4th Annual cnSand PWD Reunion!


CnSand Portuguese Water Dog Families!


I am hosting the forth annual CnSandPWD Family Reunion in Newtown, CT at the new home of Richard and Ann Garber.  The Garber's have graciously volunteered the use of their property for the event.  While the Newtown house may not have quite the expanse of grass as the farm in Pawling had....this beautiful place has a completely fenced in yard.  Plenty of room for humans to relax and dogs to run about.  

Date: Saturday, August 3rd at 1pm.  (raindate August 4th)
RSVP:  By July 29th.  Please call or Email Kris if you plan to attend.  (860)633-8045    CnSandPWD@aol.com
I will give you a complete address once you RSVP

What to bring:  We ask that everyone attending bring some sort of snack, salad, chips, desert, from the list below (some items will allow more than one to bring it).  The first to RSVP and say they are bringing it gets to...thus those after will be requested to bring something else.   We had ALOT of food left over last year...so please feel free to bring smaller portions.

Richard and Anne will supply Hamburgers, Hotdogs and rolls.  If you would like a Turkey or veggie burger or other grill food...please feel free to bring it and we will get it cooked.  

I will supply paper products and plastic wear.

Drinks (please bring either two 2 liter bottles or two 12 packs individual cans)
Coke/Pepsi
Diet Coke/Diet Pepsi

A favorite Snack food (chex mix or something like that)

Veggie Platter

Other Dessert Food (Please specify)



For the dog:  Please make sure that all dogs are fully up to date on shots, have not been ill, and are friendly around other dogs.   Please do not bring any females that may be in season.   Intact adult males are allowed but PLEASE monitor them fully......intact males (over the age of one year) will NOT be allowed to play with each other.   Please keep your dog leashed and with you.  Kris will organize and arrange play opportunities based upon how well dogs get along.  This will not be a free for all dog park!  We will have dogs of varying ages thus we must try and make this a positive and FUN experience for everyone!

I look forward to seeing everyone!!!!   Cancelations and updates will be on my blog:  www.cnsandpwd.blogspot.com

Bad news....

During Tushie's Ultrasound on March 4 Dr Duffy proclaimed her pregnant, but felt that the puppies looked very small for the gestational age.   He wanted to repeat the Utrasound today (3/13).    Sadly, he proclaimed Tushie Not pregnant, or no longer pregnant (resorbed the litter).    Anne, Richard, and I are devastated.    This was an exciting breeding...one that held much promise.  If you are interested in a puppy related to the CnSand crew please visit Dr. Cindy O'Connor's website at: www.Queridapwds.com

She has two litters that are a couple weeks old.   One is sired by Bronze GCh. CnSand Ardanwood Whitewash the Fence 4 Me  (Sawyer).  Dr O'Connor is a well respected Veterinarian and former board member of the PWDCA.  She resides in Plymouth, Mass.

The Next CnSand Litter will probably be in the fall.

Tushie's Pregnancy is CONFIRMED!!!

Anne, Tushie, and I went to Norwalk Veterinary hospital yesterday where Dr Charles Duffy confirmed her pregnancy!  Numbers are not an exact science with dogs and ultrasounds...though he saw at least 4.  Pups due around April 3!  

Tiara and I return to the show ring.

This is Tiara and I at the CT Working Group Show on March 2nd.   This was my first time back in the ring in over 3 years.   While I am still generally on a Cane for most of the day.....I worked with my PT to try and get back in the ring.   I only showed Tiara and I must say I paid for it the next two or three days....it was worth it.  Photo by Chris Harris.
