I was so excited to finally meet Chesapeake Bay Retriever, Eden (GCH Cache River Albridens Cutie Patootie), at the Boardwalk Kennel Club show last weekend in Wildwood, NJ. She definitely IS a cutie patootie!  What a perfect name!

The dream  team, Kevin & Gabby ( GCH Guess V.D. Bovendijkse Hoeve CM6 RN CGC), at the Boardwalk Kennel Club show in Wildwood, NJ.  Gabby is a Berger Picard – a French herding dog.  This breed made it’s first ever appearance at Westminster in February and Gabby won Best in Breed.

So simple an image, yet so much communication is happening between dog and handler without any words (or woofs!) being spoken!

Do you know this breed?  It’s currently being shown in the Miscellaneous class and is called the Nederlandse Kooikerhondje.  The name is pronounced KOY KER HOUND YEH and means Dutch Decoy Dog.  They only come in one color – red and white with black markings and are often used for search and rescue as well as service dogs.  They just became eligible to enter the Miscellaneous class last July and have been assigned the Sporting Group designation.  Their little whiskers remind me of a cat!
