Kane has been having a great summer!
We are super proud of the recognition he has received the last couple of months🥰

In July, at the GSPCC Regional Specialty Show on Vancouver Island, he was awarded Best of Opposite S*x.
A couple weeks later he finished his Water Dog Junior title at the BCABPC water tests!💦

In August, we showed Kane at the GSPCC National Specialty Show, the Westwind Sporting Dog Specialty, and the 4 days of Alberta Kennel Club all breed shows in Okotoks, AB.
We are truly proud of Kane for winning Best of Opposite S*x and Best Pointing Dog at the 2025 National!!🥳🎊🥂
Kane made the cut at the Westwind Specialty - in the thunder and downpour rain!⛈ At the all breed, he made the cut Friday and was Select Dog on both Saturday and Sunday. Monday he was awarded Best of Opposite!
We were so pleased with all the great candid photos of Kane from this trip that we got them all🤩 (unfortunately his National win photo did not turn out)

Next stop, hunting season🧡

Last week we attended the Vancouver Island Dog Fanciers / Victoria City Kennel Club shows - our dogs and their owners made us very proud! We had a lot of fun🥳🍾🥂

Mabel topped the week by winning the Sporting Group 4 out of the 5 days - with a Reserve Best In Show!!! - plus a Group 2nd, and Best In Specialty Show at the GSPCC Regional💙🤍❤️

Lukas and Tillie both earned points towards their Championships! Lukas also enjoyed taking a spin in Juniors with his new friend Rowan🥰

Nootka (Select at the Specialty), Vinci and Sparkle all earned points towards their Grand Championships! Tia and Oaklee looked great😍

Kane (BOS at the Specialty) and Kestrel (AOM at the Specialty) earned points towards their Grand Championship Bronze’s!

Sapphire, the English Cocker, earned points towards her Championship!

🪶🪶🪶
We also enjoyed attending the 2-day “Under the Gun” seminar by sporting specialist and Judge Frank Kane (UK) following the show.
Vinci and Nootka were used as field demo dogs for the pointing breeds and had a ball (despite the cooking hot weather!). Mick, Kestrel and Sapphire were used as conformation demo dogs for their breeds.
It was a fantastic seminar!
