It has been a very hard and stressful time deciding on a new vet for our kennel.
Our long time vet and friend Jay French retired April 30, 2008.  He was always there to take care of our precious dogs and give us advice with our breeding program.  He was with us through the good times and the sad times.  He will be greatly missed.

WELCOME Dr. Marc Davis
We have talked to and worked with several veternarians over the years and they have all been very good and knowledgeable.  But today, after the 2nd time to talk to Dr. Marc Davis of The Glens Animal & Bird Hospital, I knew he was the one!  He understands and recognizes good breeders!  I can tell he is going to be a wonderful sounding board.......... Pulling no punches ... but giving honest advice and exceptional care for our dogs.  To be perfectly honest... I was hesitating to ever breed again.  As a breeder... my veterinarian is an essential part of "the team"!   

Happy New Year  by "Sergei" Rylatt

Mom & Dad stayed up until it was New Years in every time zone!  I was sleeping on the couch and opened an eye every time the fireworks went off and every body screamed... Don't they know that an old dog like me needs his sleep??!!
Several really good dreams were interrupted!
I did think of some New Years Resolutions though.

1.)  Get a little more sleep.

2.)  Get a few more treats between meals. 
(Mom is trying some great recipes for dog cookies and I hope to be the chief's sampler)

3.)  Learn how to close the door behind me when I get into my crate ... those younger dogs just don't know when to stop pestering me to play with them!  Everything was just fine before Mom decided to add them to the pack... geeezzz.

4.)  Spend more days basking in the sun.

5.)  Make it to my 13th Birthday!!
