We will be showing and lure coursing in the MD, NJ, PA, and VA areas over the next 6 months.

.... taking the Lure Coursing field!

Ah, the sun is in my eyes.

It may not look like it, but I am on duty!

This is my post.

I watch ...

all sides of the property!

Ellie is second only to MBIF FC Kushinda's Archive Angle, JC, SC, FCh, LCM - "Gwen" when it comes to taking the field. Ellie was born 6/6/93 and is the daughter of Kushinda's Rahisi TikTok Jasri, CD, JC, SC, FCh, CGC/TDI - "TikTok"and ptd. Kushinda's Crowd Pleaser, JC, SC, TDI - "Peaz."

Ellie is an alpha bitch and we prefer a home with adults and a fenced in yard. Ellie-Mae is spayed. And she loves being outside! Her favorite pasttime is lying in the sun! Currently, she and Yuppie have the entore roam of the property during the day. They both love the outdoors and sleeping in the sun!

At this time, we would really like to see Ellie-Mae and Yuppie (sister and brother) go to a "retirement" home togther. Some place where they can continue getting three square meals a day, have outside roam of the property (MUST be fenced in) to guard during the days when Mom and Dad are not home, and plenty of couch space during the evenings for resting in preparation of the next day's guard duty. Oh, lots of pat pats and hugs requred too! Both dogs are very low maintenance and fit the "yuppie" lifestyle to a Tee!

.... where's the bunny!

.... Ooow Ooow I see him now!

I watch things from down here on the ground.

Yuppie is Kushinda's most recent AKC Field Champion, finishing under AKC Judge Carmen Day Labor Day Weekend, 1998!

Yuppie is third only to his sisters: MBIF FC Kushinda's Archive Angle, JC, SC, FCh, LCM - "Gwen" & FC Kushinda's Deep Elm Blues, JC, SC, FCh when it comes to taking the field. He is the third littermate in this breeding to finish their AKC Field Championship! Yuppie was born 6/6/93 and is the son of Kushinda's Rahisi TikTok Jasri, CD, JC, SC, FCh, CGC/TDI - "TikTok"and ptd. Kushinda's Crowd Pleaser, JC, SC, TDI - "Peaz." This brings TikTok's number of AKC Field Champions sired to 5, and ASAF Field Champions to 5, for a grand total of 10!

It was not until Yuppie turned 4 that he and his father TikTok parted ways! As a sub-alpha dog he always maintained a healthy respect for the "ol'e man," yet as age and maturity gained possesion of him, striking out on his own was only natural.

Yuppie is a very heavy boned dog with extra muscle to carry himself in a competative spirit to earn his Field Championship. It took us nearly 2 1/2 years of strict conditioning to obtain the muscle and stamnia Yuppie needed to carry himself across the field.

Yet, in therapy you could not ask for a sweeter dog!

We prefer a home with adults and a fenced in yard. Yuppie has been neutered. And he loves being outside! His favorite pasttime is also lying in the sun! He and Ellie-Mae spend 10-14 hours a day outside guarding the premises (or sleeping!).

At this time, we would really like to see Yuppie and Elli-Mae (brother and sister) go to a "retirement" home togther. Some place where they can continue getting three square meals a day, have outside roam of the property (MUST be fenced in) to guard during the days when Mom and Dad are not home, and plenty of couch space during the evenings for resting in preparation of the next day's guard duty. Oh, lots of pat pats and hugs requred too! Both dogs are very low maintenance and fit the "yuppie" lifestyle to a Tee!
