2015 wrap up

I know I have been awful and didn't give you up to the minute details the last two months of the year but I will tell you 2015 was a great year for #teamriverview

11 new titles over 25,000 miles and countless memories.

I will try to keep you more informed in 2016 but no promises.

Rundown of October

Yes, we have been out showing and yes I have been bad about updating you on where we are and what we are doing.  Seems its hard to keep up with #teamriverview these days.

Thank you Lori Reuter for the photo

It was a busy fun filed week with the team showing 16 dogs.

Enjoying the top 20 gala with friends

All the girls showed fabulous but none of them made the cut.

Rifle made the cut in BOB

The boys did well with Gentry ending up 5th in the 6-9 class.

Gentry owned by Candace Miller

Andy picked up the biggest win by far taking WD for a huge 5 points!  It was a dream come true. Congrats to everyone involved!

Being awarded WD from breeder judge Bernadette Cox

The WD trophy

Leslie thinks we may have to make the trip to CA next year but time will tell.

We are sad to say this was Kelsey's last show with us for awhile.  She is going to go pursue other ventures but she will join us again in Florida come December.  We wish her the best!

For now we prepare for the next 7 weeks of shows before the year is out and bringing a new truck home to start 2016 in!

Resting after a long week

Pinehurst, NC

We headed back to the south to Pinehurst, NC for 3 days of shows.  It had been years since we had attended these shows because of bad weather in the past but this year the weather was beautiful and we had lots of fun.  Leslie only brought goldens this trip so that was change of pace for everyone. The gang met up with Amy and her 3 pooches and had a very successful trip!

Sorry, I'm having problems getting photos to upload but hopefully soon the problem will be resolved.

We were getting ready to watch BIS and a light exploded and caught fire.  We quickly had to get all of the dogs out and back in the truck so the Fire Department could check to see what was going on.  Once everything calmed down we watched BIS under the cobblestone pavilion.  Never a dull moment at dog shows!

Have a great labor day!
