Patapin is
very proud to have five dogs in wonderful Quebec show homes.
The puppies are due to enter the ring in April, 2004. This page
will track their accomplishments. |

The Montreal
show was interesting to say the least. At the very last minute three of
the four Judges were replaced for unforeseen circumstances. One group 5
replacement Judge, honestly told me that he couldn't comment on my breed
as he wasn't licensed to Judge Group 5 and hadn't had time to read the
standard. Aside from seeing the Quebec Patapins perform, Yogi and I went
to show to respected Judge, Dr. Harry Smith at the Toy Specialty. Alas, it
was not to be.
There were plenty of highlights however. Newton finished his
Championship with 12 points, taking a Puppy Group. Wasabi took four
points and also a Puppy Group. She is now sitting on nine points. Yogi
took the breed at all four shows and came home with 20 points.
It was comforting to see that all my babies have wonderful nurturing homes
and Francoise's hospitality was out of this world!! It was an enjoyable
and very worthwhile trip.

In early June,
while half way to her Championship, Sabrina developed a
luxating patella in one leg. She was examined by a specialist
on June 10, 2004 and the diagnosis was confirmed. It was
graded 1 to 2. The other leg was clear. Needless to say that
we are all devastated.
Sabrina is out
of Big Girl. Big Girl is out of Sur and a leased American
bitch. This was an outcross. Big Girl was then outcrossed to
an outside American stud, producing Sabrina. The rest of the
litter is currently clear. This litter is the most diluted
(in respect to Patapin lines) that I have ever produced.
This is the
first congenital problem produced by Patapin. As I give a
lifetime health guarantee, I can only assume I would hear if
there have been problems. Although I have been advised "not to
throw the baby out with the bath water", Big Girl will be
spayed. This is consistence with the zero tolerance for
congenital problems at Patapin. This announcement is also
consistent with the totally open and upfront practice at
Patapin. Any and all congenital problems will be posted.
Francoise is
currently showing Patapin Peaches and Cream for me. The whole
family has fallen in love with Peaches and had enquired about
purchasing her. I am giving Peaches to Francoise to assist
with any surgery that Sabrina may require down the road. I am
also replacing Sabrina, and as my health guarantee allows,
Francoise is exercising her option to spay and keep Sabrina as
a beloved member of the family. June 11, 2004
