Thanksgiving

We celebrated Thanksgiving and slept real good and then headed off to Tallmadge, OH for the weekend.  The weather was great until about an hour after getting there and then it was super cold and windy with a little snow.  It has been much worse in Tallmadge though.

Izzy picked up a select and BOS for 8 more GCH points she is now 6 points away from her medallion!  Good girl little Izzy!

Henry picked up 2 selects for 1 pt each!

Bokay was just like Henry getting 2 selects for 1pt each.

Marty won RWD on Saturday and WD/BOW for 1pt bringing him to a total of 8 points with one major!  Not bad at all since he really hasn't shown since July.  He is looking good!

Yoda showed on Saturday but wasn't up to par so Mom and Dad pulled him on Sunday.  Lets hope this weekend goes better for him.

We brought this real cute dog home named Cayenne.  All of us boys love her!  We will see how she does the next couple weeks in the ring.

Well, gotta go we are heading to MI soon.

Nascar Country!

We went to Nascar Country this past weekend in Concord, NC!

We had a very good weekend.

Matty picked up 1 select worth 3pts!

Izzy picked up 1 BOS 1 HUGE HUGE BOB and 1 SELECT for 14 gch pts!  Way to go lil Izzy!

Yoda picked up 2 BOB's and 1 BOS for 8 GCH pts!

We showed some goldens on Sunday and Marty showed great and won his class and Finn (a ringside pickup owned by Michelle Loy) picked up his first major!  Go Finn!

Chris showed Danny the sheltie owned by Debe Lilly on Sunday while they didn't get anything it was nice to see them together.  Watch for more from Danny in 2013.

Drogba even made an appearance at the match and won the sporting group.  He will be back in the ring next year!

Sadly our friend Bert Halsey collapsed in the Rottweiler ring Sunday afternoon.  It was very scary as he was rushed to the hospital and we didn't know what was going to happen.  He seems to be doing better as of now but we haven't had an update in the last day.  Please pray for him!

I'm super excited to eat some Turkey for Thanksgiving tomorrow.

Hope you all have a great Thanksgiving!

BIG NEWS!!!

We have BIG NEWS!

It was confirmed yesterday that Henry is the first non blk/wht border collie to medallion!  He is the 31st border collie to receive a medallion.  We couldn't be happier about this news!

The next big news is that the Canine Chronicle stats are through October 31st and Yoda is ranked #13 breed and #17 all breed!  Thank you to all of Yoda's fans for your continued support and to the judges for recognizing such a spoiled dog. ;-)

Chris & Leslie have two ads in the Canine Chronicle this month.  Check them out here but also look for them in the CC.

November starts in Va Beach!

Well, it has taken me longer to post this blog because Mom wouldn't let me go this weekend and I had to pull all the details out of Yoda!

Grandma Cheyenne, Leslie, Yoda, and Izzy traveled the long trip to VA Beach for shows Sat-Mon.

The weekend started with Izzy picking up 1GCH point with a BOS.  Leslie said Yoda was in big doodoo after Saturday because he didn't show well at all but still managed to pick up a select dog for 2pts.

Sunday Yoda was feeling much better and won a very nice BOB for 4GCHpts and he was soooo glad Leslie was happy with him again. LOL  Izzy was awarded another BOS for 1GCHpt.  Leslie also helped out in the golden ring on Sunday showing a very nice 6-9 month class bitch bred by Patty Pace and owned by Pam Simmons.  I bet she was cute!

Then came Monday and they all felt odd showing on a Monday!  But Yoda and Izzy both won BOBs each for 1GCH pt.

Then the long trip home was okay until they met a deer walking down the interstate near Staunton, VA.  Thankfully Leslie missed it or it would have really messed her car and good trip up!

It looks like they did take a few minutes to go to the ocean though.  Check out the photo they sent to Chris & I.

I won't lie I love going to the shows but it was really nice to stay in bed all weekend with Chris even though he was cramming for a huge test.  I was relieved to hear he got an A on it!  We will be heading to NC soon for the weekend and Leslie insured me I get to go everywhere the rest of the year which is coming to an end fast.

Delaware, OH closes out October

Well, I thought I might really freeze to death!  The whole weekend was filled with rain wind and more rain!  Thankfully the dogs showed inside this weekend.

We were in Delaware, OH for the weekend of shows.  That is right outside of Columbus, OH...nice little town.

This weekend showing was Henry, Gamble (making her debut), Beamer, and Derby.  Yup you got some new names in there!  We have been working with Gamble little over a month she is still a baby just at 6 months old.  She went home after the show to grow up more but she sure had fun her first time out!  Beamer and Derby are brother and sister and live in NC.  They came up while Jan the owner was visiting her aunt.  They both showed awesome Beamer picked up a 3rd place in a nice open class and Derby showed so spectacular but didn't pick up any ribbons this trip.

Yoda got the weekend off because of judge changes and he was soooo MAD!  He is very hard to live with when he gets mad but mom finally got him calmed down with some toys.  He really can be spoiled sometimes. ;-)

The big winner of the weekend was Henry!  He won back to back BOB's to pick up 5GCH points.  Remember he needed 4 to complete his bronze medallion.  Yes guys Henry is now known as Bronze GCH Trucolorz Blue Hen Of Wimzical.  We are all super excited!!!!

Check out the candid shot Leslie got of Chris and Henry after the group Saturday.
