Puppy number 9 just arrived. She’s struggling a bit, but we’re cautiously optimistic. Cross your fingers, ring your bells, light your candles. Hoping for the best!

We’re not sure if we’re done, but we’re at 8 healthy pups right now, and Mom is doing extremely well. More photos have been added to the puppies new photo album!

We’re now up to 5 puppies! Rosie whelped another wheaten male and a dark female. All doing well. We’re very excited.

Rosie’s puppies, sired by Brogan (CH Steppin’wolf’s Quantum Leap x Ch. Rosaleen Dhu, RN), have started arriving today. So far we have three thriving puppies, a brindle girl, a wheaten male, and a dark brindle male. Look for more updates soon!

Check the photo section to see some pictures of these cuties.

Fun Match:

Four of the puppies from the French litter were entered in their first fun match on Friday June 23. Steppin’wolf puppies in attendance were Rhythm handled by co-owner Amber Holmes, Twister handled by Ashley Emory, VeVe handled by co-owner Destiny Burge, and Harriet handled by co-owner Janie Blackburn. The puppies are now nearing 5 months old and were entered in the 3 – 6 month old classes. All of the puppies moved beautifully and it was a joy to finally see them in a show ring. Rhythm won WD over one male, while VeVe won WB over two females and then BOB over Rhythm. Rhythm and VeVe were also entered in Brace at the last minute for fun where they were handled by Amber Holmes. Everyone was astounded at how wonderfully they gaited around the ring together for which they were rewarded with Best Brace in Match! The overall results, a fun evening was shared by all and we at Steppin’wolf could not be prouder of our puppies.

Conformation Shows:

Steppin’wolf’s Rosaleen Dhu, “Rosie”, now one week away from her first birthday was entered in the Puppy Bitches 6 – 12 months old for the last time. She was awarded 1st in her class both days with no further placement in the regular classes. She did, however, win Best Irish Wolfhound Puppy going on to win a group 3 in the puppy hound group on Saturday when they were also selecting a Best Puppy in Show. Rosie was handled by Donna Yeldell on Saturday and by Destiny Burge on Sunday.

Steppin’wolf’s Rosaleen Dhu, “Rosie” competed in the Puppy Bitches 6 – 12 Month class on Saturday and Sunday. She won 1st place in her class on Saturday and 2nd on Sunday. We are very delighted with how she is coming together and how well behaved she is in the ring. Rosie was handled by Donna Yeldell.

Steppin’wolf’s Must Be A Weasley, “Emmet” co-owned by Jonette Jones and Janie Blackburn came down and had a wonderful weekend. Emmet competed in the Open Dogs class on Saturday where he was awarded 1st place. He then went on to be awarded Winner’s Dog (WD) and Best of Winners (BOW) which gained him a 5-point Major! This was tremendous win and it completed his requirement for his Championship. Emmet was then able to be moved up to Best of Breed competition on Sunday where she showed very nicely. Donna Yeldell showed Emmet on Saturday and Destiny Burge showed Emmet on Sunday. Steppin’wolf is very proud of our new Champion.

Congratulations Ch. Steppin’wolf’s Must Be A Weasley!!
