In talking with Kate in the month since the Nationals, she has decided to focus more on her blue puppies and therefore, the pretty Miss June will not be going back. I guess we can’t convert everyone over to poop-colored dog love. 
This is a mutual decision on the part of Kate and I, and is no knock on Kate OR June. There’s nothing wrong with either of them, but sometimes things don’t work out how you plan.
No, I’m not keeping her, although she can stay here as long as she needs to. I’d love to find another show home who would like to finish her and potentially use her in a breeding program…I think she’s beautiful and sound, and would make a nice addition. But if that doesn’t happen, I will keep her here long enough to finish her and then find a forever pet home for her.
June is sweet, loving, mellow, and happy. She’s not a “superstar” in the show ring, she takes after her mother too much there, but she has been consistent for me even if she’s not super showy. At home she romps with Nash a LOT, but is equally happy to flop on the couch and pant in my face for a while. She plays with everyone, actually, dogs and kidlets alike. She can be a bit pushy physically sometimes with Nash only (because he doesn’t care), but is quick to give me a sheepish wag when I tell her to knock it off. She can be a bit food possessive but not overly so. She’s not barky, and she doesn’t mind being crated (although she will avoid me if she knows she’s going to be LOL). In the past she has sometimes been wary of men but I haven’t seen much of that since she’s been with me…she loves Dave and has been sweet when meeting strangers. I feel that June needs someone she can bond with…she’s a better dog here than she was at Kate’s, honestly, and I think it’s because our personalities mesh better than she and Kate did. She’s not overly biddable…I wouldn’t place her with someone who really wanted to do performance, because she’s not very driven to learn new things.
So if you’re interested in Junie B, drop me a line at jerilamy@gmail.com. Hopefully we can find the perfect place for this sweet girl. 
June at 11 months

I wish I didn’t have a dog limit because I thinks she’s a wonderful girl — I’ll keep my ears open!

I love poop colored dogs. And oh, the brindle girls….awww, had my heart broke over one once. Best wishes to Junie.

I heart June. I’m not biased at all.

I miss having a brown dog grace my home and wish I had the room to take June. *sigh* she is not the kind of anniversary present my husband is looking for.

Sadly she’s not the disposition I want, or one that would likely fit in my household it sounds like. I’m waiting for the right show dog to come along
Good luck! Someone is going to REALLY score with her. She’s already off to an awesome start in her show career, and I’m betting will produce really well!

Dang, I wish I wasn’t full I’d take her in a heartbeat (plus you did the work putting the majors on her) you know I love her momma and I like the poop colored dogs best of all. Very tempting, Very!

I do not think you will have any trouble locating a wonderful home for miss June. Shes such a beautiful girl, what a golden opportunity for someone. I know we consider ourselves extremely fortunate to have been able to adopt Lucy, who is a fantastic addition to our famly.
