Back from the weekend of showing in Madison, OH - a venue I love dearly, right on Lake Erie. Despite the heat and last minute shuffles to accomodate recalcitrant motor coaches, I had a great time with Mary Cummings and Robert Hallead.
To summarize the week of showing . . .
13" CH WG Cady (WG Blink x WG Turley) was moved up and made her debut as my 13" Special this weekend. Each day, she was Select for a major and champions defeated. She is well on her way to her GCH. Cady is a Dexter and Link granddaughter.
13" WG Lyra (WG Maya x Xavier) was a super star going BoV from the puppy classes Saturday under judge Ken Chuah from Malaysia and Sunday under Michael Canalizo. She is now CH White Gloves Lure Of The Siren, pending AKC confirmation. She will be Mary's 13" Special.
15" WG Siren (WG Maya x Xavier) earned her first major and just needs one more and a few singlea to finish.
15" WG Taft (WG Maya x Xavier) finished on a major and pending AKC confirmation is CH White Gloves Fat Man In The Bathtub. Thank you Joan Wurst for bringing home the bacon on Taft!!
15" GCHB WG Vincent (WG Portia x Xavier) was BoV every day earning more breed points and made a great cut in a big, competitive Hound Group on Saturday. Mary Cummings has really bonded with him and they are an amazing team - he just lights up for her and it's showing.
15" GCHS Stryker (WG Maya x JJ) was Select dog each day earning more points towards his GCHG. He is such a pleasure to have and show.
15" GCH WG Lucie (WG Blink x WG Turley) was BoS or Select each day, showing beautifully under Robert's guidance and earning more points towards her GCHB.
Many, many thanks to all who helped us wrangle Beagles this weekend - especially Joan E. Wurst who had her own dogs to show and kindly jumped in to take pups back in.
Also, huge thanks to Robert and Mary for all of their fun, friendship and great handling of all my dogs. Couldn't do it without ya!
