He 27 months old approx, born in January of 07, sire is TDY Chang Apollos, dam is Ironstone Sirius Leigh Adeva.
We showed at DeKalb, on Sunday, we only went one day, this weekend, kinda tired from nationals, and puppies, etc!!
Frank and Jim are new to the breed, kinda, and had posted about this show, and we were hoping there would be other entries, but alas!!! that was not to be, it was just us, with 4 of the CM dogs, Prunella, CM Serafina, and CM Venezia...
Vinny had 13 points already, so with 2 points; he received, he had his akc championship.
Thanks for noticing, I have been really struggling to put weight on him!! Like I said earlier, he had a little bit of a tough winter, and he is a slow developer, he is about the same as Prunella was at this age, Bill tells me... Also, some of the pics are from a few months ago, in the fall.
Prunella really started doing well showing at about 3.5 years, so I am hoping Vinny develops like his mom! Or better!
She is over 5 yrs old now, and gets mad if we try to go to a show without her! She cries, and yells, and chirps..
When we loaded her the other day for DeKalb, she was so happy!! Doing her little dance waiting to climb in the van.. She actually was retired after she showed at Westminster, in 2008, but..... she has looked too not go! And she loves to go, We have other girls that have long been retired, because they don't like it.
Do you work your dogs out? If all is well usually that will get them hungrier and will help put mass on the dogs. Raw feeding is the best!!!! Alejandro Gonzalez Mastino Del Valle Grande

I usually run my dogs so it will tire them out and then they won't have races in the house! Having a German Shepherd that likes to play keep away with toys makes for great exercise for my girl. Frank
You dont know how well a stud throws until the dog matures.... Puppies always look nice its when they grow up you can make a distinction between good and ok stud dogs.... just my two cents.. Alejandro Gonzalez Mastino Del Valle Grande
I think you are right, Alejandro, you don't know... I am hoping she will turn out great..
She is the sister, (same breeding) to our CM Zingara, I need to take new pics, and post... Ziggy is kinda going thru the uglies, a little bit, right now. But.... I'll try to get some new ones. Thanks you guys, for the comments.
