Introducing "Brodie" - AKC/UKC Ch. Crystal Creek's Irish Creme

Never say never... Just when you think you have cleared the dog show bug out of your system (after all, it started over forty years ago, I ought to be over it by now, right?) along comes a gorgeous puppy. Brodie is now 11 months old, and has brought so much happiness and laughter into the Schlaginhaufen home! Thank you to his breeder and co-owner, Bonnie Winings of Crystal Creek, for sharing him with us and encouraging us to go ahead and show him as a puppy; thank you to Jennifer Anders, Kelly Knight, Amy Corbitt and Payton Burns who helped us in UKC (he finished his UKC championship the first weekend out, and went on to take 3 legs towards his grand championship before we pulled him to show him AKC); and thank you to Kelly Knight and Ann Rairigh, who finished his AKC championship for us in just a handful of shows. He is now busy learning basic obedience, in hopes of doing some performance events down the road. More photos coming soon.
