Waynesville & Waynesburg

Well, I missed giving ou all the details from Waynesville, NC so I will let you know what happend in the 2 days there and the 4 days in Waynesburg.

We started the Waynesville trip off crazy on Saturday.  Apparently Izzy got flustered and decided to rip the end of her tail out!!!  Yikes!  So she won't be shown for awhile.  Hopefully when she comes back out she will be going for her medallion.

Henry was Select Dog on Saturday under Paula Hartinger for 2 points.  He didn't pick up anymore points on Sunday but really showed well.

Yoda won the breed on Saturday under Roger Hartinger and was Select the next day under Paula.  So all in all he did very well.

We showed Marty on Saturday and he won his class.  Then on Sunday it was Drogbas turn and he won his class.  Hopefully the boys will pick a few more single points up before they go away for a few months.

Chris and the gang and I left late Wed. to head to Waynesburg, PA...short tirp for us but it was a long and fairly hot 4 days.  Not as hot on the weekend as the first two day but it was pretty darn warm.

Yoda was the only one to show on Thursday and he was select.  On Friday and Saturday he picked up two nice BOB's and Sunday he was Select Dog again. He picked up a total of 6 GCH points this weekend and has a total of 4 BOB's for the month!

Henry showed Friday and Satruday and won both BOB's!  He picked up a total of 4 GCH points in the two days.  Good job Henry!

On the weekend the goldens got to show.  On Saturday BO made an apperance for Sweeps and Regular classes.  He was 2nd in sweeps and 4th in regular classes.  Leslie was proud of how he showed but knows he needs some coat.  Maybe this fall when the other guys are taking a break he can show some.

BoKay was sooooo BAD on Saturday under breeder judge Ken Schlecht.  But he still gave her BOB!  This win finishes her GCH.  Chris is glad they don't have to be chasing a major for her.  She will go home in a few weeks and then we will venture to FL with her this winter.  On Sunday she was Select Bitch.

On Sunday the silly cousins that think they are brothers came out to play.  Leslie showed both Marty and Drogba.  It was the first time Leslie had taken Drogba in the ring for his actual class.  They both showed well but Marty ended up taking WD for 2 points.  At 10 months old he now has 6 points with 1 major!  The prince did well. ;-)

Thankfully it was a short trip home.  We were all so very tired that Yoda and I just passed out.

Herc is getting some work done but will be back for our next trip to PA this weekend.  3 more weekends and Leslie says we get a week off.  WOOHOO!

Here is the latest win photo for Yoda.  Enjoy!

Oh my goodness where has time gone!  I have been awful about posting on here but we have been everywhere!

I let you know how Eaton went the first weekend in May but now I will tell you about the other shows we did.

CC Breed Stats 4/30/2012

We went to Bucryus, OH the 2nd weekend in May and Yoda won a very nice BOB over a top 10 papillon.  On Sunday he was select for 1pt.

Matty went a long for the ride and was select dog on Saturday but no points available.  On Sunday Henry was select dog for no points.  Both showed great and it was nice to have Matty back out!

We were off for the 3rd weekend.  Yea can you believe it???  I sure couldn't! ;-)

Chris and I with some dogs went to Marietta, OH for 3 days of shows and Leslie, Yoda, and Henry went to Manassas, VA for 2 days of showing.

Marietta was busy with lots of dogs but thankfully Tyler was able to help!
We started showing CH O'quince Picking Wildflowers "BoKay" again.  She already had 4GCH points after we showed her in Feb. during this trip she picked up 7GCH points.  She won BOB one day and sure had fun.

Drummer showed on Friday and was RWD behind his half brother at the specialty.

Izzy was BOB all three days but didn't have any luck in the group ring.

Chris picked up a puppy bitch and she needed some experience but did seem to enjoy herself for the most part.

Leslie won select with Yoda and Henry both days.  Each for 1 point.  She said the enjoyed spending time with family while over there.

We ended the month doing a crazy 5 days for Memorial day in Hamilton, OH.  The weather was so nice the first two days that I got to stay outside all day...I sure liked that!  But after that it got blazing hot in the mid 90's!  I don't think I have drank that much water in a very long time.

The first day was the central regional for goldens.

Marty won his sweeps and regular class and Drogba was 2nd in both of his behind Marty.

Drummer showed great but ended up 4th!  Drummer has now gone home to try his luck at becoming a daddy.

Leslie showed Marty's half sister dolly.  They won a very nice 9-12 class and went on to win RWB! 

Then we had 4 days of all breed shows.
BoKay was Select Bitch Sat., Sun., and Monday for 2 points each day.
Izzy was BOB on Friday for 2pts and BOS on Saturday for 1pt
Henry was Select dog on Sunday for 3pts
Yoda won BOB/Grp4 on Friday and BOB/Grp3 on Monday....he had a fantastic weekend and yes folks Leslie finally put the placements on him!
Faith worked hard for 3 days but came home with only one ribbon.

It was nice to be able to spend more than two days at a show site and just relax some.  Everyone got to go on nightly walks and just RELAX!

It did feel good to get home and sleep in our own bed even if it was just for a few days.

Yoda 91 GCH points
Izzy 50GCH points
Henry 61 GCH points
Matty 56 GCH points

Ft. St. Clair KC, Eaton, OH

Ronan picking up a major in PA April 2012

We went to the small town of Eaton, OH this past weekend and it was cold and rainy the first day and beautiful the second day.

Along for the ride was Faith, Henry, Drummer,Sultry, and Yoda.  We picked Ronan up a the show!

Faith won her class both days but didn't pick up a major.  It was nice to see some great dogs though!

Henry was select dog both days and picked up a point the first day but not enough dogs the 2nd day for any points.

Drummer was RWD on Saturday and WD/BOW on Sunday for a point!  Chris & Drummer looked great.

Sultry was only shown on Saturday before she went home with her mom.  She showed great but didn't win any ribbons.

Drogba winning Best Of Opp Sweeps at PVGRC 4/13/12

Yoda was select dog both day for 2 points each day!  Soon Yoda might have a medallion.

Ronan was select dog on Saturday for 1pt and didn't win anything on Sunday.  The cool weather sure made Ronan crazy but he is a cool dog.

Chris & Leslie told me about this cool pig sale they saw at the show too!  It happend Saturday evening in a building near where they were camping.  The highest price pg of the night went for $850.00. It was very neat at these kids were getting ready to show these pigs at the OH State Fair this summer!  Its neat when you can see other things at the shows.

One more weekend of shows and then we are off for a weekend!  Don't tell Chris & Leslie but I'm ready for extra bed time. ;-)

I'll let you know what happens in Bucyrus next week....all I know is I hope the weather is better this year than the last time I went!

Hope you enjoy some photos from recent wins!

Marty picking up his first major at PVGRC on 4/13/12

Dog Shows & Soccer

Columbus Crew Stadium

It was a cold, windy, and rainy weekend in Columbus, OH.  It made for a great weekend of shows and Chris & Leslie went to a Columbus Crew Soccer Game which Chris has always wanted to do!
Saturday was filled with two golden specialties.  We started a new dog this weekend, Drummer.  He is known as Gangway's Making Noise At Kelore and he won big!!!  He was WD at both specialties picking up valuable single points towards his Championship.  At the first specialty Marty won the 6-9 class and Drogba was 2nd behind him.  Then in the 2nd specialty Drogba was RWD!  Chris and Leslie were really excited about this coming from 6-9 class with lots of nice dogs.

Then Sunday we picked up the all breed dogs.  Henry was Select Dog for 1pt and Izzy was BOS for 1pt.  Yoda showed great but didn't get anything.  Faith was RWB...we are hoping she will break out soon and single out. Drummer was 3rd in open.  Marty was 1st/BOBpuppy/Puppy grp2.

The puppies will have a few weeks off as Chris & Leslie focus on the client dogs.  This is Sultry's last weekend with us but it has been great getting to know her!  We are off to almost Indiana this weekend....we will be 13 miles from the Indiana border.  Lets hope this weekend is as good as the past few have been.

MD to PA and a Duck comes home to WV!

What we brought home from PVGRC!

Well, we had a busy three day trip to Frederick, MD and then on up to Harrisburg, PA last week.

We started in Frederick, MD at the first day of the Potomac Valey GRC.  The day started off bright with Drogba winning Best Of Opposite in Sweepstakes.  Drogba's now known as Labradorite's Shoots N Scores, BOSS!!!!  YAY!

Then started the regular classes.  Marty won his 6-9 class.  Drogba was 2nd in bred by (not bad for a baby).  Marty then went back in and won WD for his first 3 point major!!!  Sultry had a fun day in the ring but didn't get anything.

We are very excited about Marty winning his first major at a specialty and under breeder judge Rhonda Hovan.  For this win he won a fancy duck!  This hanmade duck is the biggest Leslie has won so far.  She won Best Junior at PVGRC a couple times but her duck was much smaller.





We then headed 75 miles North to Harrisburg, PA.

Yoda showed well both days but didn't come home with any ribbons. :(  I told him he needed to pick it up!

Breah showed great and won her class both days but has decided to shed all of her coat out so it will probably be a few months before she hits the ring again but she is going to come for a few rides.

Faith won her class both days and picked up a nice reserve on Sunday.  That springer ring is tough!

Henry was Select Dog both days and the first day picked up 2 GCH points and on Sunday picked up 1 GCH points.

Izzy was BOS the first day for 2 GCH points and Select Bitch on Sunday for 3 GCH points.

The border collies are moving up on the GCH points and hope to have a mediallion the next couple of months.

We picked the goldens back up on Sunday and while Drogba was acting like he knew what he was doing he was 2nd place again.  Marty was reserve and Leslie was very impressed with how he showed for Chris...she said he looked amazing!

We will spend the next few weeks in Ohio showing.  Look for a new dog and some more news to come from the road!

Marty picking up his first point!
