 Family pictures before Ava leaves.  February 23, 2012 - Lime Girl now known as Himmlisch Ava Sings High Country Snow "Ava" with her new human mommy Gayle and daddy Larry. She lives in Colorado and you'll be seeing a lot of Ava (agility, herding, obedience, rally). Gayle's 15 year old Standard Schnauzer "Jazz" was the first SS bitch to receive a MACH! Ava has some big paws to fill. I am honored to have the opportunity to show Ava in the conformation ring from the bred by class. . .can't wait.

 March 24, 2012 - Ava attended her first agility trial this weekend. The first two pictures are Gramma Kathi and Mama Liebe with Ava. Liebe was soooooooooo excited to see Ava! The last picture is Ava napping in the x-pen with her "family" (notice how Ava has all the comfy beds!). I was so impressed with how well she did with all the noise and commotion of the trial. Gayle was able to show Ava's sit, down, shake commands plus tugging with everything going on around her. She met so many new people and every size of dog you can imagine. Good job Gayle and Ava! We couldn't be more proud. 
 
 
 April 23, 2012 - 16 1/2 weeks old - 14 1/2 inches x 15 inches - Ava came over for the afternoon and some grooming. She did so well. . .laying on the table while I worked on her coat. Then it was play time with the Himmlisch gang. . . and some nap time too. 
 August 1, 2012 - 7 months old. After a grooming session, Ava and Gayle show me all their "moves". Very impressive. . .they are doing a wonderful job of training! |
