Chris & Izzy picking up her final GCH major in Winston Salem, NC Dec. 2011

Well, we will be taking it easy the first two months of the year but still doing at least two weekends a month!

Our first stop of the year was in Fredericksburg, VA.

This trip we showed Henry, Izzy, Faith, and brought Breah the akita back out!  It was great to see everyone after the New Year and to start seeing what 2012 would bring.

Right off the bat Izzy won BOS behind 2011's #2 border collie to finish her GCH!  Henry also picked up select for another point.  We were feeling good about what the afternoon would bring.  Faith showed great but didn't pick up any points this weekend...but was competing against a really nice bitch.  Breah came out of the gates crazy the first day.  She showed much better the second day but the adult competition beat her out by her still looking fairly young.  We are very pleased with how she showed though.

On Sunday Izzy ended up winning her first BOB of the year!  Henry was BOS behind her.  We are proud of the brother and sister duo picking up points their first weekend back out.

Watch over the next few weeks when we update the side menu of dogs we are showing this year.  Jonesy did retire at the end of 2011 but we will have some new faces springing up for you to see! We are already excited about what 2012 will bring!

Man I have gotten way behind...I don't know where the time has gone!

Izzy picked up her final major in Winston Salem, NC in December leaving her needing one single point to finish her GCH.  Henry picked up 2 more points under judge Linda More.

Yoda picked up a few points getting a Select Dog and Best of Opposite in NC.

We then headed to Florida!

What an amazing trip we had!  We finished driving down on Monday and had a great motel so close to the show we never had to move Herc while there.  Great places to eat and some great sight seeing adventures close by.

The dogs showed amazing the whole time and we got to see lots of friends and meet some new ones.  Sadly no one came home with ribbons but they knew we were there.  Matty made the final cut in border collies on Sunday and he was the only non black and white to do so!   We are all very proud of Chris and Matty!

It was sad to leave the sunshine but we had to come back home and venture back into reality!

May 2012 be as good if not better than 2011!
