Gaby, who will be 2 years old in October, will now work on getting her genetic clearances in preparation for breeding and producing some very lovely babies.
Our little “GABY” RUSHWIND GIRL ON THE GO went with her wonderful Handler, Jacqueline Johnson to the Madison, WI shows. They were on a mission, and, oh boy, did they deliver!

This last year has brought us a couple challenges, so seems like our breeding program was on hold.
We’re looking forward to having some puppies again, as we still have 2 young breeding females. As we age, we are reminded of how much work is involved….BUT, how much joy this hobby brings to us!
Attached are the Christmas pictures we took a few weeks ago.

CH MEADOWLAKE MARDI GRAS X CH MEADOWLAKE DEVIL’S BREW
Becky – Mardi – Banks at 6 months old – Dan
We loved and cherished this guy for 16 years. On June 5th, 2023 he left us with broken hearts.
Banks was loved by all that came to our house. Quiet, kind, and always courteous.
He told us early on that he did not want to be a show dog. He would just melt when we would enter any arena. So we did some Earthdog events instead. He was the
Greeter of our household and a precious presence where ever he was. He is missed so much.
