As I stated in my post Ugly Dog my puppy was born on Easter Day, March 31, 2013. Unfortunately my breeder lives six hours north of us so I hadn’t had the opportunity to see the puppies yet.

Sometimes, however, things just have a way of working out….

My oldest daughter is a student at BYU-Idaho. BYUI just finished winter semester this weekend. As it worked out, the Malta VJP was also this weekend, and Malta is only an hour and a half from BYUI.

I arrived in Malta around Midnight Thursday. I spent the night in my truck out in the hills. I would like to say that I slept in the back of my truck, but anybody that was anywhere near Malta that night would know that I was lying. The wind was blowing so hard that I thought my truck was going to be blown back into Utah.

Friday was fun! I got to watch five pups and their handlers run the VJP. Everybody did great and had a lot of fun. My breeder was there and we were able to talk about the puppies, training, hunting…
(several more ran Sat & Sun but I wasn’t able to be there for it.)

Saturday morning I picked up my daughter and her friend and headed home.
It just so happens that our my breeder lives directly on the path home. We stopped and visited him and Bry and her puppies.

Here are a few pictures:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We all had fun! Just a few more weeks to wait.
