon I will share our roller coaster ride not only the after insemination problems but the ride we took to get her bred.

Right now we are happy and we will continue to care for our glorious one to ensure she has a healthy delivery and healthy puppies.

My Favorite Christmas Photos

Posted on December 27, 2017 by Sand Spring Chesapeakes

I want to share a couple of my favorite Christmas photos with you today.

Josey and her ribbons.

This is the best decorated Christmas tree! Josey who is a Sand Spring Chesapeake Glory and Thunder 2015 pup sitting in front of her Christmas tree decorated with her ribbons she has gotten over the past 2 years. Lovely very Lovely!

Gambler’s sister YO-YO

This is a Christmas card that I got that features YO-YO (right) and her side kick Poacher. YO-YO is a Norman and Fatty 2011 pup, she is also Gambler’s sister and she is always into mischief just like Gambler. This is one of the best Christmas themed setup’s of Santa and his reindeer! Of course YO-YO and Poachers are big waterfowl hunters so only appropriate this is their Christmas card.

Hope you all had a wonderful Christmas! I so enjoyed spending the holiday season checking out all the beautiful photos of the brown curly dogs next to their Christmas trees.
