It was a fun, if not hot, and steamy show this afternoon with the Friendly Rabbit Club in Galesville WI. I was so hot I forgot to pick up my placement prizes
We had some nice placements, and I was most pleased with a lot of positive comments. Work in TSW in any breed is a very challenging endeavor, but add thwt to Aby or Teddy it seems even harder to get a good one. I am so pleased about how the programs are turning out.
I especially enjoy my travel partner and good friend, Rachel Boucher who makes my trips and shows so much more interesting.
Show A was Judge Todd Naragon: Best in Show was Kevin Brown with a Int Dalmatian sow. Reserve in Show was Shannon Heinritz with a Broken Teddy (i covet this teddy) Honorable Mention was Rachel Boucher Pink Eye Cream American sow.
Show B with Zach Sauer: Best in Show was Shannon Heinritz Broken Teddy, 1st Reserve was Jennifer Langreck White American. 2nd Reserve was Rachel Boucher Pink Eye Cream American Sow.
We had 2 Best of Breed Abyssinian with Pig Squeeks Show The World aka: Gusto. Bred by Dawn Gallagher So many great comments by both judges on his clarity of patching and distribution.
Priceless Farms In a Pickle Aka: Gherkin was Best Junior of Breed 2x. Again, I received excellent comments on the TSW clarity of patching, and she has a very promising coat. She lacks in white but makes up for the patching definition.
Also wanted to give some love to Ploeger Farms Merida. With such a fast moving, humid, and hot show, the longhaired exhibitors dont get a long time to primp and display the coats. She was beat out by a far better, but older male. By age, she's only an Intermediate. But by weight, she's 2 oz over Senior weight. Which means she doesn't have a senior coat yet. We will just keep plugging on and see where her coat takes us.
