Christmas Day in our Nation's Capital

Tuppy and Bonkers

Tuppy and his pal Bonkers are hanging out. Tuppy was the tender heart in the group. He has great rear angulation and bone. Little ears and dark pigment. He loves to sing with the fire trucks that went by the house at 8 am every morning.

The Baron

Baron playing in his backyard. He's got a great personality (I think of him as the little boy scout in the group) and great conformation. He's got a lovely coat, "twelve o'clock" tail, and short short back. Baron is loved dearly by Ginger and Wayne.

Derby

JUST LOVELY!!

TriBeCa's Sir Derby Wyatt at MKC

Derby is on vacation and is having a great time looking at lighthouses, walking on the beach, and just playing with Julep. Look at Derby's beautiful rear and angulation. What a perfect tail set and big head.
Here's Derby showing us his beautiful neck.
I got a call saying that he is the image of his sire, Edward, and great-grandfather, George. Two great westies!

Derby loves his caregivers, Katie and Wilson, and they love him and are just super with him.

Pictures of Ming's Grandbabies (Sophie's pups)

We had the pleasure of stopping by on our return from Boston to see Sophie's babies. They were adorable and we had a great time holding them and taking their pictures. Sophie is doing well but is a bit tired of being a mommy 24/7. Sophie delivered 5 healthy puppies (4 boys and 1 girl).







Here is Sophie...a bit tired.

Updates - Tuppy

Tuppy posing for the camera - something he is used to. Here he is on the grooming table needing a haircut...

Announcing Ch. Tribeca's Audrey's Moon River (Audrey)

Audrey (Pink) finished in just six weekends ending with 4 majors (one at a Specialty Show) with 4 different judges. She finished strong coming in first place in her class, winners bitch, best of winners (between the winners dog and winners bitch), and breed (over a special). We are so proud of her!

Here is Audrey at her first and only show as a youngster when she was about 9 months old - thought we'd have a little fun showing her:


Here is Audrey as at 9 weeks:

Ming's Second Litter - Tuppy, Chloe, Derby, and Baron!

Poor little pups! They were being weaned by Ming and having a tough time of it.

Ming's First Litter - the Nine

Hey, we found some old videos we have not posted before, we think. Enjoy.
Piper is yellow- she shows up first. Duncan then walks by (green/black). Tucker (yellow/black), sleeping in the back corner, is a pillow for another one.

HAPPY (belated) BIRTHDAY TO THE 9: Audrey, Calli, Casey, Duncan, Julep, Piper, Riley, Sophie, Tucker

Let's go down memory lane with a few pictures. Can you spot who is who? Audrey (Pink), Calli (Pink/Black), Casey (Black), Duncan (Green/Black), Julep (Yellow/Green), Piper (Yellow), Riley (Green), Sophie (Green/Pink), and Tucker (Yellow/Black).

Dogs and Squash - (I meant the game!)

Ming, Audrey, Tuppy, and Chloe enjoyed meeting our friend, Miguel Angel Rodriguez. Miguel is here to play in the National Capital Open squash tournament and is a professional squash player (ranked 26th in the world). We all enjoyed having Miguel stay with us. If you all recall from our earlier posts, Ming and Ming's puppies have coveted squash balls as toys - perfect size and bounce for them.

More Pictures from the past week...

Edward at around 6 to 8 months.
Tuppy posing for us (8 mos.). Yes, he needs a lot of grooming. He has a profuse coat and it springs up very quickly.
Chloe also needs a good grooming.
