One of Phoebe's favorite things to do in life is having one of her toys placed in a tree around 11 to 12' high, to where she will spring up and down till until she gets it, here are a few shots of her this morning.....

Phoebe & Monti "The Siblings"

noreply@blogger.com (PHIL AND JACKIE STEELE) — Fri, 20 Mar 2009 15:38:00 +0000

Even though they have the same parents, some repeat breeding's can throw totally different looking pups, however in this case, Monti has so many physical attributes that Phoebe has with the same loving tendencies to go with them....

Here is a few shots of them playing in the back yard together, the likeness is a joy for us....

Introducing Fall Hollow's Coat Of Arms V. Britusa

noreply@blogger.com (PHIL AND JACKIE STEELE) — Fri, 20 Mar 2009 15:24:00 +0000

Well here he is our "Monti"... Fall Hollow's Coat of Arms V. Britusa, what a great pup, his temperament is just amazing, we have never had a pup with such an amazing all round disposition... unlike Phoebe we decided to crop him, he has amazing angles and coloration to boot, bone structure of an elephant and the love of an angel.....

Spring Is Here....

noreply@blogger.com (PHIL AND JACKIE STEELE) — Fri, 20 Mar 2009 15:19:00 +0000

After a very cold and miserable winter we have ended up coming in to spring at long last, we had over 140" of snow tons of ice and wind chills of -40 degrees Fahrenheit..... We ended up getting a new member to our family; Monti came out of a repeat breeding and is to all purposes Phoebe's brother and he is just wonderful....

The Pups Are a Growing!

noreply@blogger.com (PHIL AND JACKIE STEELE) — Tue, 21 Oct 2008 00:54:00 +0000

Well it has been a while since I have had time enough to post, Both Tess and Phoebe are growing like weeds, they seem to be settling down to living at the new home too...

We have been trying to deal with moving home, going to the Nationals, which ended up being for a day instead of the week we had intended on it being, however good friends were met and new ones made.

It was wonderful meeting up with a dear friend Jan from Parthenon's Kennel, where our Athena came from. Here are a few pics of the pups as they have grown over the last few months....

Tess came home to us today, she is 11 weeks old on Monday and is very talkative, loves playing with Phoebe & tries to manipulate Tobi, Thea & Bella.....

Carla Rotunda from DeWitt's Court brought Tess to us in an amazing 3 day marathon, our sincere thanks goes to Carla, Tess is just a wonderful Natural Blue and brings to our home love and grace.... We have a fantastic pup & have gained a true friend from North Carolina...

Britusa's Boarding Kennel Resort Begins....

noreply@blogger.com (PHIL AND JACKIE STEELE) — Fri, 20 Jun 2008 03:22:00 +0000

After much deliberation, planning & designing, the boarding kennel/resort finally begins; it is going to take months & months of dedication, hard work & I am sure much soul searching, hopefully we can have all the outside completed before the first snows in Fall. We are not to sure how long the entire project will take, all we do know is it will be an interesting venture.....
