FLASH..UPDATE ON PUPPIES!!
Joey is going to his new home this weekend. He will be moving to North Carolina, near Raleigh. Hank is going to Scottadale Ariz to be a family companion and work in Performance and Therapy activities.
There has been a a lot of interest in Sweet Pea, the little blue girl that is still available.

November 2008

I am pleased to announce the birth of a healthy 7 puppy litter to

Raincrow's Violet Blueberry (major pointed)

Laser, (U-CD U-AG1) Ch Coedwig Vestavia Luminescence CDX,HT,PT,RAE,OAJ,OA, NJP,NAP, ROM-G, CGC.

Violet is the sister to Lily and Gus and Peppe. She is co-owned with Beth Tanner she lives in Corinth Texas, near Dallas. The pups were born Oct 24, she had 3 b/w boys, 1 /w girl, 2 blue boys, 1 blue girl. So far, so good. Mom and pups doing great.

December 2008

Made a quick trip to the Denton Texas area to pick up my pick puppy out of Violet's litter (bred to Laser).Beth Tanner, (Violet's co owner) has done a most excellent job with the seven,, all healthy and well adjusted. I chose Amos, a black and white male with brindle points to come back to Missouri. He will be offically known as Raincrow's Razzle Dazzle. We have high hopes for him. As does Beth, who has selected Tegan (a black/white bitch) and Tristan(a blue merle dog)out of this litter. Three more are available: a very typey blue merle bitch, (Sweet Pea), a really handsome blue merle dog (Joey) and a wonderfuly big boy named Hank the Tank.

January 2009

Gus (Ch Raincrow's Augustus Gloop) has gone to live with Janice Caulley , his new co-owner. Look for Gus and Janice around the Rally/Obedience Ring, and doing public service work in the St Louis and surrounding areas.

Here are the first Cardigan champions from our first Cardigan litter at Raincrow. The litter theme was Willy Wonka candy after their sire Willy.

CH Raincrow's Augustus Gloop "Gus" finished his championship in August 2008.

CH Raincrow's Scrumpdillyicious "Lily" finished her championship in August 2008.

Below is Buster, Raincrow's Oompa Loompa. Because Buster is a mismark, he could not be shown in conformation. Buster is Terry's performance Cardigan. He has his CD and his RE. Buster is also an agility dog.

Buster, Gus and Lily are littermates to Violet the dam of our new puppy, Amos.
