We headed back to the river city this past weekend in Huntington, WV.  Sadly we got stuck in a huge rain storm and didn't make it to the building Friday night but the results were more than worth it!

Target's 1st point! 12 months of age

That gives Henry the border collie 2 group placements this year!  Oilver now sits at 15 GCH poins with 10 to go.  Will we find 5 more for him?!?!?  Leslie and Oilver have been working hard so we shall see.

The past two weeks we have had 3 dogs start the quest towards their CH.  It is nice to have Danny's GCH completed and he will slowly go towards his Bronze GCH now. Faith has had a great summer and is over half way through her Bronze GCH.

It is almost the end of the unofficial summer but Riverview has had a great summer with exciting new things.  Like our brand new 5500 onan generator that is going to make life much easier and cooler on all of us! Dogs that have finished and just begun!  Thank you to everyone that has helped or had dogs shown we have had a blast!

The brand new generator!

Until all of ur win photos come from this past weekend enjoy these few candids!

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!
