West Kootaney Kennel Club show - Aug 20-22, 2010

WOW what a weekend!!  First off a big THANK YOU to the WKKC club for hosting a fabulous show.  This was the first year I have been and will definitely be back next year.  Keara, Lochlan and I took Bishop, Spirit & Bliss to the show to have some fun and we sure did.  Arriving around noon on the Thursday we set up camp and waited for our friends to arrive with their dogs, including Karma!!!  This was a limited entry show so there was 2 shows per day for a total of 6 sets of points to be potentially won.  There was a large entry for Aussies, 2 class males, 6 class females and a specials female (already attained a Canadian Championship).

Class males were Bishop and Risk'N Hope's Rocketman (Elton).  Class females were Karma (Edanas Sunset Legacy At Debern), Buff Cap Sugarland "Capri" (owned by Theresa Casselman), a lovely blue girl Sterling You Belong To Me "Taylor" and Glory (Casselcreek Do You Believe) girl all in Jr Puppy, Spirit (Edana's One More Day HIC) in Cdn Bred and Casselcreek Rock My World "Brooke" in the open class.  The specials girl did not make the trip but was Ch Buff Cap Belle Bottom Blues CGN "Belle" (owned by Theresa Casselman).

On Friday morning Elton beat Bishop for WM and Capri won her class as well as WF, BOW, BOBp & BOB.  Karma placed 3rd in her class as she thought bouncing off legs was a riot!!

Friday afternoon Bishop won WM for another point (now on 4 pts) and Capri repeated her win from the morning. 

Saturday Capri was moved to Specials.  In the morning Elton won WM, Brooke won WF (& I think BOW) and Capri won Breed and BOBp.  Karma won her class as she found her groove.

Saturday afternoon Capri won Breed and BOBp again.  Bishop won WM and Brooke won WF & BOW and Karma won her class. Brooke finished her CH.

Sunday Brooke was moved to Specials and since Elton finished I guess they pulled him for whatever reason.  But the break in points for males and BOW didn't much matter as Bishop won WM & BOW in both shows for 2 point wins.  He is now sitting on 9 points in only two weekends of showing!!  The judges all had wonderful comments about him, his movement was outstanding and nothing wasted.  But to top it all off Karma won both WF for her first 4 points! 

So all in all we had a fabulous weekend.  I had a 3 generation photo done of the blue girls (Honor, Spirit & Karma) and will post that as well as Karma's pic as soon as I get them!!

Another Minimal Monday

Mina & Trynity first time on sheep.  Don't know who had more fun!!

What a Weekend!!!

I couldn't be prouder of the boys!!  Both boys beat their mom this past weekend in Vernon for Breed and a nice 2 point win.  As soon as pictures come I will post them.  So in summary Spirit is sitting on 6 points, Bishop is sitting on 3 points and Baron on 2 points.

Our First Title!!!

Edana's Take It Or Leave It CGN

Sohan and his momma, Chloe, had the opportunity to try for the CGN title today and passed with flying colors.  I hear that Sohan has beautiful heel work and was enamoured with the evaluator when it came time for the brushing.  I am so proud of you both!!!  Keep up the good work!

CGN stands for Canine Good Neighbor.  This is a test through the CKC for dogs to go through various steps in proving they have what it takes to be a good neighbor in the community.  Some of the tests include being brushed/groomed by a friendly stranger, walking through a noisy crowd, being left for 2 min with a stranger in a stay/wait.  This test may seem easy but there has to be a good foundation to start.

Minimal Monday

Baron attempts to fly after watching the ducks do it!!
