We ended March in Harrisburg at the Rally National Championship.  Henry, BO, and Yoda all scored over a 90 each time in the ring.  No ribbons for us but it was an exciting time!

We started April in Pittsburgh, PA!

It was a short trip we left early Saturday moring since we had a late show time and headed back late Sunday with another late show time.

Leslie showed a standard schanuzer special for a lady and on Saturday was awarded a GCH select at the specialty for 5 points!  This was Bubbles first GCH points.

Look for a couple new dogs to make appearances during April and May.  Leslie says she is excited to see what the shows hold for the next couple months.
