YODA WINS BIG AT THE TARHEEL CIRCUIT!!!!

Yoda resting up for another big day of showing!

We went to Raleigh, NC for the last two days of the Tarheel circuit.  It was loads of fun...minus the rain the weather was great.

We started Saturday off pretty early with the Border Collies showing.  I thought Henry was going to get Select but at the last minute the judge changed her mind.  Izzy showed well but didn't get anything.  Lots of competitions down there this year in Border Collies and Chris and Leslie were happy to see some nice dogs.

Then Leslie went to goldens and showed a ring side pick up.  Her name is Alibi and I thought she was pretty cute.  She showed well for not showing since 2010.  Seemed like maybe her light bulb was flickering on Sunday and she showed even better!  She didn't get anything but we are proud of how she showed.

Papillons were late on Saturday and didn't show until 2:15.  Remember I told you that you would hear about a new dog.  Well, she is in the ring and did great! Chris showed Ginny and she won 1/WB/BOW for a 3 pt major!!! This give Ginny 12 points with both majors. The big news is Yoda won BOB over the #4 papillon in the US!  The judge had a lot of nice things to say about my brother too which was nice.  He didn't get anything in the group but these were probably the strongest toy groups we have seen for quite some time.

Chris and Leslie kept me up later in the day for a golden only match where they showed Drogba and Sultry.  Both did very well.  Drogba won his class and Sultry was 2nd.

Then came Sunday...we had our show times pretty much crunched together! 

Henry was select for 1 point and Izzy was a little sluggish.

Chris and Leslie quickly moved over to the pap ring where Ginny was RWB to a major.  They were a little bummed as that would have finished Ginny but she needs 3 singles and they feel they can finish her before she goes home!  At least the big major is out of the way.

Yoda did it again!  Winning another large BOB over the #4 papillon in the US.  He gained 38 breed points and 10 GCH points this weekend.  I'm so proud of my brother!

Back to the golden ring they went but no ribbons this weekend.

We got home late but it was for sure worth it!

We will see you guys in the steel city this weekend....look for hopefully more good news!

Point Totals
Izzy 42 GCH points

Henry 46 GCH points

Yoda 74 GCH points

Ginny 12 points with both majors

Celtic Cluster

Hey Everyone! I wanted to update you what happend last week before we leave for this week.

We were at the Celtic Cluster in York, PA for three days!  Chris had been in CA all week for a reserach confrence and came back just in time to head to the show.  I sure did miss him!

The border collies started off strong on Friday each picking up select behind the #1 and #2 border collies in the US.  Henry was awarded a 5pt GCH major and Izzy was awarded a 3pt GCH major!
Sadly the judge didn't care for Yoda on this day but it was a warm up to the weekend for him.
Leslie decided they would show the golden puppies on Friday only.  Marty won his 6-9 puppy class and went on to win a major reserve!  Drogba showed in bred by for the first time and did well....he won Leslie a new step stool!  She was excited about that.

On Saturday Henry and Izzy were both select again and Henry was awarded 5pts and Izzy 4 pts!  Yoda was Select as well.  He picked up on point! 

Then came Sunday...Border Collies didn't fair as well and Yoda was select again.  Yoda showed beautifully though and Chris and Leslie couldn't have been more proud of him!

Point totals right now.
Yoda 64 GCH points
Izzy 42 GCH points
Henry 45 GCH points
