I love weekends!

The weather was lovely here in Minnesota this weekend. The girls and I went and played at the UKC show a bit. We had a fun time, the girls got to practice being show dogs and I got to spend 2 days playing with my girls. The company at the shows was terrific, and the other competitors more friendly than competative. Couldn't really ask for more.

Grace was the only cardigan, but she did pick up one win with competition, with a group 3 placing today. Peace showed well both days, yesterday I handed her off to a friend and she took that pretty well, winning her class. In addition she was able to focus in the ring even though her sister was there too, and she was being handled by someone she just met. Talie(formerly Reba) also went along to practice this weekend, and although she had a bit harder time being focused, she did pretty darn good as today she picked up her first win with a Best Novice Puppy in Show. Her owner was pretty pleased. Siren went along today as well, although she is not destined for the conformation ring, I do hope to do obedience with her so we practiced a little heeling in that environment. She received a very nice compliment from one of the judges about how well she was doing too.

Well time to go grill some dinner, I smell the steaks calling.

UKC sounds like so much fun. Can't wait to check it out with the Bug.

Congrats on your weekend.
