Cleveland

We headed to cold and what ended up snowy Cleveland, OH to end the year!

We did have lots of fun though.  It was nice to see people we had not seen for awhile and to wish everyone a Merry Christmas!  Had dinner with Tyler and Shawna one evening as well.  Yummy Bob Evans!

The compeititon was really stiff in Springers, Shelties, and Border Collies ( of course the 3 breeds we took) lol.  Faith and Danny showed great but didn't get anything this trip.  Look for both of them to finish their GCH's in 2014!!!

Matty was on a roll picking up 6 points with two select wins behind his dad Storm.  Matty fell short of pickng up more points on Sunday but we are proud of him.  For the two weeks out in December he garnerd 7 points.  He needs 15 more and he will be done with his bronze GCH and head to life a retirement from conformation showing.



Maerry Christmas 2013!

We are proud of all we accomplished this year.  Here is our 2013 Christmas card.  Maybe I will make it back on the card next year. ;-)  HINT HINT!

Winston Salem, NC Dec 2013

RIFLE IS ON FIRE!!!!!!!!!

1 WEEK LEFT TO GO!!!!!!!!!!


Rifle's candid photo from winning BOB over specials!!!

Well, we made the short trip to Winston Salem, NC and bad weather was predicted.

Rifle was awarded WD/BOW for 2 points on Saturday and Matty won a select dog for 1pt.

THen on Sunday sadly the points went down as people left with bad weather possibly coming. THANKFULLY IT DIDN'T! Rifle was awarded WD/BOW/BOB for 1pt but he won over one special!!!  Matty was awarded select but not enough dogs for points.

Wow Rifle is on fire....he has won 6 points the last 3 times out with me!  Maybe he will finish early in 2014.

We have one weekend left of shows and we are headed to snowy cold cleveland....burrr!

MD and Thanksgiving!

Well, I told you I would let you know about our intresting trip to MD.  It was intresting because Leslie judged!  Yes you read that right!  She was asked to judge sweepstakes for the local Golden Club. She had a great entry of almost 25 total entries and had some exceptional dogs.  Her BISS went to a bitch and her BOSS went to a boy of course. ;-)  Hopefully we will get to see some photos of her winners.   Her BVISS went on to win Best Vet in Show on Saturday so she must have done a pretty good job.  I know she could!  She says she had lots of fun but isn't ready to move to judging full time.

Matty went on to show that weekend and picked up two BOS's for 2 points.  Good boy Matty!

We were then home for Thanksgiving.  It was great to relax and hang out at home.  Leslie even had a few days off from work....good for her!

It is back on the road for two weeks and then the year is over!  Can't say I'm not excited to be home for a little bit but then we will be hitting the road in January again.  We are looking forward to an exciting 2014!

Here is the photo of Rifle from the Concord, NC shows where Leslie picked up 2 majors on 2 different dogs.  WOOZERS!!!!

Rifle winning his 2nd major on his 2nd birthday!

Cumberland, MD

We spend two enjoyable days in Cumberland, MD to end the month of shows for Ocotber. 

Matty had to miss these shows for being a little under the weather but he is doing much better now!

BO picked up another reserve we sure hope he breaks out of that soon!

Faith picked up a select for 2 points and recived BOB on Sunday for her final GCH CH defeat and a 3 point major.  She now needs 2 singles to finish her GCH.

Danny was select both days for a point.

We are enjoying our 2nd weekend home in a row.  Not sure what to do with this time but Leslie seems to be staying busy.  Look for us in NC soon! :)

West Freindship, MD

We started October on a warmer rainy note in West Friendship, MD.  We had not been over there since Feb. 2012.

Henry and Leslie winning BOS at West Friendship, MD Oct. 2013
 

Started the day with Henry winning a GCH select for 3 points.  BO won his bred by class. Marty made the cut in a strong lineup of specials including BIS winners and top 20 goldens.

Marty wasn't entered on Sunday but BO won his class again and looked good in winners dog.  We hope soon he will finish breaking the ice and pick up some more points!  Henry being the big winner of the weekend picked up a BOS for 2 GCH points.  That puts him at 120....maybe a silver GCH is in his future.

We are off to the beautiful mountains of Cumberland, MD this weekend and then off for two weeks!  I'm excited to sleep and hang out at home for a little while.
