Meet Yasper, who lives in Belgium, where he's just starting a promising career as a show dog. His owners are Ann and Ivo DeKock, who don't live too far from Antwerp.  He is shown here with his best friend, "Mr. Pluto," who apparently thinks that Yasper is his bed.

Berit sent me this from Denmark. When I showed it to The Trolls, Geordie screamed, "I'm going to Denmark!"  Maggie started making gagging noises and left the room.

In 1999, Wolfie was voted Most Popular Girl by all the boys in her obedience class.  She's a "Flat-Coated Retriever" owned by Lisa Kane, who is also Wolfie's social secretary.  Definitely on Geordie's Hot List and especially so in the bunny outfit...

Ch. Sassy Little Miss Delight lives in Rockland County, NY. Sassy is one of Maggie and Geordie's East Coast extended family--she's their aunt. Her owner, Harriette Goldmeer reports that she enjoys talking and arguing.  A career in law perhaps?

Ch. Glenmore Valkyrie. Now that she's done wowing them in the show ring, Valerie likes to hang out at the homestead (patrolling for vermin perhaps?). She also lives with Bob and Louise Hooper (but not in the barn where she poses in this picture).

Fox Valley Tag, I'm It-- is Bob and Louise Hooper's new Jack Russell terrier puppy girl. Tag is as "talented and gifted" as her name implies.

Brittany, a Welsh terrier owned by Cheri Klimpel and Kelsey, (same Kelsey as above as a puppy) wait for their next set of instructions before deciding whether or not to follow them.
