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.

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.

Aliquippa, PA

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.

Rainy Altoona, PA



We all headed up to Altoona, PA for the weekend.  The first day was miserably rain and even got cold in the afternoon.  I didn't appreciate it all but at least I stayed dry in Herc while Yoda, Henry, and Ronan got wet.  Chris & Leslie said it was a frog tog kind of day. ;-)

Thankfully the weather was much better on Sunday still somewhat wet and cool but the sun made it feel good.

Henry won BOB both days but sadly non of his compeition showed up.  But he brought home a messenger bag and towel for his mom and dad!  They seemed excited.

Yoda won two small BOB's but on Sunday brought home a group 4!  Thank you Paula Hartinger for this group placememnt on my brother.

Yoda and Leslie win a group 4 this weekend!



 Ronan was select dog on Saturday and didn't get a ribbon on Sunday.  He was wired for sound but sure had fun showing!  Leslie says its always a pleasure to work with Steve and Ronan.

Catch us next week in Michigan when we try to bring home more points on the dogs!

Labor Day at the Horsepark

Hi!

Well, I had to get the details about the new show sight for the Lexington, KY shows from Cheyenne and Leslie.  They left me and most of the gang home with Chris while he studied for his first test.   While it was nice to stay and rest I really missed being part of the action!

Yoda winning BOB at DEKC July 2012
Thank you Judge: Marcia Feld

They went for three days since it was labor day weekend.  They said the new facility was awesome!!! Still a few things to work out but it was really nice especially especially when it started to rain.

Henry and Yoda were showing this trip.  Leslie missed showing Yoda the first day because Henry's ring time ran too close.  It was ok though Henry shined in the spotlight picking up select for 1pt and a CH defeat.  The rest of the weekend didn't go so well for Henry but lots of nice dogs in compeition in Lexington.

Yoda showed well on Sunday but didn't bring home any ribbons.  He was select dog for 1pt on Monday.  He was happy though it was a early trip home and he got some new toys.  I can't believe how much they spoil him....ok i know we all are spoiled but he maybe a little too much.  Ok yes I'm somewhat jealous of my brother!

See you guys in Altoona, PA!
