Papillon National Specialty 2011

New Champion -- Lawood's Crusin' In Harms Way

(Cruiser)

Cruiser got to go to the Papillon National Specialty to participate in the Parade of Champions. This is for dogs who finished their AKC conformation championships in 2011. They get to parade in the ring solo while a brief synopsis is read about them. Very nice ... Way to go Cruiser !!!

Brooke

Brooke showed very well this week. She finished fourth in the 12 - 18 month old Puppy Sweep and made the cut in the conformation show on Thursday just out of the ribbons.

Way to go Brooke !!!

Kix

This was Kix's first REAL show. He's only barely seven months old. He's been to several shows just to get him used to the hustle and bustle and he's been in one puppy B match but that's about the extent of his ring experience. We were prepared to be happy if he just didn't try to bite the judge!!! Kix did an excellent job. He won first place in his class in puppy sweeps and got to go back in for "best puppy". He didn't get best puppy, but we were thrilled by how well he did. (Plus he won money and paid for our Prime Rib supper that night) and yes we saved him some.

It rains on our Parade .... Again

Well we're at the Papillon National Specialty in Chattanooga TN this week and we're having a super good time when Tuesday we get a call from my sister in law saying that the recent storms has blown down several trees in the yard and two huge oaks are across the drive way. Well Great !!! So we have a big clean up job to look forward to when we get back home.

Now where's my chain saw ?????
