Tara, Dixie, and Dori have traveled with Ava and I to a few shows this spring that have also offered matches for puppies. I think they’ve been fairly successful!
At the Birmingham KC match:
#1 Tara
#2 Dori
#3 Dixie
At the Valdosta KC match:
#1 Tara
#2 Dori
#4 Dixie
At the Great Smoky Mountains Dog Club:
Of the 4 matches offered that weekend, Dori made the final cut twice, then Dori was Reserve Best Puppy in Show (handled by an 8 year old who had never been in the ring before that day – thanks so much Samantha!), and Dixie was Best Puppy in Show! What fun!
In addition, Ava was at the top of her game, bringing home a Group One, two Group Twos, and a Group Three! I really don’t remember the drive home that day! Not every weekend is like that. In fact, most weekends aren’t like that, but they sure are fun when they are!
And finally, this past Sunday, Dori was Best Herding Group Puppy at the Huntsville KC match! Did I mention we’re having fun?! 🙂

Dori moves!

Dori and her junior handler – happy girls!
Way to go, girls! And that includes you, Leslie, and Samantha!
