Lets go back to the end of October. We drove clear out to Leesburg, VA and Mother Nature had some bad weather in store for us. I wasn't ready to go for my walks in the snow yet but that is what she gave us. Both shows were cancelled because of snow. Chris & Leslie were kinda upset because they thought Jason had a pretty good shot to finish and the border collies to pick up some points but it just wasn't in the cards. So we headed home Saturday afternoon and got some rest on Sunday.
We then were off to Ft. Wayne, IN. We had never been to this show before but it was quite nice. It sure felt good to be showing inside after that bad weather the weekend before.
Going to Indiana we had Faith, Izzy, Henry, Yoda, and Jason. The weekend started off with Jason winning a major reserve under Tim Catterson at a PCA supported entry. If Jason would have won that would have finished him! But Leslie was pleased with how he showed. Then came Yoda and Yoda hasn't shown very much this year but when he has he is very competitive. He made the cut getting a hard look. Then it was time for the Border Collies to have their turn. Henry showed great but was unable to pick up any points. Izzy took BOS for 1GCH pt. Faith decided to take so many laps around the ring I took a nap. But Chris told me he got some good photos of her in sweepstakes where she won her class! Regular classes didn't go as well when Faith received 4th place.
The next day started again with the Papillons and we didn't have much luck on this day. But everyone showed great! Then it was Faith's turn and she surprised us all again winning her sweeps class and then taking Best Of Opposite Sweepstakes. Again regular classes didn't go well but thanks to Judge Jamie Hubbard, Faith will always be known as Kalwa's Elements of Faith, BOSS!!!! She won a huge ribbon that is pictured below. I've never seen one so big!!!! Then the Border Collies took another trip around and they are really on top of their game right now in the ring. Henry just wasn't able to win any ribbons this trip but Izzy won BOS again for 2GCH pts.
