Lake Elmo Regional Specialty

August 26, 2011 It was a beautiful day in Lake Elmo, MN today for the Twin Cities Regional Specialty. Our host Club was very gracious as always. Being a Specialty, there was a Sweepstakes event. Ava and Velma (on left) had to compete head to head, and Velma ended up winning 12-18 mos., and with Best of Opposite! In the regular classes, Cuervo and Maliboo were chosen as Select Dog and Bitch. This should be the last of 3 majors needed toward 'Boo's Grand Champion title. Cuervo came home with me today, but everyone else is sticking around for the rest of the weekend. Hopefully the good weather and ribbons continue!

Water trial

August 13, 2011 Fabulous weather for the Jr. and Apprentice dogs this morning at the Chicago Club water trial in Sterling Lake, IL. Julie and Maliboo decided to go all out and enter both classes. Boo was 1st on the line this morning and passed Junior with flying colors. Long hours later, she was the last Apprentice dog and came soooo close - over time on the float line. They should be ready next time! Amanda and Trevi, a Helen son, were in Junior at their first ever PWD event. In true PWD fashion, Trevi got the zoomies once too often - didn't pass, but had a REALLY good time:)
Meanwhile, Ava was competing at a show in Cudahy where she went Winner's Bitch. She'll be in Lake Elmo, MN later this month, looking for a 2nd major.
