Crown Royale Professional Products
These shampoos and conditioners are fantastic! They smell wonderful. Definately something I would use on Mya!
Wow, what a day!
Every thing ran smoothly, and each year, I learn a new lesson. I still have to many things packed into one day. The Penny Sale did well, the Auction did extremely well, but the Laundry Line didn't do as well as last year. I wonder why? Maybe the products in there weren't as appealing as last year?
I always love the wiener race! That's the highlight of my day. And to see the last dog Hector (who wasn't a giant but a little bulldog maybe) lift his leg and show that bucket what he thought of the race, well that was just too funny!
We only had one person participate in the Stupid Pet Trick, so her Giant won the prizes for 1st, 2nd and 3rd. Congratulations Louie!
The BBQ was just great! Thanks to Loraine and her family. They did an amazing job. If I had to do the BBQ, I think I would have a panic attack!! lol That's one thing I don't think I could organize.
Derrick did a grooming demonstration and used his dog Eve, more commonly known as "Evil"! She was very good and Derrick did a great job describing what blades to use and how to use them. I enjoyed that very much.
I couldn't have done this without Tracy, Kevin and Kasia! They are the ones who make this day run smoothly. Always willing to do anything that needs to be done. I really do appreciate that!
I'll update the blog some more, with pictures and commentary shortly!
Thanks

Mya the Model for Chilly Dogs? Maybe not!
Dry Use: Therapy pool use, Home bathing, between Summer Swimming, Home/kennel sleeping attire. The ultimate after bath or after swim solution! Slip the dry Soaker™ onto your wet dog and the absorbent terry cloth will wick away moisture and speed dry off time. For an extra cozy, warm treat, place the dry Soaker™ in the dryer and tumble on low heat until the coat is warm to the touch. After bath, place the warm Soaker™ on your dog; a wonderful way to take the chill off. The Soaker™ has also been a big hit with owners of dogs who love to rub against the furniture and roll on the floor after bath time; now the furniture stays dry and Fido stays clean!
Wet Use: Agility events/training, Confirmation shows, Hunting trials/training, Summer Camping, Summer car rides, Dogs First Aid Kit. Also known as the "cool coat", the Soaker™ is designed to keep your dog's body temperature cool on hot summer days. It can be a life saver during long, hot car rides and outdoor dog shows. To wet the Soaker™ immerse in a basin of water or spray wet with a water bottle. Ring out excess water from the coat and place on your dog. To keep Soaker™ wet during use, spray with water bottle.

KONG
Mya loves her Kong. She can't destroy it and I'm never afraid that she will choke on chunks that may come off (because they don't for her). They are truly wonderful toys!

Chilly Dogs
Chilly Dogs is donating a Soaker Coat for our Grand Slam! I think this will be a popular item at the auction. With Giant Schnauzers being black, they become hot very fast in the summer. Again, something that you will have to outbid me on!!!
Chilly Dogs is also one of the Paws For Charity companies.

Spoil the Dog Bakery
Taken from the website:
At Spoil The Dog Bakery our mission is to make the most nutritious, tastiest, hypoallergenic, wheat-free biscuits on the planet! Each biscuit is handmade using only fresh, all-natural market ingredients. We do not add salt, sugar, corn, soy or any preservatives to our products. After extensive research, we chose chickpea flour as our base not only because it is wheat-free, but because it is high in protein, dietary fibre and calcium, and low in saturated fats.
You know what this means? Now you can spoil your precious companion without worries of unnecessary weight gain.
The most discriminating canine can choose from our Variety Pack, containing five gourmet flavours: Apple Cinnamon (hearts), Carob Peanut Butter (bears), Cheese and Organic Garlic, (suns), Peanut Butter Crunch (crescents), or Pizza Pizzazz (rounds).
We also make large biscuits, for a gigantic burst of any one of our five delicious flavours. Since birthday parties have become more and more popular we carry a wheat-free banana honey cake, topped with carob-sprinkled yogurt frosting and delicious edible carob candles. Looks soooooooo good, you'll want to eat it yourself!

NewTrix
The NewTrix easyway collar is the first in our upcoming series of carefully researched and developed pet training products. We always believed in it, but the response we have had from so many top veterinarians, trainers, breeders, dogs and owners has been overwhelming.
The NewTrix easyway collar is guaranteed to make walking a comfortable experience for you and your dog. It is not a muzzle. It is an evolutionary tool to make dog training and walking a simple, safe and fun experience for everyone.
Why does it work so well? The NewTrix easyway collar harnesses the natural balance reflex of your dog to stop him or her from pulling on the leash. Instead of hooking under the dog’s chin, twisting his neck, our ingenious “push-pulley” exerts a gentle pressure behind the dog’s head. Your dog automatically leans back into the pressure and stops pulling! The collar only restrains your dog when he struggles against it, relaxing when he stops, much as a seatbelt restrains you in your car.
Newtrix donated one collar with a leash for our Grand Slam.
I used this product with Mya for agility class. All dogs had to be on a leash for the beginner group. They did not allow any type of choke collar or pinch collar. The trainer suggested this collar for us. It worked wonderfully! Unlike the Gentle Leader, this does not jerk the head to the side. It worked wonders for us.

Pup Light
If you have a black Giant Schnauzer, then you know it is almost impossible to see them in the dark. Especially if you are out for a walk after the sun goes down, it is hard for you to see where you are going and for cars to see you.

Lights your path when you walk your dog
Helps you find your dog when off-leash
Assists dogs with poor vision
PupLight's patented design features include:
Three ultra-bright LED's - light up to 200 feet and make dogs visible at night

Easy-on adjustable elastic band - assures a proper fit for any size dog.
Let PupLight Light Your Way And Your Dog
Soggy Dog
My husband doesn't let me bring Mya in his car. Mostly because I can only get her so clean or so dry before we have to get in the car to go home.

Seat Surfin' Back Seat Covers
Water repellent and durable
Unique light weight fabric prevents dirt and hair from weaving through cover - hair shakes off
