June 2016:
Really behind on my updates. Ticker now has 23 champions! Helen Lee's boy Eli became Ch Wistwin Morningstar Allied Hearts yesterday, all owner handled. And Ch Solange Suggestive finished her championship earlier this year, to be #22.
Wistwin Violet Hill has been doing wonderful winning this spring, and as of yesterday she has 11 points both majors.
Ch Wistwin Lucky In Love's first litter, out of our Somerhaven Picture Perfect, was a hit with 7 beautiful puppies. 2 are in show homes, 2 staying here, 1 in agility home, and 1 in performance/possible show home depending on size. Thrilling litter...my two are Wistwin Face First (Mackenzie) and Wistwin Mad About Saffron.
 
Mackenzie Saffron
There have been a lot of great agility achievements in the Wistwin dog family, and I will need to get caught up on posting those very soon!
April 2016:
It is with heavy heart that I announced that Ticker passed away at the age of 11 1/2 years old. He was a once in a lifetime dog, whose beauty and spirit made him known across the USA and even into other countries. There will never be another quite like him...but some comfort comes to me in seeing his beautiful descendents who resemble him and have his irrepressible joy for life.
February 6, 2016:
Happy that Wistwin Cerise has her pretty litter of 6 (3 m, 3 f) by Ch Wistwin Just Whistle. One boy is my favorite at birth..beautiful head and expression.
January 2016:
Thrilled to report that two more Ticker kids finished this month- Ch Caprock's Dispensing Sweetness and Ch Caprock's Sugar Daddy. That makes 21 champions for Ticker!
November 2015:
I am really behind on updating my website! It has been a nice year...Ticker has 4 new champions this year: Ch Shalamar Wistwin Scrumptious, Ch Wistwin Lucky In Love, Ch Solange Shalamar Innovation, and Ch Ireland's Heart of Paradise. My two girls from GCh Wistwin Tickertape ROM began their show careers this year, and both have three points so far. Lucky and Demi both placed in their class at the National in April, and my little Ticker daughter Wistwin Another Lil Piece O My Heart (Jannie) won the ASSA Futurity 6-9 Puppy Bitch class.
On a sadder note, Ch Wistwin-Primo Arctic passed away here at the age of almost 13. He was a real classic, and the very sweetest of fellows.
