Start of a New Year!! 2011 Last year went great for the boys. Stitch placed in groups several more times, won several breeds and ended the year
as the #6 mini bull terrier. For his career he has placed in the top 10 mini bulls 3/4 years showing, is a multiple group
winning, and mulitple group placing mini bull terrier! Not bad for my first show dog that I bought as a pet! But now he is
retiring. He will just be showing at a few select shows, specialties, and as a Jr's dog! I can't totally take him out of the
ring, cause he just loves it to much!!! Toby was shown very limitedly last year, but did manage
a couple of big best of breeds and some decent looks from the groups. He is starting his specials career this year,
but I am taking it slow. He is still a young dog and I don't want to burn him out to quickly. But look for him at shows in
the NW. He is a beutiful dog and we look forward to him doing well. And Congratulations
to all the Mini Bulls who have done so well this year! When I started showing Stitch there were usually only one or two other
dogs to compete with, and now the breed has grown, and we are getting so many nice dogs out there! Way to go all you Mini
Bull oweners!! It's the best breed around if you ask me, and it is nice to see so many others that feel the same way I do
and who are working hard to improve the health and quality of the breed! Here's to a great new year for all of us!!!!
June 26th & 27th---Clackamas Kennel Club--Canby, Or Stitch showed both days at this show. He showed great for Jackie on Saturday, but alas no pretty ribbons, but
congratulations to BlackJack for taking breed that day. Ruby, Stitch's daughter (Nederes New Venture at Draymia) went
Reserve winners bitch, and his grandson (Its all about da nuse AZ) went winners dog. We had a great turn out of mini bulls
and it was a nice day. Sunday Stitch went Best of Breed AND Group 4! (picture to come), Ruby
got reserve again, and his grandson winner's dog! The weather was fine, and we had a great time hanging out with friends!
I am so proud of my dogs, and their offspring. It is so much fun to see how the next generation just gets better! Can't wait
for the rest of the year!
January 2010-June2010 Stitch has been showing most of the year, and has won many breeds at several shows in the northwest, including Puyallup,
Seattle, Albany, and Kalamath Falls. He has been doing wonderfully and I am very proud of him. Toby
has been shown limitedly this year and has had several compliments. He is still young so we are letting him grow up some before
we speial him too much. But am having a lot of fun with him for sure. Our new addittion Elliott
had his first show ever at the Australian Shepherd national at Purnia Farms back in Missouri. He turned 6 months the
day of sweepstakes. He got some good hard looks and showed really well. He has a lot of potential, but there were a lot of
nice puppies in his class! Continue to look for us at shows around the Northwest. Also there has been a new Mini Bull Terrier club started for here in the northwest! It is the Nortwest Mini Bull
Terrier Club of America. Check our links page to find it. You don't have to own a mini to join and we are doing lots
of fun activities around the area. Be sure to go and take a look at it.
November 12, 13, 14 & 15, 2009--Roseburg, Or
Shows Stitch took Group 1 on November 13th, his second time for the
year, and was in the running for best in show! He did a fabulous job and the judge liked him very much! It was very
exciting! Pictures to come! Toby Tyler finished his champion title with style on
November 14th, taking another 3 point major! He is Champion at 8 months of age!! I just love this good looking pup and can't
believe that he is finished already! Thank you again Gayle and Dick Denman and Daren and Tiffanie Gisseman for this handsom
boy!! Pictures to come!---Also Toby's litter sister Bindi finished the next day on November 15th in Arizona! How exciting
that they both got their championships on the same weekend! Way to go Gayle!! Cinderella

All in all not a bad weekend!!

16, 17, and 18. I packed up Stitch, Toby and my friend Jackie and flew down there just hoping to have a good time. Boy did
we. Toby, Gandalf's Didgeridoo calls for Adventures took Winners dog from the 6-9 month puppy class for a 5 point major AND
Best Opposite Sex for the National! I couldn't believe it. I stood their in shock for the longest time, not really sure if
I should believe it! And Stitch, Nederes' Adventures with Stitch, got an Award of Merit. Then for the specialty shows

did so well! Thank you to Evolutions kennel, and Gayle Denman Pew for Toby, and Nedere's Mini bulls for Stitch. And
