We finished August in the dust bowl!

Well, the August 2012 shows are done for us!  We finished up in a dust bowl (guess better than a mud bowl) in Chagrin Falls, OH.

We only went for the weekend and it was pretty hot!

First day Yoda and Henry brought home select ribbons.  Neither one recieved any points as their wasn't enough compeition.  That was okay though we enjoyed some ice cream and relaxed.

On Sunday Yoda showed so early he got all wet!  But he brought home another BOB win!  Giving him 9 out of 12 BOB's and a total of 63 breed points for the month!  He did great! 

Next week Leslie and Grandma Cheyenne will be off to the horsepark with the two boys and dad and I with the rest of the gang will be hanging at home.  Chris has his first test on Tuesday so we will be studying pharmacology during the Labor Day break. 

Hope the girls have fun but don't spend too much money! ;-)

Purple & Gold in Greensboro

Yoda's August Canine Chronicle Ad

Well, now that I have rested some from the long 5 day trip Mom took us on to Greensboro, NC I will let you know what happend.

Henry showed 4 days taking Friday off to rest just a little.  He didn't have any luck until Chris showed him on Sunday (yea I think he prefers for him to show him) and won a 3pt GCH major Select!  Good Boy!  He is getting closer to that Bronze medallion.

Leslie showed this neat golden named Jack on Friday.  They didn't far to well but did give Leslie a good opportunity to give his owner a few hints of what will make him look better.  We wish them lots of luck in Raleigh in a couple weeks.

Yoda showed all five days.  The first day he was ready to go and showed AMAZING!  He went on to be awarded 1GCH and Select Dog.  The #1 Papillon All Breed System was there so he had tough compeition but I was happy that the judge came back and gave Yoda a hard look.   The rest of the way Yoda was taking home the Purple & Gold Ribbons like we knew he could!  At the end of the 5 day circuit he had 1 Select and 4 BOB's worth 12 GCH points and 34 breed points. 

After dropping to #17 in last months stats this should really help him.

GO YODA GO!!!

If you can't tell I'm pretty proud of my little brother even if he gets on my nerves sometimes. ;-)

PS Hope you enjoy viewing Yoda's newest Ad! 

Yoda goes 4 for 5!!!

Bronze AM GCH/CAN CH Marquis The Phantom Menace "Yoda"

Yoda shows for 5 days (3 in VA and 2 in MI) and wins 4 of 5 BOB's picking up 25 points!!!! 

Yea you read that right my brother did amazing.  Leslie and he left us at home with Chris (which was fun!) and showed in VA for 3 days before coming home to pick us up and head to MI for the weekend.  It was a long trip but was well worth it.

Henry and Izzy also went to MI with us and both picked up 2GCH points...Henry was lucky enough to get another BOB win.  He has sure been having a good year.

We are off this weekend as Leslie and Chris will be attending a friends wedding.  I'm just sad I don't get to go!

I'll let you know how we do in Greensboro.  Keep all your toes and fingers crossed for another good trip.

Marion, OH

I know I know I know!  I'm behind.  But man Chris & Leslie have been keeping me sooo busy I hardly have time to write this blog anymore.  Don't worry I will have a talk with them about that.

We fought the storms to go to Marion, OH.  Yoda picked up his only BOB in July and a Select.  Even though July wasn't that great for him he is still my brother and I won't let him pick on me.

Henry was BOS and Select and Izzy was Select both days...just not enough compeition for points.  We are really running into low entry numbers in Border Collies here lately.

This was the last weekend out of BoKay and she picked up a Select for 2 points.  She sure finished up showing great!  But don't worry she will be back in October and I'm looking forwards to it as I know she pushes Leslie and Chris's buttons. ;-)

Check out what Leslie did the week after Marion coming up soon!
