Off to the races!

We spent the weekend at the Richmond International Speedway and it was pretty neat!  Not every show site is as cool as this one was.

After fighting the bad weather to get there we got all setup and ready to show!

The border collies had really tough competition and even though they didn't get any ribbons they showed awesome!  Sometimes that means more than anything else.

Marty picked up his up teen dozen major reserve on Saturday and closed out his 12-18 career by winning his class!  Leslie thinks finding these last 4 singles is going to be hard. :( sure hope not!

Shirley got two 2nd places but she sure had fun doing it.  Such a pretty girl her time will come.

Yoda was the big winner of the weekend by winning 2 BOB's.  He is undefeated for Jan. and now needs 11 points to finish his Silver GCH.  Hopefully come March he can get it done.

It was also fun seeeing our friends Jean and Bobby!  We had not seen them since December and Hogan won BOB the first day! Go hogan!

This was the last prep before we leave for NYC in 2 weeks.  Don't know if we are ready but I guess we will need to be by then, lol.  After that we are going to take a short break and hit the rings strong come March.  Look for some new faces and for some old ones to return!

See you in the big apple!

The starting line for 2013!

Well, guys we started the 2013 show season this past weekend in Fredericksburg, VA!

Henry and Izzy were awarded select each day izzy for a total of 6 points and Henry for a total of 5 points!  Henry was suprised to see his mom Debbie there to see him. :)

Drogba won his last 12-18 class but didn't get any points.  It was nice to see Chris and him out there though.

Marty was 3rd on Sunday....I told him he needed to do better than that if he is going to finish soon.

Yoda was only shown one day for some crazy reason and picked up his first bob of 2013 and now needs 13 points to finish his silver GCH!

Shirley (which is a new friend) showed on Saturday and won her class.  She is still trying to figure out all the dog show business but did show well.

Danny the sheltie came for his first trip with us and he was awarded select on Saturday for his first two GCH points!  He is a little rusty Chris thinks but he will come back out of it and be just fine.

It was nice seeing folks after the holidays and seeing some people we had not seen for awhile.  We even got to see the other side of the family; Geof, Lindsey, and Tonja came to visit!

We aren't rushing back to all the shows yet but we will be back in VA by the end of the month.

Well talk to you guys soon!

The end of 2012!

I know I'm way late at posting this!

But I wanted to give you a run down on the last two weeks of shows in 2012.

We headed to NC where Yoda won 1 BOB and 2 Selects, Izzy finished his bronze medallion, Bokay won a select, Cayenne showed great and got a 4th place, and Marty won his class both days but also went WD/BOW for a 3pt major bringing him to 11pts both majors!!!!

Then on to Orlando, FL we went.  Chris got to fly down but we all rode.  Im pleased to let you know that Henry and Yoda made the first cut in their breeds at the AKC Eukanuba Inviational.

Chris won us some really nice crates!

Hope everyone had a great Christmas and New Years!

Enjoy our christmas card if you haven't seen it already.
