West Freindship, MD

We started October on a warmer rainy note in West Friendship, MD.  We had not been over there since Feb. 2012.

Henry and Leslie winning BOS at West Friendship, MD Oct. 2013
 

Started the day with Henry winning a GCH select for 3 points.  BO won his bred by class. Marty made the cut in a strong lineup of specials including BIS winners and top 20 goldens.

Marty wasn't entered on Sunday but BO won his class again and looked good in winners dog.  We hope soon he will finish breaking the ice and pick up some more points!  Henry being the big winner of the weekend picked up a BOS for 2 GCH points.  That puts him at 120....maybe a silver GCH is in his future.

We are off to the beautiful mountains of Cumberland, MD this weekend and then off for two weeks!  I'm excited to sleep and hang out at home for a little while.
