Prospect, PA

Leslie, Kelsey, and the gang went and celebrated Leslie's 30th birthday in Pennsylvania!

Just a few dogs this trip before we have a weekend off before leaving for the national.

Saturday
Danny (Sheltie) BOS
Andy (golden) 2nd/RWD
KD and Marty showed beautifully

During BIS a huge rain storm came in it was pretty ridiculous but we had already packed everything up so it was fairly painless for us.

Sunday
Danny (sheltie) BOS *He is very close to finishing his Bronze GCH now*
Andy ( golden) 1st/WD/BOW
KD and Marty again showed great!

Enjoy your week folks!

Pinehurst, NC

We headed back to the south to Pinehurst, NC for 3 days of shows.  It had been years since we had attended these shows because of bad weather in the past but this year the weather was beautiful and we had lots of fun.  Leslie only brought goldens this trip so that was change of pace for everyone. The gang met up with Amy and her 3 pooches and had a very successful trip!

Kelsey and Amy did an awesome job running the setup while Leslie was running around the ring. I think they all had a blast in Pinehurst.  Now to head north for a little while. One trip left before the GRCA national. I'm super excited about that!

Sorry, I'm having problems getting photos to upload but hopefully soon the problem will be resolved.

Clermont County KC Wilmington, OH

We took a short trip to Wilmington, OH at the Roberts Center for the Clermont County KC Ohio shows.  This was our first trip to the Eukanuba Hall.

Saturday
Jonah (springer) Select for a 4pt gch major his 2nd time in the BOB ring shown beautifully by Kesley Martin
Bullitt (papillon) Select
Andy (golden) 3rd
Violet (golden) 2nd
KD (golden) 4th


We were getting ready to watch BIS and a light exploded and caught fire.  We quickly had to get all of the dogs out and back in the truck so the Fire Department could check to see what was going on.  Once everything calmed down we watched BIS under the cobblestone pavilion.  Never a dull moment at dog shows!

Sunday
Faith (springer) select to close out her all breed career!  What a fun ride it has been with her.
Bullitt (papillon) select
Violet (golden) 4th
Andy ( golden) 1st/wd for 2 points his first weekend out!  We expect great things from Andy!
Danny (sheltie) won a huge BOB at the all breed supported entry and BOS at the specialty held that afternoon

It was a great girls weekend with Kelsey and Peggy coming along for the fun trip with a stop at the outlet mall and dinner with all the ladies saturday night.  Maybe next week they will let me go instead of leaving me at home with grandpa.

Have a great labor day!

Lexington, KY title #9

The gang spent a week at the Altech arena at the horse park in Lexington, KY.  We always love going to these shows because it is such a beautiful venue and the weather was exceptional!

#teamriverview started with a bang on Wed. getting a huge 4 point major on Jonah the springer.  This left him needing 1 major. 
Bo (golden) 3rd
Bullitt (papillon) select shown beautifully by team member Kelsey Martin

Thursday
Jonah (springer) 2nd
Kd (golden) 4th

Friday
Bo (golden) 2nd
Jonah (springer) 1st/wd for another 4 point major making him a new CH!  He finished in 6 weekends and is Leslie's first springer CH not bad for a tri boy. Congrats to owner/breeder Alice Rendall!

The rest of the trip we didn't bring in any ribbons but all the dogs showed beautifully and we are proud of that. We had a good time seeing friends that we had not seen awhile and got to see our very good friend Mike Pickard and Kahuna win their first BIS! 

We have a full month of shows in September ending the month at the GRCA national! Can't wait for a fun week full of goldens. :)
