Information about show results and whatever else we deem newsworthy.

Lanvern's Quidi Vidi Dame Ember - "Ember" - August 31, 2010
	Hello Fran and Yves, just a little update to let you folk know all is going great with Ember. She has taken nicely to our home, in fact, it's like she has always been here. She is absolutely gorgeous and most people are completely smitten with her. We had her to our vet today for her initial appointment, and he is truly impressed with her and has given her a clean bill of health. UPDATE Ember is the dearest little girly! Thanks so much for the advice on Saturday- she loves her crate and since she has slept well she is so full of energy! It is funny to try to take photos of her since she seems to not like the camera. I feel like a sneaky paparazzi type! Hope you like these photos. You have done such a lovely job with helping add to our family. Jackie and the crowd

"Camo" - August 8, 2010
	Hi Fran & Yves, Sorry it has taken so long for a picture . He has grown so much since the day we brought him home. Here is Camo (4 mths old) with Stephanie. (she really spoils him) He has such a great personality, our neighbors kids just love him. Also he love his cottage cheese . Thanks again for our bundle of bit. Chris & Curtis :-)

Lanvern's Power Play - May 27, 2010
	"Marcus" is now in his new home with his new owner Carole Walker and has Shelties to play with - he will strut his stuff in the show ring when he gets a big boy - good luck with him!!!!

Lanvern's Ocean's Eleven (Lexi) - January 26, 2010
	Here is "Lexi" settling very well and having fun in the snow. Hi Fran, Rick and I just wanted to say thank you to you and Yves for all of your advice and encouragement! Lexi didn't have vaginitis Mark just encouraged us to give her a treat while she is doing her business. She hasn't had any accidents since. You really are a wealth of knowledge. Thanks again Jessica and Rick

Lanvern's Obvious Perfection - "Opie" - January 26, 2010
	Hi Fran & Yves. Just thought I would give you an update, even though it's only been 2 days. Opie seems to be doing excellent and is getting along very well with all of us & our other dogs. Our old Rotti doesn't seem to even notice her, but Igor keeps a pretty close eye on her.........now if only our cat would relax. Opie has gotten quite playful with us today, a great sign that she's relaxed and feeling comfortable at her new home. She's already sleeping in her crate without much fuss. We've discoverd she really likes cheese, Benjamin's toys and Peytons toes! She's quite smart and already reacts to us calling her name.......by the way, Amanda is calling her Princess, and so far, treating her like one too. :-) Thanks so much for all of your help and willingness to share your knowledge of Bouviers. You breed beautiful dogs and we're thrilled to have one from you. We'll definetly keep in touch. Take care and enjoy the attached photos of Opie making herself at home! . Update March 9/10: Hi Fran Opie is getting groomed tomorrow. I'll take some pictures of her tomorrow afternoon, when she's done, and send them to you. Opie looks like a box, she's perfectly square, very solid and has a beautiful head. She is growing, but I think she'll take after Nano, not Hummer. Talk to you tomorrow. Jason & Amanda Kostuik

Lanvern's Obviously Cool (Cooter) - January 24, 2010
	Thanks for checking- Just got back in the house from taking some snowy pictures. Well we are on to day 6 and things are going excellent . Yes he is eating better about 3/4 cup 3 times daily on average. In the morning and at one is his best, he loves to play and gets distracted sometimes. Harold had his first 2 days with him while I was at work and it went great. Every thing is fair game for him, he now chases the cats with the Cav and he body checks that Cavalier and rough houses,he is defintely all boy. Going in his kennel for naps and nite time are not his favorite but he has gotten pretty good about that to . He definitely thinks the world is his oyster so will make sure he has some boundaries. Thanks for checking and oh yes only one Code Brown and was when I didn't close his kennel door properly and he snuck out. Stay cozy Barbara UPDATE; Hi Fran Well he is back eating a full cup 3X day. Feed him in same room as Sampson and it is amazing what a little competion will do. Had company on the weekend and he was great interested in what they were doing just sort of sit back and assess and if they got up he was checking out where they were going in his space. He is super about coming when called and sticks with us when we are out. He is a star. Barb

Lanvern's Ophelia (Maja) - January 17, 2010
	Hi Fran Here are a couple of photos from our little "Girl." She is completely at home here, and although she likes to snuggle against this big oversized bear I have laying on my bed, she does not cry at all for her Mom. It's cute though........she will do the "baby thing" against the stuffy's tummy, as if she is looking for teats. We don't have much snow, but what there is of it, she loves. I think she could live out doors........I have to chase her to get her into the house!! She is learning to sit and "wait" for her food, and I am slowly teaching her simple commands. She is a smart, sensitive dog, and I know she will be easy to train. She has been weaned from sleeping in my bed now, and sleeps next to it on the floor where it is cooler. Usually in the morning, I will let her out around 5 or 6 am, and then she wants to come up and snuggle the last hour or two. Have a wonderful day. Christine and gang. Update April 210 Hello you two wonderful dog people! Here is a photo of our little (growing) Maja! Isn't her color just spectacular???? I love her so much! Thank you again for the wonderful spirit. She makes me smile and happy to come home. All the best from our home to yours. Christine and gang.

Lanvern's Orthello (Oliver) - January 17, 2010
	Hi Fran and Yves Your majesty is doing well and Ken has spoiled him already. Can't wait to see Ken at an obedience class with him!!! He is very playful and enjoys the company of our other dog, Jasper. He was good and tired yesterday from all the playtime they had together. I do believe he likes this warm BC climate!!! As soon as I get organized from my grandchildren's christmas pictures we will be sure to send you pictures and keep you updated. He has the most lovable nature to him. Anyway we will stay in touch Carol

Lanvern's Oliver Twist (Oliver) - January 17, 2010
	He is doing great! He slept through last night without a peep. Irene had him retrieving in about 10 minutes and he loves it. He has a very strong prey drive and is very dominant! He is going to grow into quite the boy. I called Yves last night to let him know. We are going to down load some pictures for you in the next couple of days and send them along to you. You were right he is a real character and FULL of energy. He absolutely goes nuts over Irene. He has met most of my family already and he is so good with all of them, he doesn't play strange at all. This boy will be loved to pieces just like Kobra was. Thank you again for allowing us to get this Pup from you. He is awesome. Again we will down load some pictures ASAP. UPDATE; He is doing great! He is starting to ask to go out to do his business, and he has learned how to sit on both voice and hand signal. He may need to have a bottom tooth out though. We will keep an eye on that and let you know. Irene tried to send you a picture last week but it got bounced back because your e-mail was too full. We will try again. He gained one pound between last Wednesday and Saturday. I will weigh him again in a few days. He is very smart and is fitting in beautifully. My entire family (brother, sisters,Dad,Aunt, In-laws) just love him to pieces. Thank you again for such a perfect match. I can not believe how consistent your pups are in their personalities. He is so much like Kobra I find myself calling him Kobra at times and I know you might think it is habit (I am sure it is to an extent) but it is because they are so much alike in the way they think and act. This is an absolutely beautiful Pup! Thank you! Pictures will be forth coming. They take up a bit of space so we will send one or two at a time over time, so you can see how he is growing. April 2010 Ernie Hi Fran: Sorry, our camera hasn't been working but here is a picture from a week ago. I won't be able to do this much longer - as you can see he is getting a little bit bigger. Ernie Ingrid & Ernie Russell

Kevin Bundschuh - January 17, 2010
	Dear Fran & Yves, our new pup, who is at this time unnamed, is a complete doll! She has settled in at our house in a very positive way...everyone adores her... On the mark of 60 minutes, one of us takes her to the potty pit and recites the command..."DO IT", with little hesitation, she does her business, or at least tries. We have also made progress with the "OFF" command, she understands that a full stop is required, and goes another way, only after making eye contact...cool! Surprisingly, she is able to sleep through the night, with no calling, barking, or whining. She is a very good girl. She has selected her spot adjacent to the dining room set where she can duck into the low areas of tables and chairs....of course we obliged by moving her blanket there. She is getting stronger as told by the ease of getting to her rear legs as she jumps on her favorite people.....or witnessed as she gallops from one end of the house to the other. She is eating her kibble without the use of yogurt but she does prefer it (wait till we introduce her to Tuna Water...yum) Photos to follow.

Lanvern's Magic Man (Winston) - December 6, 2009
	Dear Fran and Yves sorry it took so long to get back to you. We are doing very well with our new puppy "Winston". He is growing like crazy and we can see him doing different things every day. He is so smart. He has had his first shots and was very good and is scheduled for his second set the first week of December. He is such a good boy and was well worth the wait for him to be part of our family. He is loved by all. Take care, thank you again. Doris,Rick and Winston Lethbridge.

"Tasha" - November 12, 2009
	Hi Fran: Status Report - What a sweetheart and pleasure Tasha is turning out to be - not that we're surprised. She is in a routine now for eating and potty. She goes in her crate for bedtime and sleeps through the night and she also goes in the crate while we are eating or leave the house - never for more than a couple of hours, in the latter case. She and Alfie (the Cav) get along just great. They wrestle and chase each other and she loves to sit and observe the llamas and survey her domain. She eats just over half cup of Eukanuba three time a day, with some cooked chicken or tuna stirred in (she's masterful at picking out the add-ins)!! Tasha had her first visit to the Vet to-day and all the staff fawned over her. The Vet described her as "in excellent condition" and said to continue to follow your instructions. Our observation - and the Vet's - is that she's a very contented and secure dog - she has no problems meeting strangers or dealing with new situations. We certainly enjoy having Tasha as part of our family. December update Dick and Louise

"DIAMOND' - November 12, 2009
	Fran: Here are some pictures of "Diamond" and my son Max - they are having the best time together - she comes everywhere with us - and is very social. I took her to Max's school and all of the kids loved her - Diamonds went around the circle of kids (who were sitting in a circle on the floor of their classroom) and licked very kid. As you can see she has made herself at home. Barbie really loves to play with Diamonds but Frankie is just tolerating her for now. Thank you again, she is fabulous. Andrea Clarke

Alberta Bouvier Specialty 2009 - November 7, 2009
	A huge congrats to Shawn and Jenn Maertz who owns iPOD. At the Alberta Specialty Jenn went best of opposite sex with iPOD, her first Bouvier and first time out in a show ring - way to go - who knows what they will do next time around!!!!

Nobella is home - October 28, 2009
	Just wanted to let you know everything is great so far, and we decided on Nobella. The ride home was awsome, Nobella curled up on her new mommy's lap and seemed quite content. The intro with our son went very well, as did the intro with our big boy "Guthro. They are both so excited, Nobella has unleashed the pent up energy of our Guthro, but we asssume that will change as soon as the novelty wears off. Guthro has already given up his food for her, when she came to sniff his supper he calmly stepped aside to let her in. Of course we stopped her before she had any, but we think it is unanimous....we are all very much in love. So far everything has been perfect that we are half afraid it is a dream. Thank you very much for our little girl. Nobella and her new "big" friend Guthro where she is doing great and eating awsome. We had to get up once at 4:30am for her to go pee. She had her first trip with me to-day. I took her for a walk/carry to my office to show my co-workers and to start getting her used to city noises and traffic. She was great. More interested than afraid which I find fantastic. She loves to play soccer and is pretty good. She seems to be settling in great, so happy to have her in our lives. December update Terry, Jacqui, Robby, Guthro and Nobella Wist

Bogart - October 13, 2009
	Hello Fran and Yves Just a brief update on the progress of Bogart. Bogart has become quit the character in our home. He fit in with our family very quickly and it is hard to believe a little over a year has passed since we picked him up from your home. He is a very intelligent individual who takes great pleasure in playing with his other canine friend Jersey. Bogart was the small one that ran around trying to keep up with her for the first couple of months, but he surpassed her in size by the time he was 6 months old. When he arrived home he was 17lbs and at his first birthday in April he was 83lbs. in June he was 88lbs and today is still growing at his current weight of 95lbs. As you told Wendy when she asked for a pup that would grow, �be careful what you wish for�. Bogart has a great temperament and loves people. One thing that surprised us is how vocal he has become, not by barking, but will come up to you and try to get your attention by making a series of deep throated sounds. Hard to explain, but he loves to talk? Attached are some pictures from the day he arrived home at 17 pounds and at his birthday at 83lbs. He has filled out and gotten a bit taller, but not at all overweight. Thanks for picking a pup that has met all our expectations. You found a match for our family that is perfect. P.S. Bogart had his first cut just after this picture was taken, took us sometime to find a quality groomer that had experience with Bouviers. Not easy in Manitoba. Neil Cooke, Winnipeg, Manitoba

Chilli - October 5, 2009
	Hi Fran, Thanks for the tip . Just got back from a leash walk and Chilli and I met our first grizzly- it was about 30 metres from us. Chilli warned me about the bear but I didn't pick up the signs- I thought she was pulling on the leash to go to the bathroom- really she was putting herself between me and the threat she knew was there. When the bear stood up and we both saw it, I reached for my bear spray as I was pretty sure we were about to have a problem. Chilli laid down without instruction and watched the bear intently while rumbling in her chest. She obeyed brilliantly- heeled quietly while we backed away. The bear wandered off with no incident, and Chilli guarded our back trail the whole way home- she insisted on sitting and looking back every couple of minutes to check for the threat. And boy was she proud of her work in protecting me- as we returned home her step was very jaunty and she had a happy grin on her face. Couldn't have asked for better behaviour. She is so tuned in to us it is amazing. Cheers Jock

Lacey - September 20, 2009
	Hello Fran &Yves We wanted to send you some pictures of Lacey. She is doing great and my adult son's are jealous because they were never treated as good as our pup is. She is indeed our little princess. Update July/10 Dave and Sue Murray

Happy lst Birthday "Rosie" - September 20, 2009
	Hi Fran! Rosebud has been our shining light since she joined our family just over a year ago. We are spoiling her more than we did our other two dogs, i.e., she has a special place to sleep on the livingroom sofa and she spends weekend mornings snuggling on the bed with us! Rosie graduated with honors from obedience training and has become a wonderful companion. She is very smart, and has a great sense of humor. Every time I take her for a walk, someone always stops us to ask questions about the Bouvier breed and comments on what a beautiful dog she is! Fran and Yves, thank you so much for breeding such an outstanding dog! We cherish every day Rosie is in our lives! Michelle and Patrick

Update on "Cayenne" - July 5, 2009
	Hi Yves and Fran: Hard to believe, but a year has passed since we were out at your place to pick up our puppy. Cayenne has grown into a fabulous dog. She is intelligent, healthy, beautiful, has tons of attitude, a wonderful temperement and let's not forget that wee bit of naughty just to keep us entertained. She compliments our family perfectly and has brought great joy into our lives. Thanks for the great breeding program you run and all the follow up and support. We appreciate the way you've always been available to answer our questions and help with any little things that have cropped up. It's a friendship we cherish. December 09 update April 2010 update Today is Cayenne's 2nd birthday and she is an absolutely splendid bitch. Her personality, temperament and attitude are to die for. She weighs approx. 80lbs and measures about 26" at the whithers (if I'm measuring correctly). She's probably a bit on the lean side (I'm hoping she puts on a little bit more weight as she continues filling out), but eats well and when she's had enough she won't eat anymore unless of course we'd offer her extra meat or treats. She definitely eats like a dog and her picky poor eating puppy days are now a thing of long ago. She trains really easily and it doesn't take long to learn new things. She certainly draws a lot of compliments on walks or when we take her hiking. Sylvia & Gilles

Update on "Khan" - July 5, 2009
	Hi Fran and Yves: I thought I would send you some new pictures of "Khan" now that he has turned a year old. The time has sure gone fast, I still remember bringing him home as a little bundle on my lap. He has been an absolute joy to us. Has has been such an easy puppy to train and is so social with people and other animals. He is a very affectionate boy who can also be quite the clown at times. We just want to thank you again for our very special boy. Luanna and James

Update from Glenna Stiles - March 18, 2009
	Hello Yves and Fran - Indio is a very handsome young man - dog. He has a perfect temperaent and loves being a member of our family and pack. He has settled in so well with the other dogs without a moments hesitation and plays all day with our little Silky and explores with our other Bouvier Sasha. It has given her a fresh look on life and really helped her become more playful as she advances in her years. His obedience training has come along very nicely although he still can be a bit mouthy with younger children which we are working on. He has boundless energy and enthusiasm and his greatest joy these days is finding the mice under the snowpack and presenting them proudly to us, leaping through the drifts and running happily on walks. He is now the alpha dog in our pack of 4 and the terrier cross "Lucky" has given up his position. His is very smart and everyone loves him and his unique colouring. Thanks so much for giving us the opportunity to have one of your beautiful puppies - we are even stopped on the road and in town when we walk him to be asked the name of the Breeder. I will keep in touch - thanks again. Glenna

Lanvern's I'm a fully loaded Jag - March 3, 2009
	Hi Fran and Yves My how time has gone by, its Jag's birthday and wanted to share an updated picture - yesterday he sure earned his keep. Dennis did chores and came back and Jag was jumping like a Kangaroo biting at Dennis, not letting him in the house. This was unusual behaviour - Then Jag took Dennis by the arm and literally dragged him back to the barn. I told Dennis to go and see as Jag was serious and not in bad behaviour. SURPRISE, we had a calf born in the bush that was frozen or close to it!! We parked the truck in between and grabbed the calf and took it into the heated barn, it would have died otherwise but thanks to Jag again, I have a wonderful surprise calf that is healthy. It was a mystery as I never had a Bull here til the end of June making the due date March 20th NOT Feb 26th!!!! I am so grateful that you have entrusted me with a wonderful boy that has exceeded my expectations more than once. Cassandra
