Congratulations to Shane and LeeAnn Johnson, CJ's family on the arrival of
Graham. CJ's new human brother will soon come to love her as much as we
do.
September 2008
The weather has cooled down, but the competition hasn't. We headed to a
show in Rochester and CJ turned the heat up. On Sunday, September 14 CJ
earned her first points towards her show championship. Spending the
summer at bird camp has done well for her.
Also over the wet weekend our Papillon friend Fly earned his AXJ title. This boy
continues to burn it up.
Not to be out done, Timber is the first Cruiser's dog to earn an Advanced Rally
title at the Rochester shows. Way to go everyone!
Puppies also had an exciting weekend taking the trip to Rochester with me.
They played with several new friends and had a wonderful day.

Thank You Veteran's and those active on this Memorial Day
St. Peter Success!!
The Twin Cities Vizsla Club Specialty was May 23 and the City of St. Peter
rumbled over all the excitement. The young dogs started off showing well in
Sweepstakes. Then the Veterans showed that they can still strut their stuff.
Radar earned a Best of Opposite Sex in Veteran Sweeps and Trisha showed
she can still move with the best of them.
In regular classes, we are please to announce that Leo not only won a very
competitive Bred By Exhibitor class, but also was awarded Winner's Dog for a
5-point major. We couldn't be more proud of this young Missy/Bryce son.
Radar won the Veteran's class, which earned his a trip to breed along with our
Specials Star, Hunter and Holly. All of them showed well, but Radar went above
and beyond and was awarded Best of Opposite Sex at the Specialty. That was
also followed up with a Stud Dog win with his get Mikki and Major.
Way to go!!
This was also a successful weekend for Cruiser's friend Fly who completed his
OA and OAJ titles and moved into Excellent over the weekend in only a hand full
of trials. He is truly a Superfly.
Happy Mother's Day!
And a what a day it is. Radar gave me the best gift by earning two Q's at the
CPE Agility Trial. He Q's in both Jumpers and Colors. What a great start for his
first CPE trial.
Also making a great Mother's Day for Eva was weimaraner Hunter who
completed his Junior Hunter title today. He went 4 for 4 on his passes.
After a very difficult April, May helped to bring some tears of happiness. We
headed to Madison, WI for the Central Wisconsin Vizsla Club Specialty and the
All-Breed shows. Now that he is a Veteran, Radar was able to compete in the
Best Veteran Class and in the Group. He looked like her was being carried
around the ring by Ruby. He was so happy to be back in the ring. At the
Sweepstakes he finished behind Ralph and made a nice showing.
Hunter won the Hunting Dog class and made it to the final cut for Breed, as did
Holly. She made a nice showing after a two-year break from the ring.

It is with a torn heart that I share the sadness of losing Ruby today. Ruby did
not make it through her surgery to repair her leg from her accident.
Cruiser's Red Corundum "Ruby" 7/12/2007 ~ 4/30/2008
Ruby, your time with us was short, but you will always be thought about. You
were the light at the end of the tunnel and the smile in your parents hearts. We
will miss you!
April 29th Ruby was hit by a car and will require surgery to reset her broken
leg/toes. Please keep Ruby, Adam & Jess in your thoughts as Ruby goes in for
surgery and starts her long road to recovery.
Radar is a Grandpa again! Congratulations to Honey and Csonka on their new
puppies. Contact Jill for information on this wonderful litter.

Best Puppy and on Sunday she was Best Bred-By, followed by a Bred-By

advantage. Cruiser's Red Corundum "Ruby" took Winner's Bitch and Best of
Winner's on Sunday, March 23rd at the Dubuque, IA KC show for her first

Winner's Bitch on Saturday and also to Eva Phillippi for helping take a few red
