Lorain's Streetwalker.  Fondly called the "little red dog", she was the favorite of all who met her.  Born June 9, 2000, she was just 10 days shy of 15, and her loss just six months after Tuffy made 2015 a very sad year.


January 11, 2015, We say goodbye to Tuffy, Ch. Lorain's Street Performance, sire of Ch. Lorain's Streetwalker by Lorain's Phantom Maneuvers who was born just seven days  before Phoebe.   Tuffy was 14 1/2.  Tuffy lived most of his years with Dione Houchins until her untimely death from cancer.

Kobe has been trained to perfection by his owner, Charlyn Davis and expertly handled to this win by Sheila Monks. 

1/3/2014 In a great kickoff to the New Year,  much to my surprise and utter delight and totally unexpectedly, Sarah, Ch. Lorain's The Drama Queen was awarded BOB by Judge Harry Smith, to complete her Gr. Championship. This was Sarah's 7th major on her quest for that one elusive win over another Champion.  As usual she decided to keep "the drama" going and do it in grand style. She now is almost 1/2 way to her bronze GrCh.  While girls, Diva and Coral won their classes, they lost WB to Ch, Lorain's Luck of the Draw "Chance" daughter, Gopher Hollow Royale Flush "Breeze" who added two more points to her total, bringing her up to 4.  Photo by Dean Von Pusch,  taken approx 2 1/2 yrs ago in the best coat she ever had.

12/3/13  It is with great sadness that we learn of the sudden unexpected passing on 11/29,of Pam Roberts , from a massive heart attack.  Pam was ,the beloved owner of  the multi-titled Lorain's The Big Red One. These two were a formidable pair in the performance arena well into Christopher's advanced years.  A truly gentle soul, with never a bad word about anybody, I cherish the small part played in the life of Pam Roberts and the joy she shared through the love and bond of a dog.  May she and Christopher now be rejoined in eternal life together.

11/4/13 All Ali's pups, except for one girl, are spoken for and most have gone to their new homes. First reports are that they are making mom  Ali and dad  Chance proud, sleeping through the nite, no crate accidents and taking to their new families like ducks to water. 

11/3/13 Lorain's Jet Stream (Ch. Lorain's Luck of the Draw x Raymar Skyrocket) was WD and BW in Knoxville, TN for two points giving him a total of 5 points. He was shown to this win by handler Jessica Starbuck. Not bad for a dog who wont be three for another month.

10/1/13 Ali's pups are 4 weeks old today.  This busy group of 7 is wearing mom Ali out. They are eating baby cearal and milk and are pretty steady on their feet, but need another week or two to really get their mojo going.
