Santa Buddies

Well...... another rage to expect:

In November Disney will release the DVD "Santa Puppies" with talking Great Pyrenees and Golden Retriever [I think]

There are already advertisers announcing increasing pricing on puppies to convince people to buy now for less money.

Puppies born!

p style="text-align: left;">


I cannot understand where the last 12 months have gone!? Already a year since Norman was born? Mhm.
Today Cubilon's P-litter were born! Lucky was so big, that most people guessed 10-12 pups. I said 8... We were all caught there! 7 puppies, 5 males and 2 females, that's it.

Notes

working on GPC Marketplace

I am trying to add a marketplace for GPC Community. Have patience as I tinker around with this. I hope each of you can have items you want to sell to others with similar interests available here on GPC soon i.e. well before Christmas. Problem is no one has an exact widget that lets each person have their own store if they want, but can use a central checkout already set up for their use. I am seeing now if Cartfly can be used like this or even close.

French National in Argeles-Gazost

The French National in a few weeks looks so very good this year. Great judges that should be very attractive. I wonder if the foreign entry (non-French) might be a record this year. I have received many emails already about many of you going and taking dogs.

Let us know here in the notes area who is going with what dogs and bitches so we can cheer for you. I think the dogs and bitches I have seen here on GPC are very good and will be a real factor maybe in this years show.

We see our dogs in places I had no idea about and they are such beautiful dogs with such special people, its wonderful. I think Monsieur Senac-Lagrange would
