Nacho's Big Birthday Weekend at the Dog Show

This weekend Nacho drove down to the 5 day cluster in Maryland with his friends Kevin and Heather. Three of the five days Nacho won Select Dog, and on Friday and Saturday, as a belated birthday gift to himself, he won back to back Best of Breed wins and a very nice Group 3 placement on Friday. What a nice way to finish the weekend after taking the month off to chill at home with mom.

And for his 2 year birthday on Thursday, Kevin and Heather threw Nacho a nice birthday party with a cake I supplied, and cupcakes for his friends. They got him a hat, sang the birthday song and got him gifts. He sure is one spoiled SPECIAL that is GREATLY LOVED by ALL! Happy Birthday my sweet boy, Congrats on your wins, and Good Luck at your upcoming shows!!!! I will see you soon <3

Nacho is a proven stud!

On November 2, 2010, Nacho and the beautiful Dyna, "Bullmax FXD Full Chrome" (pictured above) blessed the world with ELEVEN beautiful, chunky babies! This litter was bred by Nicole Miron of Bullmax Bullmastiffs, in Canada.

Here is Dyna at the beginning of her journey into pregnancy.

Getting bigger....

And looking more and more beautiful.

It's ALMOST time!!!

Waiting.....and waiting...

Boy were we surprised when Dyna ended up having 11 babies after the ultrasound showed 5!

Nacho and Dyna did good :)

We are very proud and excited to see what the future holds for this litter.

Nacho and His Buddy Ezra

Since arriving back home after the National Specialty...Nacho's "company" has definitely been enjoyed by all...well, almost all.

Nacho has been good buddies with our cat, Ezra since puppyhood...or so he thinks. But Nacho usually gets a little too close for comfort, Ezra thinks. Now at almost 2 years, Nacho continues on waiting... and waiting, for them to be friends.

Here is a little video I pieced together with footage taken over a span of three weeks. Please make sure your speakers are turned up :)

Nacho at the National

I had such high expectations for my first ABA National ever. However, it ended up being one of the absolute worst weeks of my life. But, when one door closes God opens another one. A better one. And I've taken my horrible experiences from that week and embraced them as learning experiences. Above is his crate name tag made by the very talented photographer, Joanne Pearsall of Lucky Dog photography, and below is one of the photos that she took of Nacho and his Mama. One of the very few highlights of my week.

Another highlight was Nacho's very exciting Award of Merit win under Judge Billy Brittle.

Some other win shots to share...

This Nacho is on FIRE!!!

Nacho does it again! He sweeps the 4 day cluster in PA last weekend and polishes the weekend off with a Group 4 under Judge Dana Cline!
