A sure winner

This is Banjo, aka, Wesann's Sea of Dreams, as he competes in a recent dog show, the human legs shown beside him belong to Margaret, his handler in the the Italian Greyhound competition. He is co-owned with Margaret by Angela Davis, who has raised and bred Italian greyhounds for 30 years.  And, as you can see, Angela knows dogs....anyway, Margaret had stopped raising dogs for competition years ago but has decided to get back into it. She and Angela were friends form Margaret's earlier dog days so Margaret went back to see her for an IG (Italian Greyhound). It so happened Angela had Banjo and his mom and dad that were from Margaret's and Angela's  blood  line.  Is that not something! It was a sure sign for Margaret acting as conformation to her desire to show dogs again. So, here they are...Margaret and her Champion IG! You watch for more from Banjo. He has the right stuff.  At only 10 months of age with the right training he'll go far.  Just look at that gait! 
The little stinker is a ball of energy  running through out the house. He chews anything he can carry in this mouth.  He'll dig through garbage cans and stand up to reach dish towels or any thing else he can swipe off of a counter top.  In the blink of an eye
 he'll have destroyed the ill gotten goods and be back for more.  But...just look at that gait!


                                                               

Introducing newest members of the pack.....

Cyrus would like to introduce the newest members of the household.
These are Margaret's newest babies.  Banjo, an the Italian Greyhound,
which she is training to show.  He is a pretty pup and to say he is full of himself is an understatement. 
 

 True to this breed's character, Banjo, will chase anything he sees running; a real sight hound.

This is Rikki, a darling long haired chihuahua.   He is not a puppy, he is 3 years old, and has been shown many times.   Margaret is helping Tessa, ( our Grand-niece who is 11 years old ) to become a professional handler and Tessa is handling Rikki.  Tessa has been in 9 shows and has already made it to Junior handler and worn all but 2 of the times she and Rikki have been in the ring.  She a Rikki are a great team.
