So we had a great time in Ladysmith and I know I didn’t update this as I always plan. I opted not to go to Friday’s show, but here is most of our ribbons, wins, legs and new titles from Thursday, Saturday and Sunday!

A herding Group 1st and 2nd place
And topped it off with today’s Reserve Best Total Dog in Show!!!!!

Tequila and Whiski had a good but hot day at Ladysmith UKC show. Tequila tried Steeple chase for the first time and got a qualifying run and then went on to win the Grand Champion class in Show 1 for a Total Dog Award. Whiski won the Champion class and then took Best of Breed and Group 2 in a very nice quality herding group in show 1. She now has her second leg towards her grand.
In the second show, Whiski won the champion class again and Tequila took Reserve Grand. No love in the breed ring.
Two girls bathed, blown out and ready to run around the ring for a few days! 🎉🎉🎉 Wish us luck!
Whiski and Squish
Whiski is not about to be shown up by her sister Tequila in glamor shots. Here is the little sister, Whiski and one of sQuish.
Whiski won Reserve Champion in Friday and Saturday’s shows in Kalamazoo at Premier Nationals and Champion of Champion on Sunday for her first leg towards her Grand. She just turned a year old 10 days prior! I love this little spunky spitfire! She has a lot going for her and I can’t wait to see her future! Phenomenal photo Malinda Julien!!!

Here are the results!
Wednesday: German Shepherd specialty put on by the Great Lakes German Shepherd Club. This was not our show to win anything, however, it did give my girls a show to get their wiggles out. Which turned out to be a win for us.
Thursday: Top Ten Competition for the 2023 Top Ten of each breed. Tequila received an Award of Excellence and we are very pleased.
Friday, Saturday and Sunday were all breed shows. Tequila was entered in all three in the Grand Champion class and Whiski competed in the Champion Class. Tequila won reserve Grand Champion in all three shows out of a class of 8. Whiski took Reserve Champion in Friday and Saturday and then won Champion on Sunday for her first Champion leg. Tequila also competed in DASH to qualify for Total Dog on Saturday Night. They must get qualifying runs in a performance event on Friday and then a placement in Conformation on Saturday. Over 200 dogs met the requirements for Total dog and those then all compete for Best Total Dog in Show.
Overall this was an awesome week with so many compliments and wins! The first three photos were take by Jen Thompson. Thanks Jen!
Professional photos to come!!!

Can anyone see Tequila, the third dog, at the beginning of this video before she bolts? It’s always about ganging up in the baby! 🤣🤣🤣
Females available from our V litter. PM right away if you want to get on the reservation list. Both parents health tested. Offspring from previous litters of this breeding pair are gorgeous! Would like to get the last couple reservations ASAP. Don’t wait!
Ultra is holding these babies hostage and they look like they have their pitchforks ready and trying to get out!!!!!
Big brother Ace checkin in on the pups! He just loves them just like his daddy. So caring and concerned.
Sorry, but I may enlighten you all with baby pics and videos this weekend! Not really sorry! DM if you want to get on the list!
Got a late-nighter! ❤️ (I should clarify... one of the pups is staying up late... Vodka and I are going to bed). Pups just might arrive in the next day or two though. Getting close.
