New web site


It is absolutely amazing how fast this new web site is coming together.I knew that my former person I hired was just a horrible business person. He should look for a new line of work.If he was too busy then he should have not taken on a new site when he did not have the time to dedicate to produce it.
More on a positive note... I am having a great time learning this stuff. And the new picture software is so easy , it is mind blowing.Now I can easily correct all the dark photos I have shot and now use those instead of throwing them away.

New web site

Hi All ,
my new web site is finally coming together. What an adventure! After the split with my former associate, I decide it was time for a name change, as we had been using their Kennel prefix, which was similar to my given proper name. When I started in the Russian Toys I was calling them "Scarlett's" but now I feel that my own proper given name must be abandoned in reference to my effort with the Russian Toys. I do not want any confusion over what I have achieved with the breed.

So I have a new slogan... "A New Name , A new Year, A New Beginning...." A new beginning because my kennel is young again.
Although truthfully the name Highfield , now my kennel prefix for my Russian Toys , is not new to me. It is my former, maiden name, and the kennel prefix used by my mother and myself for over the past 40 years.

I imported some new dogs and retired some older dogs. As you can see in an earlier post the quality of pups I am producing, and I am so thankful for the relationships I have developed with all the new breeders who have allowed me to have these outstanding dogs!

I hired a new web master to design me a new web site last year in July, he had to be the worst work ethical person ever ! Have you ever paid some one and had to beg continuously to work on your site ? It was awful! And that is putting it mildly.Well I finally have had enough. Now, I chose a reputable company, they are teaching me how to do it myself and they do all the marketing, how great is that ?

Please stop by often as it is a work in progress. www.russkiytoys.com/

New Champion Ruble


Coming back from a long weekend of shows in Perry, Georgia.The Middle Georgia Kennel club hosted a cluster of 6 shows this past weekend.Where I attended and presented three of my Russkiy Toys. My boy Ruble became a new UKC champion.I also showed my girls, Allie and Tatiana too.All sharing the spotlight at times. Allie was the youngest at 6 months, who stole the honors of Best of breed twice, Tatiana was Best of Breed once and Ruble was Best of Breed three times.
Ruble stole the show and brought many a smile and lots of cheers from the crowd.He preformed many antics and showed everyone exactly how quick and agile this breed could be. He never missed a hairball rolling across the floor nor any spot that looked out of the ordinary. He proceeded
to show all the spectators how one tiny little dog could be gliding around the ring, change directions and pounce on a moments notice. Then scratch off, in a gesture of ownership of the ground that he proudly declared as his. What a fun boy he is.

Little baby Alyonushka, Allie for short, showed her big brother that girls just don't always want to have fun .She maybe young but she can still beat the pants of of him. She stole the show from him twice by beating him for the Best of breed spot.And she was just 6 months old!
