Well, we started our New Year dog show season this weekend. It's back to work for the dogs, vacation is over !!! We took Kix, Mimi, and Duke down to Starkville MS for the Golden Triangle Kennel Club of Mississippi dog show. We had to compete against handlers this weekend and my heart always sinks when that happens. The odds of our little Country Dogs doing well against handlers is greatly diminished. We always have fun non the less having fun with our many friends (that's what it's all about anyway ). Anyway, we didn't get any points on our dogs this time. Maybe next time ... oh well.
Duke got to actually go inside the building this time. He has gone to the dog show one other occasion but we kept him in the camper during the show. He hadn't had all of his shots at that time and we didn't want to risk him getting sick. He was entered in the Puppy B match on Saturday. We were interested in seeing how he would react to all the other dogs and noises. He took everything in stride and it didn't seem to bother him at all. He even walked very well on his leash.
Duke won Best of Breed in his "B" match over 4 or 5 other puppies and won a Group 3 in the Toy Group. Way to go Little Man. You saved the weekend.
Now he just needs to grow some coat and some britches to cover those gangly legs.... :)
