PARSNIP @ 14 MOS Meet Parsnip; she's Rhubarb's puppy and Pineapple's grandpuppy. Here she's practicing for a show, demonstrating how splendid she looks on the ramp. More Parsnip on her Personal Web Site.
	RHUBARB @ 5 MOS At left is "High Desert's Bugle Bay Rhubarb;" she's Pineapple's youngest puppy. She finished her Championship in Nov '09, and has since earned her Rally Advanced (RA) & Companion Dog (CD) titles. She's now a Mom, giving birth to eight beautiful puppies in December of 2010. See Rhubarb's Personal Web Site.
MANGO AT 11 MONTHS This is Mango; she's Pineapple's older puppy. At left she's practicing her show stack at the Lubbock, Texas Dog Show in September 2006. She won. CH Bugle Bay's High Desert Mango CGC RA CD is her full name -- she's now an AKC Champion, and has also earned her RA and CD titles. See more on her Personal Web Site.
	PINEAPPLE @ 11 WKS She's the Mother of 10 beautiful puppies from two litters, six of which are AKC Champions. Those Champions earned her the coveted Register of Merit (ROM) title. Named "Bugle Bay's Upside Down Cake," what could we call her but Pineapple? CH Bugle Bay's Upside Down Cake CGC RA ROM, is also an AKC Champion; see her Personal Web Site.

Here's Pineapple at 6 months, ready for Christmas.

SUGAR at 6 MONTHS Sugar (now deceased) celebates being 1/2. She appears to be expressing her opinion of the flavoring (mouse) which her brother (Elvis, the cat) chose for her Birthday Cake. Her registered name was "Bugle Bay's Spoonful O Sugar".
		SUGAR STACKED This is Sugar shown "stacked" -- this is the pose she must use when competing in AKC-sanctioned dog shows. As you can tell, it's not a natural pose for any pooch, but it shows them to their best advantage for the judge. My wife (Sue), who handled Sugar (Pineapple, Mango & Rhubarb, too) in shows, is doing the stacking.
