Riverview Handling At The Black Diamond Cluster, Waynesburg PA

This weekend you could find my friends and I at the Black Diamond Cluster in Waynesburg Pa.  Well at least for the weekend shows. The weekend started on Friday as we traveled to New Castle, PA for Chrissy, Jonesy and Chase to be shown at a golden retriever specialty and Chuck was entered in Rally Advanced and Excellent as he tries to earn his RAE. Chase is owned was finished by Leslie and has turned 8 and is eligible for veteran’s class. The goldens all showed well but unfortunately there were no big wins on that day. Chuck however, did pick up 4 RAE legs giving him 6 of the 10 required for his RAE title. Following the Golden speciality, we all travled back to Waynesburg PA for the Black Diamond Cluster.
Chris and Leslie had high hopes for everyone showing this weekend and were really excited that Breah, Mariah’s WV Sassy Lady B, was making her show debut in the 6-9 puppy bitch class on Sunday. But before I can talk about Sunday I guess I should mention what happened on Sat. Saturday Chrissy, Jonesy, Matty, Henry, Izzy, and Faith were shown. Chrissy, Jonesy, and Henry showed well but it was not their day as each left the ring without any ribbons. Izzy was WB/BOS for 2 points, Chris and Leslie were hoping that she could get a major but unfortunately Izzy was one bitch short of her final major. Matty was select dog for 2 GCH points bringing his total to 28. And Faith was WB for her 5th point. Faith has been on a role, she has 5 points in 5 weekends out.

Sunday much of the same was seen. Matty was select dog for 2 more GCH points, his total now at 30. He is the  #1 GCH ranked Border Collie in WV. His brother Henry, is #2 with 11 points and was unfortunately unable to add to his total this weekend. Faith, Chrissy, and Izzy were left wanting more as none of them took any points. Breah, showed like an old pro and took reserve. Leslie and Chris were so proud of how she showed and really think the future is bright for this sassy little girl. The big winner this weekend was Ch Evergreens Smarty Jones, Jonesy. Jonesy was select dog for a 3 point GCH major. I am proud to announce that Jonesy is now known as AM GCH/CAN CH Evergreens Smarty Jones. This is the third GCH Chris and Leslie has put on a dog during this years Eukanuba Cup qualifying time period. Keep on eye out at your local shows for Riverview Handling as they try and finish even more titles this year!!
