Today Story (Caipirinha's ON SILENT WINGS) moved to her new home.
A heartfelt thank you to our dear friend Dorka for her trust in our breeding, and that she decided for this sweet girl. We wish both lots of fun, joy, luck and success, and we look already forward to our next reunion.
Esprit (Caipirinha's ON CLOUD No9) and Macho (Caipirinha's ONE MAN STANDING) are back home from their first training weeks at Dorka and can now toll around again with two sibbling. But not for long as they will soon be sent again to the trainings camp. Thanks Dorka for the great work with these two.

We received sad news today in the morning: Briard Femmy (FEMME FATALE GRISE de la Maison du Garde-Barrière) left to the other side of the Rainbow Bridge. Our thoughts are with her owner and we hope she gets some comfort with all the nice memories she has from that girl. What Femmy's mother Yazoo (Multi-Sél. LOULOU des Cèdres de la Montagne Noire, CGC) was in the show ring, was Femmy as a working dog. She succeeded great in obedience, defence and IPO by gaining the examinations BgH 1-3, SchH 1-3, IPO 1-3 and GH 1-2 in the years 2002 to 2004. We are of course very proud of Femmy and her owner that this team was so successful. Thanks for the wonderful home that Femmy was given and thanks for all the love and care during many years!
Rest in peace sweet Femmy and run free with all your family.

Today there was once again a longer car ride was on the agenda for the rascals of the O litter. Esprit (Caipirinha's ON CLOUD No9) and Macho (Caipirinha's ONE MAN STANDING) will now spend 2 weeks at our dear friend Dorka for getting a bit training. Reason to take the opportunity for getting new photos of all; Maverick (Caipirinha's NEED 4SPEED) was also joining us. Some picutres turned out to be quite nice and are now online in the various Photo Galleries: Esprit, Macho, Sterling's puppies with Keanu and Maverick. Lots of thanks to Dorka for the great help to have new photos as well as for the willingness to work once again with two youngsters from here.
After the photo shooting we were off to other friends: Bea and Norbert. There Bea got some grooming and skin care hints for a Chinese Crested that she handles at shows. After that we took again photos and we were successful to get a great shot: a shadow picture of Caipirinha's ON SILENT WINGS.
In conclusion of a very successful day Bea and Norbert invited for a delicious dinner, and then we started our trip back home. Thanks to Bea and Norbert for the nice hours in their family and of course also for their hospitality. Hopefully we can repeat something like that soon.

We have received sad news again: today Falco (FETICHE FALCO NOIR de la Maison du Garde-Barrière) had to go to the other side of the Rainbow Bridge. Our thoughts are with Ylenia and Dennis, and we have of course lit a candle for this great boy.
A new family member has entered our lives and home: Sambo (SAMBO FAUVE de la Chaume du Bois Dieu - born 8 April 2001) urgently needed a new home at the age of 11 years and we decided to adopt this sweet boy to fill his remaining time with love, care and happiness. Thanks a lot to our dear and wonderful friend Corinne for having taken the effort to get the boy from his former home, clip him down because he was allover matted and then bring him to Salzburg where he could be picked up by us. We hope Sambo settles in fast and now finally gets to know what life can be in a loving and caring home.
Today it is 13 years ago that our E litter (de la Maison du Garde-Barrière) was born. In remembrance of these 8 kids out of our dearly missed two dogs Yazoo and Samson we have lit a candle for Einstein, Romeo, Esprit, Shadow, Whoopy, Cou, Echo and Raven.

It is 3 years ago today that our sweet girl Whoopy (EXCUSE-MOI WHOOPY de la Maison du Garde-Barrière) left us to walk to the other side of the Rainbow Bridge ...... a candle has been lit ......

Our O litter is now in the 4th month of life and the rascals have lots of fun in the garden as far as the weather allows it. There are some new photos which have been put to the Photo Gallery/Sterling's puppies with Keanu. We have also set up photo galleries for Esprit (Caipirinha's ON CLOUD NO9) and Macho (Caipirinha's ONE MAN STANDING) - see the Photo Gallery.

Today Keanu (Multi-Champ. Whisperingln' THE DEVILS ADVOCATE) finally came back home after a 10 days stay in Hungary and at the Adria ...... he was missed extremely while his stay off. With our dear friend Dorka, Keanu has participated the Adriatic Winner Shows 2012 and came back with FIVE NEW CHAMPIONSHIPS. Therewith, he has his TENTH TITLE and out them nine were gained within only one and a half years. Needless to say how proud we are of our star. All his new titles can be found in his Introduction page as well as in the page with the Show results. A pretty photo of Keanu has been put to the Photo Gallery /Shows Keanu .
Again our heartfelt thank you goes to Dorka who has handled Keanu in such a great way and who did not hesitate to take the effort of 10 shows, so that another dream comes true for us. Thanks also to Norbert who brought Keanu today to Austria and who, together with his wife Bea took care of our boy during the past three days.

With a heavy heart we had to get to know today that Lexi (GAULTIER'S GALAXIE de la Maison du Garde-Barrière) walked to the other side of the Rainbow Bridge on 27 April - not even one month after her 10th birthday. Our heart goes out to her owner Ilonka and her family ......
Lots of thanks that you gave this great daughter of our still so very much missed Oh-Lala (Sél. OH-LALA des Monts d'en Crauzille) such a wonderful home for nearly 10 years.

The puppies have been on a car ride yesterday ...off we went to our dear friend Dorka for a photo session. Some of those pictures are now in the Photo Gallery/Sterling's puppies with Keanu. Tomorrow the rascals are 11 weeks. Lots of thanks to Dorka for spending this time, and to her family for the usual great hospitality!
And today we were off to the vet for the next vaccination. They did again very well.
April 19/21, 2012:
Our O litter is now in the 11th week of life.
Because of all the rain during the past days they couldn't enjoy much time outside. All the more was the joy when finally today they could toll around in the garden. We have taken some fun pics of the rascals and put them to the Photo Gallery/Sterling's puppies with Keanu.
April 9, 2012:
Yesterday and today we have taken some photos of the puppies, which are now in their 9th week of life.

The puppies of our O litter were eight weeks on April 4. All the more reason to take some snap shots. Unfortunately some puppies lost their "ear decoration" as they tolled around so much with their siblings. But because the weather was only nice for a short time we decided to tape the ears again after the photo session.
The new photos have been put to the Photo Gallery/Sterling's puppies with Keanu. For the next days we plan to take some nice stacking pics. Hopefully this works with the little active crew.
Yesterday was litter control: everything ok, a well balanced litter with pretty heads, very good shoulders and hind angulation, all have scissors bites and are of good sice and weight for their age.
April 2, 2012:
Exciting day for the puppies: first car ride to the vet, health check, first vaccinations and microchips implanted. They did really fine, no problem at all, and they had some fun while exploring the veterenary clinic. We are very proud of this "gang".
