Rave did very well at her very first show. At just over a year of age Rave was Best of Opposite and Best of Breed to start her show career. She was happy and relaxed and we had fun in the ring.

Rave is growing - here she is at 5 1/2 months of age
September 5 & 6/09 Bernese Mountain Dog Club of Ontario's Specialty
"We had lots of fun at the Bernese Mountain Dog Club of Ontario's specialty on Sept. 5 and 6th. Granite won Best Male and Best in Sieger show while Rave's mom Buttercup was Best Female in Sieger show. Also Heike showed very well at her very first show - she was 2nd in her class at the Specialty. We took this picture after her bath the day before the show. We would also like to congratulate Sue Wilkinson and her girl Wagenblast's Ivaila Janyse who earned the first leg in Rally Novice"

During our Specialty show banquet I was thrilled to be awarded an Outstanding Service Award by the Bernese Mountain Dog Club of Canada for the various volunteer work I have done for the club over the years and was also thrilled to pick up Greti's Versatility Award.
June 26/09 Granite CD Title
Granite completed his Companion Dog title at the Bernese Mountain Dog Club of Canada Specialty show in Trios Riviers Quebec. He was High Score in class, one point off of the High In Trial score for both trials with scores of 193 1/2 and 195. We are now working on some Open work and also some drafting.
May 30,2009 - Rave arrives!
We traveled to New York and brought home a wonderful wiggly puppy named Rave. Thank you to Patty Gill for this precious girl. Visit Rave's web page to see how she grows.
April 26/09 Granite Obedience Trials
Granite was High Score in class and High score for a Working Dog and second place in class at the St. Catherines and District Obedience Club trials and gained two legs towards his Companion Dog title. He blew one trial while working on a really nice score by not coming the first time he was called. Too bad but that now gives us a chance to trial at our upcoming National Specialty show in Quebec.
28 January 2009 - The Wagenblast J Litter arrived.

Granite takes Winners Dog at the Bernese Mountain Dog Club of Ontario
provincial Specialty show to finish his Championship in grand style.
With no coat I almost left him home that weekend - sure glad I didn't!!
Granite's half sister Janyse (daughter of Greti) also competed - it was her first show but she stacked up like a pro. Of course this was AFTER she had rolled and rolled and rolled in the grass just prior to entering the ring - such a party girl!!
October 3rd 2008
Greti and Granite both tried Rally at the match put on by the Bernese Club of Ontario.
None of us had ever done this before but it was great fun. Greti earned a High Score in Class ribbon and Granite would also have had a High Score ribbon if I had not made us miss a station giving us a non-qualifying score. Oh well it was fun and we supported the club.
May 4th 2008
Greti earns her Draft Dog title. Combined with her Championship and Companion Dog titles this new title qualifies her as a Versatility Dog!!
