This is the promotional photo from their website, www.petprints.com with beautiful DJ, the Cover Boy!

This year's 2008 Pet Prints Calendar has once again featurerd a Shoebutton Norwich in the month of May! This time it was CH Shoebutton's Beau Burnside, CGC, OA, AJ  (Sam). He has a full standing shot and looks beautiful! His coat has remained a jet black for his six years of life! 

Sam was my first Bred-By AKC Champion! He is now my friend and companion in agility. We practice every week to keep him fit for Blair to run in agility trials (Blair can run fast and keep up with Sam better). See his picture at the bottom of the page!

My DJ, Moonshadow's Dancin' In The Dark, was featured on the 2007 cover of www.petprints.com   Norwich/Norfolk Calendar! We are still  enjoying this this calander as I write!

DJ is now 9 years old and was bred by Barb Passina in upstate New York at her Moonshadow Kennel . DJ was also featured in a the month of Febuary with a beautiful head portrait. 

To further our excitment in the  2007, two additional photos were chosen of my dogs for other monthy photos. One is the photo on the first page of this website with four Shoebuttons sitting on the bench. 

The other monthy picture is of CH. Moonshadow's Odin O'Bear dancing on his hind legs as a puppy. I co-own him with Michaela Clancy and helped show him to his Championship last year. He was also bred by Barb Passina. 

Needless to say, this is something that was totally unexpected (one never knows which stock photos the publishers will choose at any given time) and we at Shoebutton kennels are very grateful. It seems the Shoebutton ' magic' has shown, once again, how it consistently manifests in strange ways! Each dog seems to carry the magical aura.....in their own way!

Upcoming local events in  any area where you may spot a Shoebutton Norwich or another Norwich performing may be found at www.infodog.com . Hit 'show calendar' and browse for events in your proximity. Generally, I stay within a 100 mile radius of Baltimore. There are plenty of shows and agility trials to keep the Shoebuttons busy in this area. 

Calendars can be ordered from PetPrints at their website, www.petprints.com. All Shoebutton 'calendar' photos were taken by Close Encounters of the Furry Kind. Thank you Jeanie!
