Eukanuba 2012

12/16/12  ORLANDO  There were 3 Marshview dogs at the Eukanuba National Championship this year.  For the first time, they allowed class dogs (not just champions), so we sent our 11 month old puppy, Joey.  He was Best of Winners on Thursday, and Reserve Winners Dog on Sunday (sat out in between). 

His mother Maliboo showed beautifully, both Friday and Sunday. But Sawyer, GCH Marshview's River of the Gods, was Select Dog that day - beating out 4 class dogs and 13 fabulous champions! Quite a win for our 2 year old boy!

In between shows, 'Boo and Joey helped out at the Meet the Breeds booth.


Agility

12/1/12 Maliboo qualified for her 1st leg in AKC agility: 1st Place in Novice A Standard!  Woohoo Maliboo and Julie!  No photos from the Winnegamie trial, but just got this back, taken at the National Specialty in October.

Puppies

11/19/12 Puppies are on the way! Ava went in for an ultrasound today and confirmed that her breeding to "Nic" CH Seven Beauty's Saint Nicholas was successful. Puppies are due Dec. 20, 2012. We expect some nice show and performance pups!

Agility

Oshkosh 10/20/12  Helen has a new title!  We have been running Excellent Standard for awhile, but were languishing in Open Jumpers.  Our last trial had us slogging through rain and mud in Fond du Lac to no avail.  Cuervo was up first today and took down a bar.  When Helen's turn came, I gave her a better angle to that bar and she kept it up.  Still took her 2 attempts at the weave poles, but she did them! 2nd Place ribbon and her Open Jumper With Weaves title!  At the same trial, Barb Stanek and Trio got their Novice Standard title.  Good day for the girls!

National Specialty-Lake Geneva, WI

Sept. 29-Oct. 5, 2012 Fabulous Specialty held in beautiful Lake Geneva.  Since this National was only a few hours from home, we brought lots of dogs.  Here are the results:

9/29 Joey - Apprentice Water Dog title (at 8 months old!)
9/30 Maliboo - Working Water Dog title (in the chilly air and water)
10/1 Ruthie - 3rd Place in 7-9 yr Veteran Sweeps; Helen looked great too:)
        Joey - 1st Place in the 6-9 mo Sweeps in a class of 25 dogs
10/2 Maliboo/Joey/Blake - 3rd Place in Brood Bitch in a class of 15.
        Ruthie/Maliboo/Joey showed beautifully in the Breeder's Class
10/3 Joey - 1st Place in 6-9 mo Puppy Dog class (22 dogs)
10/4 Maliboo - 1st Place Working Bitch
10/5 Cuervo - made the cut in BOB among 79 male dogs.
All in all a great show!

Water

September 9-10 Noblesville, IN  Julie and Maliboo really clicked at this trial.  In this attempt at the Working Water Dog title, Maliboo lost her hesitation for jumping in the water to retrieve articles and they passed easily.  Julie was so confident that they repeated on Sunday, and passed again.  Yeah, Maliboo, who lived up to her name:  GrCH Marshview Out Ridin' The Waves RN WWD CGC. This team is going for a 3-peat at the National Specialty in Lake Geneva later this month.
