The Fancier is out!

by Amy D on August 26, 2009

Which means I can now share with all of you the ad of our Greta that Marian McShane of Marianette Saint Bernards so gratefully did for us!  This is so very exciting for Matt and I because never in our wildest dreams could we have thought this up.  It’s kind of a surreal moment for us because the Saint Bernard Club of America’s quarterly publication, The Saint Fancier,  is very prestigious to us Saint Bernard people!  Not to mention a little out of our budget (which happens to be a big goose egg for advertising)!  I was tickled pink when Marian asked me to get a picture of Greta for her for an advertisement.  I was thinking how great this was for Greta, for us, for her and for me since I do like taking pictures with my Canon.  I even got a crash course in Photoshop with changing the DPI for print.  Who knew?  Well, I do now!  But the biggest surprise of them all was getting the “proofs” of the ads.  SHE GAVE GRETA  A WHOLE PAGE AD!  All of it, the entire 8.5 x 11 inches in pure glossy color!!!!  We weren’t expecting that AT ALL.  We were expecting a little inset picture of her.  So we thank Marian from the bottom of our hearts for her generosity in doing this!  She will ultimately benefit from it, too, with stud services for Duncan.  He and Polly produced a spectacular litter so far. 

The picture of Greta was taken my yours truly in our backyard.  The advertisement design was done by Jim Davis.  His website addy is www.jimdavis.org.  He did a wonderful job designing it.  Some of the ads are just too “busy” for me.  He is also very easy to work with.  He answered my emails promptly and was very informative.  He also designs websites.  Hmmm…..

So here is our Greta girl in all her glory!

Look for her in Oregon at the National in October and in Romulus, NY at the Wine Country Circuit in September where she will be making her debut!  Thank you Marian!!!!!
