Canfield, OH

We started August out in Canfield, OH.  Not one of our favorite places to go because like most years it can be HOT one minute and POURING the rain the next minute and it again was that.

Leslie started out with Henry first thing at 8AM on Saturday and he won a huge BOB and earned 5 more GCH points towards his Silver!  He didn't get anything in group but was fun making it that far at this huge circuit.

Henry winning a group 3 under Judge: Keke Kahn May 2014

Faith was awarded select putting her at 50GCh points and half way to her bronze! 

The next day Henry had fun showing in the sprinkling rain.

Faith was again awarded select and now sits at 52 GCH points.

Oliver showed well both days but didn't win any ribbons.

We are home this weekend and then we hit the road for the next 4 weeks.

Catch ya later!
