First we will start with Porter who was showing out in Shelton, WA with his owner Debi Adams. On Saturday he was Winners & Best of Winners for 2 points under Ms. Patricia Trotter!!! Then on Sunday he was Winners Dog for another point under Mr. George Boulton! He now has 8 poinst and a major at 7 months in I think only 5 shows that he's been too!!!! We are so proud of our grand baby. We also got some pics of him that Sandi Rolf took of him in the ring that I will post in a bit. For anyone that still doesn't know, Porter is out of Heidi, that we bred (sister to Anna) and Porter was bred by Janis Castle & Susan Vernon. But we are so proud of him as one of our grand babies!
Okay, AKC lure coursing up in Virgina with George & Michelle Evans and Joanne Ronning. On Saturday Ripley won the Open Stake and went on to Best of Breed for a 5 point major!!! Trick also ran an entire trial and finished his SC title! On Sunday, Ripley placed 2nd in Open for 2 points to finish his AKC Field Championship!!! His sister Sunny was 3rd for her first point. Trick placed 4th in Open and ran really well from what we heard! Derby won the Field Champion Stake of 8 dogs for 3 LCX points and Aren placed 4th in Field Champions. Ripley, Sunny & Derby are all Brooks kids out of "Kira" of Joanne's. Trick is one of our Leigh x Flynn kids and Aren is a Murphy son!
On Friday, mom took Leigh, Rupert and my younger brother Stuart (who's 13) to a UKC show in Hickory, NC. Rupert was Best Male, Best of Breed and Sighthound Group 1 and Stuart showed Leigh to Best Female and then showed her in Juniors and was 2nd out of 4. This was his very first time showing.
Then we went to the Southern Specialty in Atlant, GA on Saturday (only stayed for Saturday). Nothing exceptional to report, but Isaac was 3rd in BBE dogs. Quincy was pulled out of about 14 dogs in Open to be one of the 5 dogs that made the cut but did not place. I showed Charlize, mostly for the exposure and she showed incredibly well given what she went through at last years National. After a few minutes in the ring she was calm and paying attention to me - no problems with anything, I am so proud of my girl! Helen showed so well, she is incredibly easy to show, just like grandma Leigh - but she started to hitch a little, especially towards the end of the day during Sweeps were the judge REALLY liked her but ultimately put he 3rd probably because she started hitching worse the more she went around the ring (and it was a HUGE ring!). Leigh showed incredible as usual but that was about it. Julie Poole was there taking pictures so I can't wait to see what she got of the kids!!!
That's about it for this weekend! But we were home on Sunday, it was GORGEOUS out so we took Dido's pups outside for the first time and attempted stacked shots - which the puppies did wonderful at. We got some really good pictures of them that you can see on the website (way to many to post here). They were just 2 days shy of 4 weeks - their 1 month bday is tomorrow! Enjoy the pics, we are so happy with them but still can't figure out who we are going to keep :(
