Baby Grace

Laura posted some pictures of Grace and her siblings as pups. I hadnt seen these pictures before.  I asked David to look at them and tell me which one is Grace.  He was able to pick her out right away-any idea what her defining feature is?  Its the eyebrows. Gotta laugh at Miss Grace.  Take a look, its a lovely litter.My Favorite People are Dogs

NSHGC Obedience and Rally trial

Now that the clubs conformation show is over, its time for me to start working on the workers schedule for the Obedience trial on January 30th and 31st.  Anyone in the Minneapolis area that would like to really get inside a ring and see what is going on, let me know. Its not a great big trial and we usually have lots of fun.

I debated entering a couple of the dogs, but ha, here I am co-chair and I totally missed the close date!  Yes I knew it was yesterday, I knew it was coming, but I kept waffling about whether I should or shouldn't, could I work and show blah blah blah.  Then early in the week I decided I could hande showing the 2 in pre-novice and promptly forgot to actually enter.  Ah well, there will be other times.

Day 3 of the dog show

Today I did tours at the dog show.  I really enjoy talking to others about what it is and how it works.  Met a nice lady who wants to do this whole thing, but doesnt know how to get started.  Had a verbally chalenged young man in another group. He had a hard time expressing his questions, but his love for the dogs came out really clearly. 

There wasnt a huge cardigan entry this weekend, and due to weather a couple did not make it.  A couple pulled today as well, so there was only a few dogs entered.  But Music did well again, going best of winners.  Now we will need to look for that last major.

I have to say, his person, Joyce has done such a good job with him. You can tell that he just adores her and win or lose, I know that dog is loved.  It makes me so happy to know that they are together.  

Yeah for Music

I just got a message from Joyce that Music went Best of Winners today! One point closer.  Yeah Music.  Here is his picture from his major win in August.  I just got some pictures of the boy from Joyce, so I can do his page on the website. 

I didnt go to the show today.  This show is one of the more expensive local shows, with $10.00 parking and an $8.00 spectator entry, I thought it was prudent to use the money for groceries.   Since I didnt have a dog entered, I stayed home.  I wil lbe going to watch tomorrow though as I am doing dog show tours for the club. I really enjoy showing spectators around and answering questions.  Its really fun.

Home from the show

It was a fun day today at the show.  I am a member of the herding group club, so I entered today to support the club. Spent the first part of the morning stewarding, which I really enjoy.  I was stwerading today for Bev Capstick, who is one of the founding members of the club.  It was also a good day for several of my friends and I really enjoyed watching them show.  I will et them all post their own brags.  Peace was best of opposite today, and earned herself a pretty rosette and a new chair.  I really have no intention of showing Peace as a special, but it was fun for the day, and maybe we will do it again later this year. 

GIveaway ends tomorrow!
