Fun Match in Santa Fe
Here are some new photos photos from a fun match in Santa Fe on July 13, 2008 and some new photos of our dogs (scroll down)!
2nd Annual Southwest Fun Match was held in Santa Fe on July 13, 2008. (To see the full version of the above photo, click on it.)
Fifteen Lagotti, their owners, and friends had a great time with a mock dog show. Vando and I are, of course, on the right.

Games and Playtime for the Dogs
Vando declares, “No room for me in there!”
Adrina takes her turn cooling off.

Adrina and Vando won the prizes for bringing back a ball.
And there was lots of good food. The first match was held in Arizona in 2007. The event was co-sponsored by the Santa Fe owners and Lagotto Club of America.

Cute photo of my cute boy, Vando.
These dogs have such wonderful temperaments and get along in a group very well. They need lots of exercise but they are very pleasant in a pack.

At home, Merlino keeping watch over Vando on the porch.
Adrina loves to chase sticks so much that we have to tell her to go take a rest.

I have spent a little time teaching Adrina to hunt for truffles in the Arizona dessert. We made a truffle by putting some dry rice in the toe of a sock wrapped in a little mesh bag.
I put truffle infused oil on the sock. Adrina is able to find it buried in the soil. She has a great nose and loves this “game”.
