                                                                                                       - Jeannie               

NEWS:  Jeannie's mating has once again been delayed.  We hope to get her mating done within this calendar year.

Other NEWS:  The 2008 Imp X Hawkeye litter is placed at St Francis.  We are thrilled that puppy Achilles will be raised at Bland.  Numbers of our pups have been raised at Bland by various of the trainers there.  We are delighted with the care our pups receive at Bland.  We are similarly thrilled with puppy Alpha being home raised by someone new to St Francis.  What a great responsibility for Alpha to introduce someone to the wonderful world of helping others thru dogs.  Good luck boys!  Puppy Hoss is very happy here at Ynda, being raised by his mother, Imp, and of course, Andy and I with help from all his aunties, uncles, sire Hawkeye and cousins.

Jeannie gives me ringside kisses at Potomac

 Jeannie is every conformation person's dream come true.  In 2002 when we knew June was carrying a singleton puppy out of CH Chelon's Mac The Knight, we picked out 1 name for a male pup and 1 name for a female pup.  The 'Dream' names we chose represented the blood tie to June, Midsummer Knights Dream.  The puppy was a male, and the rest is history -- he became our beloved Martin, "I Have A Dream".  Naturally, when Martin's first litter was born (to Jasmine), we named the darling, feisty little girl the 'other name' we had held close.  " I Dream of Jeannie" thus was christened.  Her song I sing to her to the Stephen Foster tune is 'I Dream Of Jeannie with the dark brown eyes."  And every day I tell her, "I dreamed of you before you were born."  And I did.

Jeannie has always loved to travel and to be with us.  Many was the time as puppies that she and sister Ella would vie for our attention.  That's how I think Jeannie got her 'hey, look at me attitude."  You can certainly see it in the show ring.  Jeannie just sets herself squarely and wags that tail, asking for her treat AND to be noticed.  I have never had to hand stack Jeannie -- everything you see is truly her. 

Jeannie finished her United Show Champion and Grand Show Champion titles almost before she was leash broken.  She went on to earn not 1 but 4 Best In Multi-Breed Show awards AND a Best In Specialty Show award.  We take her out sparingly so as not to 'burn out' her love of showing.  Jeannie was in the UKC Top Ten in 2005 and 2006.

Jeannie at LRC Potomac showing herself off !

Jeannie is a delightful girl who is always full of herself, who loves to play and run with the other dogs, who is ready for any adventure life throws her way.  Jeannie is eager to please, wants to be with us and is always cheerful.  She is 21 inches tall, has all her clearances and is dominant black (like her parents).  Click here to see Jeannie's clearances at OFA
