Fun weekend for the BSK crew at Crackerbarrel Fairgrounds in Wrentham, MA. Always one of our favorite show clusters of the year!

Friday - S**o BOBOH in the OH Specialty hosted by Ladies Dog Club, Rip Select Dog at The New England Sporting Group Association Show #1 and show #2, Ziva WB NESGA show #1 and #2.

Saturday - Ziva, WB/BOW/BOB from the classes over some very nice specials.

Sunday - Ziva strikes again WB/BOW/BOB and her brother S**o BOS, a little sibling rivalry to end the weekend!

Pending AKC approval, Ziva is now CH Barrel Select’s American Sniper JH, finishing off her championship with two 5 pt majors, BOB from the classes.

Scoop showed beautifully in the Open class all weekend and her tail never stopped wagging.

And it was great to see some of our Nuke x Livee puppies out there in the 6-9 class, Chirp and Draco, having fun learning the game!

As always, it’s great to see our New England show family at this event! It’s always one of the best show clusters of the year thanks entirely to the hard work and dedication of the Ladies Dog Club and the New England Sporting Group Association.

Part of the BSK crew made the trip from CT to Louisville, KY this week for 3 of the 4 day cluster. We arrived early Friday morning with Whiskey our GWP, but decided to leave Envy our CBR special home (very important reason below…)

Happy to announce Ripsnorter’s Barrel Select Whiskey Sour JH JHR (Foster’s x Gracie) started off the show weekend in style, taking WD for a 5 PT major out a very nice class of dogs. Thank you to judge Mr Doug Starwood. It was a pleasure showing with Hadley, Whiskey’s breeder, today as she and Frankie took BW for their second 5 pt major of the weekend!!!

Big News for BSK…The BSK crew was joined this weekend by Sandbar’s Breaking News “Scoop” the newest addition to our crew. We couldn’t be happier adding her to our breeding girls and are thrilled Diane Baker has entrusted her to us and to carry on her pedigree. She is fitting right in…first night in the hotel! Thanks to Karlos Perez and Olivia Huston for delivering her from Illinois.

Part of the BSK crew went to our first Philadelphia KC National Dog Show weekend and had a wonderful time with old friends as part of the CBR supported entry and our GWP breeder, as well as making many new friends/acquaintances in this crazy (wonderful) dog show world!!! And the BSK representatives were a big hit with the public, enjoying the attention and affection.
