January Update

Happy New Year from Sanmann Kennels!


It’s hard to believe that the holidays are behind us! Christmas and New Years were busy here at Sanmann. Abby, Polly and Bella watched patiently as their puppies set off to their new homes. Perhaps they were a bit relieved, but we are sure that they will miss their broods. All the puppies have settled into their new routines and are looking forward to playing in the snow and sleeping by the fireplaces in their forever homes. Spring will come soon enough!

Speaking of warmer days, as you plan vacations and holidays away, please contact us early to make reservations. The holiday weekends are already starting to fill up, believe it or not! And remember that we now require your dog to have the canine influenza vaccine before visiting Camp Sanmann. Please contact your veterinarian for more information about the vaccine.

After a sort break during the coldest winter months, Obedience Classes with Frank Nelson will resume on Tuesday, March 2nd. The Beginners Class runs for eight weeks from 7-8 pm. The fee is $95. An application can be downloaded right from our website. Frank makes obedience fun for both dog and handler- a perfect cure for cabin fever! Sue’s Show handling Class is ongoing at 7:15pm on Thursday evenings. Come out and get your puppy ready for the spring shows – and find out if any or your classmates are going to Westminster!

A special welcome to a new member of our Grooming Team, Sara Garthly. Sara shows her Kerry Blue Terrier and Rottweiler in both conformation and obedience. She is experienced in grooming all breeds. How about a “make over” to start 2010? Call for an appointment.

What are the Sanmann Goldens, Frenchies and Norwich up to? They are getting in shape for the Spring Shows. Look for Shawn and Sky in the Frenchie ring starting with Boardwalk Kennel Club on February 7th. Goldens Austin and Addie will be out and about too along with little sister Henny, making her debut in the puppy class. Floppy, aka Norwich Terrier, Sanmann’s Super Nova, RN is determined to get his CD this summer! Don’t forget rally! We’ll be in the rally rings too. When the Show Schedule is firmed up, we will post it on the Blog, so that you can stop by and meet the dogs- and us too!

Think Spring!
