MULTI BISS, GROUP WINNING & NEW GRAND CHAMPION

GCH CH OUI’S MIDNIGHT MAVERICK

Bart’s career, though still in its early stages and VERY LIMITED appearances, has already garnered him several very honorable accolades! 2 BISS, 2 Group One’s, 1 Group Two & a Group 4 (all very large entries) placing him #9 in both All-Breed & Breed Standings*!

Bo-Ty Bostons is very proud and honored that this special young dog has achieved this recognition,

ALL OWNER/HANDLED!

That in itself is beyond our wildest dreams with the very competitive west coast N/S group.

Bart is a friendly, sweet natured momma’s boy! He is a blend of style and structure, displaying his flawless movement, from every perspective (cover photo).

He carries himself with pride and elegance, an asset appreciated by judges and fanciers.

Puppies

By Michele Wrath

The arrival of puppies is always so exciting.

Some litters arrive like a case study out of a text book, with moms who pragmatically go about the business of whelping and rearing their pups. Others have a flair for the dramatic, in the best of circumstances providing the makings of a great story and in the worst of circumstances, leaving a trail of tears that fade slowly over time.

This most recent litter held none of the drama of our first, thank goodness! The whelping room was prepared well in advance of the litter. I did underestimate how soon the pups would arrive and the day I thought I’d start monitoring was the day that Ginger decided to have her puppies. All is well. At this writing the pups have begun to get up on their legs and propel themselves across the whelping box and the corners of their eyes are showing evidence of opening soon.
