RHUBARB @ 5 MOS
At left is "High Desert's Bugle Bay Rhubarb;"
she's Pineapple's youngest puppy.
She started her show career in November '08
(along with several of her littermates),
and finished her Championship in Nov '09.
In this photo, she's practicing her "stack,"
the required show pose; she's getting it.
She's planning her own puppies (Fall 2010).

| MANGO AT 11 MONTHS
This is Mango; she's Pineapple's older puppy.

Texas Dog Show in September 2006. She won.

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. |
Elizabeth (@3 yrs) and Sugar (@3 mos) Watching TV...

divine guidance...or something.
