Ayce update (pics)

Don,

Thought I would send along some pics of Ayce. He will be eight months on the 24th I guess (time flies!). He has grown well and he loves all the room on the farm to run and explore. Kids, parents and everyone who stops by adore him and whenever we are out with him we hear lots of compliments on what a good looking dog. He has been a great pup and a fantastic addition to the family. Hope you are well and stop in next time you are up in our area of Nova Scotia. Take care!

Charlottetown Shows

Hello Don,

Ch. Doindogs Chelsea Marie competed on Saturday Oct. 31 in the Royal Canine sponsored Atlantic Top Dog Awards show. She was entered in the Sporting Group with 14 other Champions. In order to be eligible to be invited to compete in this show a dog is required over the preceding 12 months to have won Best Puppy in its Group. Chelsea did that three times. although one of the youngest to compete, Chelsea finished 4th overall in the Sporting Group and was the top female in the Sporting Group.

On Sunday Chelsea competed in the Lab Specials class at the Island Dog Club Show in Charlottetown against 10 other Champions as well as the all the other Lab winners of the day at the show and won Best Opposite (Top Female).

It was a successful weekend for Doindogs and Don Bates!

HI Don,

My name is Annie and I bought a pup from you in January 2005 - a yellow male from Roo's second litter with Jett. I live in Vancouver now, bu will be in the Maritime in April or May of 2010 for several weeks before heading back to BC. I'm thinking about getting another pup at that time - do you know if you'll have any ready to go home around then?

I've attached a picture of Doindogs Take Me Home Revelstoke ("Stoke"). He's wonderful!

Cheers,
Annie
