And as a new year begins.. the puppies by Ch Wistwin Just Whistle ex Wistwin Gwenivere are turning out very pretty.   Doug and Pam Parry (Paramount) now own a boy, and so does Sheri Blake (Windy Creek), while the girl is staying here and is named Wistwin Candy Or Else (sticking with the Halloween theme.)

Am also really happy with the first litter of Wistwin Shalamar Sunstone, out of my Brianna daughter Wistwin Dominica.  There are three that look like show hopefuls at eight weeks.   Here's a photo of the pick boy and girl:

Also, congratulations to Janet Eggenberger of Clinton, Illinois, who is now the proud owner of Ch Wistwin Answer Man.  Watch for Rex at the shows with Janet's daughter Allison.
