Camper at the 2012 ASCA Nationals - Bakersfield

Ebbtide One Happy Camper shown by breeder co-owner Ann Atkinson

   EBBTIDE ONE HAPPY CAMPER  is just that! Camper, age 2, had a joyful time at the 2012 National Specialy in Bakersfield. In her Rally debut, owner-trainer Maureen McKee-Eidson enjoyed great success in as Camper qualified in all 3 shows (just out of the ribbons in huge classes) to earn her ASCA Rally Novice (RN) degree. All this, and happy, confident and solely postive trained with the clicker.  Huge congratulations and thanks to Maureen for her excellent work and dedication! I'm certain more great things will come in Rally and Obedience with this motivated team.
   The photo above, however, is of her SECOND PLACE win in the American Bred class (20 entries) of the ASCA National Specialty Conformation classes.  I was thrilled to show Camper to this nice win under judge Gail Karamelegos.  Camper started to blow her coat about 2 weeks before Nationals, but we decided to show her anyway.  I'm glad we did!
  Camper and Maureen will be making their AKC Novice B obedience debut in March. If you haven't met Camper, be sure to make an introduction: She's a beautiful, friendly, outgoing and humorous member of the Ebbtide family. Oh, and ask Maureen to show you her bounce.  Camper is from the talented "Camping" Theme litter (what else?!) : Sire by CH Calais Carolina Vintage T-Bird "Vinnie" and out of  Ebbtide As You Wish  "Cali" MultipleGr1BBX.

 

First Official Win Photo - ASCA National Specialty 2012 - Yogi

EBBTIDE TROUBLE IN JELLYSTONE NA. NAJ,  NF, RS-N, JS-O, GS-O "Yogi"

    He was anything BUT Trouble at the ASCA Nationals in Bakersfield Nov. 2-11, 2012.   We are so proud of  Ebbtide Trouble In Jellystone NA, NAJ, NF "Yogi" and owner/trainer/handler Barbara Hasey!  

     Yogi earned 5 ASCA Agility Titles: 

• Novice Regular
• Novice Jumpers
• Novice Gamblers
• Open Jumpers
• Open Gamblers.  

  The placement breakdown for the week:

• WCASA Pretrial  5-Q's, 4 First Places,  Second Place, 1 Third Place 
• PASA Pretrial  4-Q's, 1 First Place, 2 Second Places, 2 Third Places, 1 Fourth Place 
• High Plains ASC Pretrial High In Trial Open Dog 6-Q's, 2 First Places, 3 Second Places, 1 Third Place. Yogi was the only Open dog to complete the last gambler's distance challenge that day, so the only dog with 6 Q's.

 And then Barbara says:  "Nationals he only got 1 Q and 1 First in Jumpers."  Only? ONLY?!   I'd say it was a great first ASCA Nationals for Barbara and Yogi.
(Q means a Qualifying Run)

      Congratulations to Yogi and Barbara on a  job well done! Just one of four of the talented "Camping" puppies to perform at the 2012 Nationals.

  Fern and I recently took a trip to Oregon and Southern Washington.  We had the pleasure of visiting old friends and old Ebbtide puppies.  Many thanks to the Kirkpatricks for their gracious hospitality and wonderful care of their dear dogs, "Sophie"  Ebbtide Sophie's Choice  (the Academy Awards Litter) and "Eddie"  Ebbtide Eddie Bauer (the Camping Litter).
  The Kirkpatricks and  Washington never disappoint, even in the rain: The Rhododendrons were in full bloom, and I borrowed a raincoat (who goes to the PNW without a raincoat?...me.) and headed down to Lake Sacajawea Park in lovely Longview and stomped about and took alot of  photos:

I told you it was alot. It was beautiful.  My only complaint: I hope to see a group of Rhodies in that bare spot to the left of the fountain NEXT time I come. (And less rain.)

Ebbtide Call Of The Wild "Piper" aka Peanut

Peanut/Piper At 12 weeks of age, above and below

We are pleased to announce that Peanut - now known as "Piper" Ebbtide Call Of The Wild is happily ensconced in her new home in Castro Valley, CA with owners Lynn Ungar and Kelsey Hartman and their daughter, Mattea. "Piper" shares her home with two other dogs (with tails!): a 9-year-old Bernese Mountain Dog, "Coretta" Sunshine's Freedom Rider CDX RE DD W-FDM/MF W-FDX/HTM) and a five-year-old Belgian Tervuren, "Taz", LandmarkMontage Puppetmaster CDX AX OAJ OF RE W-FCh./MF W-FDM/HTM. As you can see, we are thrilled that Piper will be the beneficiary of Lynn's skilled training and handling!

Piper loves her new mom, Lynn!

And Lynn loves Piper

Piper adjusted quickly to her long-tailed, pointy-eared brother, Taz, who played very kindly with her at their first meeting and continues to keep her engaged. In fact, she likes him so much, she wants to have ears like him, too.....hmmm....we're hoping that is just a teething thing.

Here is the official Christmas photo Lynn sent:

Ebbtide Trouble In Jellystone "Yogi" at 12 weeks

Yogi works on his sit stay...

I just got these photos of Ebbtide Trouble In Jellystone "Yogi" (aka MuscleMan) from new owner Barbara Hasey, Concord, CA. She and Yogi are busy training towards Agility competitions. Barbara enjoys his high toy and food drive, energy, quickness to learn, athleticism and that his tail is always wagging. Sounds like it's a great match up! I'm happy Yogi has "big brother" Cody to set a good example, too.

Hope I get some more photos and updates SOON from more of the "Camping" litter! Yogi is sired by CH Calais Carolina Vintage T-Bird and out of Ebbtide As You Wish.

Yogi gets released from his sit stay...

aahhhh..that's what he was after: The tug!

Yogi loves his grandbaby

Yogi loves his big brother, Cody, too.

Happy Thanksgiving

My son, Marshall, and "Eddie" Ebbtide Eddie Bauer right before I left to deliver him to the Kirkpatrick family in Longview, WA last week.

I'm thankful for my wonderful son and his love for all the dogs that have been in his life.

Ebbtide Campin' Out "Campi"

aka "Almost"

"Campi" is at her new home in Dallas, Texas with Cathy Franklin and Mark Sutton and dog-sis, Flirt. We look forward to seeing her do wonderful things in performance events and...?

Auntie Ariela has a saying that fits this photo: "So cute it hurts"... I have to agree.

About her name: "Campi" is also a play on words for bicyclists Cathy & Mark. Arguably, one of the finest road bikes is made in Italy - Campagnolo...also known as Campy. I guess Cathy changed it to Campi to look Italian...

There may be some minor confusion between "Campi" and "Camper" Ebbtide One Happy Camper (now owned by Maureen McKee Eidson and myself, living in Ukiah, CA), but since they are separated by some 2000+ miles, I gave the ok. Time will tell.

Puppy Diaries...Day 41...Where Ann Says "Kennel ! "

We found this new thing in our pen outside:


Muscleman went in first

It had our pillow in it.


We went inside to check it out.


L toR in crate: Camper, Muscleman, Almost. By bowl, Sky; Marshmallow hidden.


SURPRISE! Ann handed us bites of something REALLY REALLY tasty.

OMG! IT WAS GREAT!!!!!

We heard Ann say "Yum. Leg of Lamb." "Kennel."

Then she took our picture.

AGAIN.
L to R Camper, Muscleman, Sky, Peanut, Almost (asleep!?) Marshmallow at rear. Bean was asleep in the airline crate.

Ann made a movie of us in the crate, but Blogger wouldn't load it :-(

The Puppies Diaries....4 weeks and 6 days

Even though we are incarcerated, we are keeping busy.


LL Bean racing off to...somewhere...


In fact, every day - sometimes 3 times a day - our jail changes.


We overheard Ann say it "stretches our brain".... but we never felt anything...


Sky holds her new toy firmly in place.

The biggest news today: Our food was served crunchy. We really like it crunchy. We liked it so much, we sent back our mushy stuff later. WE LIKE IT CRUNCHY!


Almost admiring the Crunchy Food


We got 2 new sleeping pillows today.


Peanut checking out the new pillow

And many new toys. That poor orange chicken. "Bean" snuck up on him and must have scared the chicken - because it made a horrible sound.



Peanut in the bowl again, Marshmallow eating again, LL Bean with the chicken again


And we still spend alot of time sleeping


Almost...sleeping


Almost and Bean sleeping

Our mom sleeps, too. Sometimes we stay awake while she's sleeping



Peanut and sleepy Cali

Most the time our mom is keeping a lookout for Things Up On The Hill...


Mom...looking

When we asked her what KINDS of Things On The Hill she is looking for, she said "Things That Might Hurt Little Nosey Puppies"



Marshmallow looks for Things On The Hill, too
