Wallen earned a Puppy of Achievement award! In order to earn a puppy of achievement award they have to get 10 points before they are a year old. These points are not points towards their championship but a different set of points that are earned in competing in 4-6 beginner puppy competitions by winning BOB, BOS, Group 1, or BIS in 4 - 6 beginner puppy or winning their class from the puppy classes in a regular conformation show. Wallen is my first dog to get a Puppy of Achievement award.

I will admit, he was very uncooperative for his picture even when baited with a squirrel 😂

Wanted to get a picture in front of the cowboy statue yesterday but just ran out of time. So today I took photos of the dogs’ accomplishments from yesterday.
Of course it started raining 😂 but the show must go on & a little bit of rain never killed anyone (right?)

Multi BIOS Akiyama No Roushya Kaichou Go CA BCAT TKN ATT FITB “Brently” with her Best in Open Show ribbon. This is her 3rd BIOS.

Boomlay’s Tennessee Tipsy STR TKN “Wallen” with his Bred by Group 1 (default but still proud). Won BOB bred by, BOBOH, & Winners dog for a point.

UKC CH Boomlay’s Truth Is Karma Don’t Lie RN CA DCAT CGC TKN ATT FITB “Delilah” with her BOB ribbon (as my mom handled her).

But the real win for me was when an older lady asked if Wallen was a Shiba & stood there reminiscing about her Shiba. Now Wallen is usually pretty wild, but he was so good, he stood on his hindlegs to say hi. She couldn’t bend over to pet him, but he leaned into her so she could hug him the best she could. She explained how he made her day, that he reminded her of her Shiba, & how much she missed her Shiba.

My friend texted me there was a rainbow outside. Don’t think I didn’t run out there to find it & grab the dogs for a photo

I don’t really share too much about me personally here because to be honest, I’m not as cool, exciting, or as cute as my dogs. But I realized something yesterday on my birthday. I turned 32 years old. I’ve been showing dogs since I was 16. My 32nd year on this planet marked that I spent HALF of my life being involved with dogs! It’s absolutely mind boggling.
But I wanted to share some doggy accomplishments I have achieved in 16 years.
Showed a Shiba named Beni at the Grand National & placing (2016)
Got an article published in the AKC Gazette in 2022
Had Nekora get on the news to promote the AKC Meet the Breeds in 2022. I was also in charge of the booth.
Have the first Shiba to get the FCAT title (Nekora) in 2018.
Had Delilah score a 97 on a novice rally trial earning her the 2021 NSCA (National Shiba Club of America) Outstanding Rally Novice award.
Have 3 Shiba get awarded the NSCA versatile award.
Was the first person to be awarded the NSCA Educator’s award in 2023.
Guided Brently to 2 Best in Open shows, Astrid to a UKC reserve Best in show, & a UKC reserve best in show puppy.
Won Winner B*tch at a regional specialty for a major with my first show dog Chi, a Samoyed.
Got Nekora’s AKC championship & Grand Championship as an owner handler, including 4 majors for her Championship, & a regular group 4 as a class entry.
Been to Japan not once, but 4 times, my last trip was for 89 days! All thanks to dog connections.
Never had a man love me back but have had the privilege of having 6 dogs love me with their entire soul.

Last but not least - Wallen. My problem, wild child who knows no chill, just go go go. The prince of chaos and testing boundaries, literally a male version of Delilah. The universe said you barely survived the first, here’s a second 😂😅 He 100% lives up to his namesake which maybe I cursed us both with 💀😂
This little boy LOVES to show, so much so that he yips outside the ring until he goes in & when I took Delilah in without him he SCREAMED like he was being murdered. Once his brain matures a bit, he’ll definitely be a force to be reckoned with, even though he is black & tan.

PS. Yeah that boy can jump. Sadly it’s his default setting 😂

I only got movement photos of Delilah from Kayes Media . She’s matured into a great show dog, shame Black & Tans aren’t given more weight in the show ring.
Delilah is from my first ever litter, I use to think she inherited none of her mother’s grace but as she’s getting older, there’s a smidgen of it showing up. 😂 Her son has taken over as wild child who tests my patience daily, literally following his mother’s pawsteps 🙃

Nekora strutting her stuff at the veterans attraction at the Tampa show. I can’t believe she’s 11 years old 😭 She keeps up with the younger dogs, just at her own slow pace 😂 She’s always up for an adventure and is the best adventure buddy. She had a blast showing her little heart out, look at her hamming it up. We’ll keep showing in veterans as long as she’s able to.

Fun fact - Nekora was the first Shiba Inu to get the FCAT title.

While no dog is perfect, I cannot thank Leslie of LeSand/Akakiyosou Shiba enough for not only giving me my start with good structured (& tempered) dogs but taking the time to educate me about structure & opening my eyes to it.

While Wallen is a goofy 10 month old puppy, I am happy with how he is maturing. Thank you Krissy of Coquina Shiba Inu for letting me use Angus for Delilah so I can keep on going with well structured (& tempered) dogs. Three generations in merged into one picture. Photos were at the Tampa Shows by Kayes Media . Don’t worry, full photos to come, but I wanted to make this little combination piece because it makes me happy.

From the AKC standard:
Gait: Movement is nimble, light, and elastic. At the trot, the legs angle in towards a center line while the topline remains level and firm. forward reach and rear extension are moderate and efficient.
