Fall in Cumberland, MD

Yoda & Leslie winning a group 3 under Arley Hussin in Cumberland, MD October 2012

We spent a few fall days in Cumberland, MD.  Leslie and I love these shows but for some reason Chris not so much!  You always can see the beauiftul fall colors down in the valley. Yes we got caught in some rain but for the most part the weather was better than it has been for years at these shows!

Henry was awarded two selects bringing him to needing 4 singles to achieve his bronze medallion.  Yes, he is taking his good ol' time about it.

Izzy won a select and two best of opposites sadly not enough dogs showed up for her to obtain any points.  She sure is driving all the younger guys crazy because she is in heat.  Me, I don't care so much because I'm older and much more mature!

Yoda won 1 select and 2 best of breeds along with a group 3 on sunday.  These wins should move him up in the rankings.

Overall it was a nice relaxing trip!  Just what I needed. 

Check back next week for results from Ohio with a few new dogs.  Hope you enjoyed Yoda's candid shot from this weekend after his group 3 under Arley Hussin.

Well, guys I thought I might just freeze to death this weekend!  It was cold, rainy, and windy.  I keep telling them we need to get to some inside shows.

On Saturday the weather wasn't too bad on Saturday after the rain cleared out.  Izzy won a 4pt GCH major by going select.  She has really been picking up some points lately. BeckhamOtis made his 3rd appearance in the conformation ring and won his class with Chris showing him.  They looked great!  Henry couldn't bring home any ribbons on Saturday.  Yoda won BOB at the Three Rivers Papillon Club Supported entry and then went on to win a group 4 in strong compeition.  Thank you Robert Hutton for these wins!

Then on Sunday came the cold cold cold weather with wind and then in the afternoon it started to rain.  Henry was select dog on Sunday for 1pt.  Izzy screwed herself up so no points on Sunday.  Chris showed Edge a GSD for Don and Kay Miller and they won the breed for another point!  Edge is really maturing nicely.  BeckhamOtis won his class again.  I was really impressed with how he showed...now if he would grow some more hair maybe he could go show some more!  Yoda did it again!  Winning the 2nd supported entry by Three Rivers Papillon Club and went on to a group 3 that day in the group!  Thank you Barabara Alderman and Kent Delaney for this wins! 

Only problem now is Yoda has a bigger head than usual and is trying to annoy me.  Chris insured me that this weekend we will get to hang out together because Leslie and Grandma Cheyenne are going to the beach with Yoda and Henry! 

I'm not ready for winter are you?!?!?!

Check out the candid shot Chris took of Yoda and Leslie this weekend.  The win photos look good too can't wait to get them!

Yoda and Leslie win both Three Rivers Supported Entries and a Group 3 & 4!!!!

September has come and gone!

Hi guys!

Sorry I haven't updated you more but we have been so busy that I haven't even had time to get to the computer.

We left off at Altoona, PA.  After that we went to Goodells, MI...yea we basically went to Canada!  It was a fun trip even though it was rainy for part of it. But we got to see alot of our golden friends!

Then it was a trip to Butler, PA. We haven't been at these shows for a few years but once the rain passed the show was great.  Yoda won a select and a awesome BOB!  Izzy picked up 6 GCH points and Marty had a blast getting back in the ring.  I keep telling him he needs to grow some hair!  The storms did come back on Saturday night and Chris & Leslie rushed and got us all back in the truck and packed everything away.  Good thing they did because the rain and wind came and the show tent got knocked down partially!

Last weekend Leslie, Yoda, and Izzy went to Millwood, VA.  They said the weather was great.  They each brought back a select worth 1pt.

I can't believe its already October!  Before we know it the year will be over! Here is to hoping October is exciting as the past few months have been.
