Haven’t posted much lately and maybe I will sum up summer at the end of the week but i definitely wanted to post this today. Yesterday Avery and I drove out to Long Island at 5:30am for the two shows in one day Suffolk County KC show in Old Westbury. For reference the previous year Avery and Moses finished their championship on the Sunday (Westbury KC) of this little circuit of shows.
It was rainy and cool and when we pulled up to the new location we noticed that instead of being outdoors it was in like a metal pavilion with rubber floors. The flooring was a little awkward at first but it was nice to not be out in the rain.
First show we both got select which was a little bit of a downer in a small show but it is what it is.
Waiting for the afternoon show. And knowing we had a long drive back you wonder is it even worth it but you stay and enjoy the company. So I worked with Avery and Moses to fix some of the mistakes from the am show.
Delayed start and when we finally got in the ring
Avery and Moses showed beautifully and were awarded best of breed. Select for me and Ginger again no love for doggy bi***es but all good. So we wait for group. Again a long day Avery looks at me and says she wants a placement but would rather not a first placement again so she doesn’t need to stay for Best In show. Well don’t you know it they go in and I am watching the judge and I am saying myself they way she kept looking at Moses “she’s going to give them first”. That’s what she did. Avery and Moses took a Hound Group One! We were thrilled. Of course onto BIS it was a very competitive group of bis winners but they held their own and made us all proud. Icing on the cake the judge that awarded them Bow last year finishing his championship got to see them this year get the group one she was so happy and proud. So Moses is now Group winning Ch Avelyn Into the Promise Land. Thank you to Judge Sylvia T Barkey for the breed and group win and Suffolk County KC for the lovely rosette, prizes and the location.
Couldn’t be more proud as a grandma and breeder. What an amazing team.
We got home at 9pm last night. Today we rest.
