My daughter Karmen has been urging me, and urging me to let her take out our Old Man Gabriel so she can show him at the Nationals in Greeley Colorado later this month  So we took both Gabriel and his daughter Miracle to  our local Marshall show to see how they would do.   They surpassed our expectations and soared!    Miracle took Best in Show Owner Hander on both Friday and Sunday shows,  while Gabriel took breed in some tough competition and went on to take a group 4 under Sonny Ambrosio   We are thrilled and blessed to have this success.

Update,  Gerd and I ventured off into the frigid north of Manitowoc WI.  Though it is April, the area was darn right chilling to the bone.  We were there for the Dog Show hoping to get some success.  Boy did we get success!   A great deal of gratitude to Judge Susan St John Brown and to Judge Kimberly Cavenna Meredith for rewarding our girl

Well Its been awhile since I have updated the blog, and I think its due time.  Karmen and I went to the Lousiville Dog show in Kentucky and we were very blessed indeed.  Miracle received  a Best In Show by Judge Robert Slay, and BOS at the Regional Specialty on Sunday.  We continue to be amazed by our girl in the ring.  Thanks Joel and Bethany for taking such good care of her, and letting us take her into the dog show world.

We are happy at OHeavens to be expecting little pitter patter of puppy feet in January, but we just had hoped that we would see more then 2 pups on the ultrasound.  Though they are few, they are precious......Will definitely send pictures as the little balls of fur arrive.  There is nothing in the world more perfect than otterhound puppy breath

In early November, we attended the Kalamazoo MI Dog show and the girls represented Otterhounds in the Owner Handler competition.  On Sat Judge Dana Cline awarded the girls a group 3, and the following day Judge Muriel Purkhiser awarded them a group 1 and free pass to Best in Show.  It was a great experience for the OHeavens kids, and I am very very proud of them!  I would encourage any otterhound owners to show under these judges, as I believe they really like our breed.  Happy Thanksgiving everyone!!!!!!

On November 13, with a progesterone of 12.8,  Dr Katie Gardner from Meadowlands Vet clinic in Washington PA, surgically implanted 350,000,000 of Luggy's sperm into Calli's uterus.  This is music to my ears.......now comes the hard part.  The wait.
Over the last few litters, this is the most unbearable time for a breeder.  We look for little inuendos, is she eating more?  is that morning sickness?  Does she look more plump than usual?   So I am focused on fast forwarding 30 days, with hopes that we see little walnut sized blobs in the ultrasound.   These are times of anxiety, and we hope that we can add to the otterhound gene pool, and happiness to those who are looking for an otterhound puppy.  I hope we get a tri color pup or two, or three, or maybe even more.  Note to self;  don't count your chickens before they hatch  ;)

In Early November, Karmen and Miracle attended the Kalamazoo Dog Shows and was chosen to show in the Owner Handler Competition.  Our first Judge on Sat was Dana Cline, who awarded the girls a Owner/Handler group 3, and on Sun Judge Muriel Purkhiser Awarded them a group 1 and a free pass to Best in Show.  It was a very exciting times for the girls.  Just got the picture back, and it is one of the prettiest we have ever taken. 




HOORAY FOR MIRACLE!!!!!
