Paducah KY dog show 2012
We traveled a little over two hours this weekend to this year's Paducah Kennel Club's annual dog show. It's held in the middle of nowhere, in the middle of an old corn field with absolutely no shade. It's always in June and it mostly alway's hotter'n (well you know). This year however is was relatively plesant with a nice breeze even thrown in. We camped in the Papillon Motel (our luxurious pop up camper) next to several of our very good dog show friends. We had a short but very enjoyable trip !!!
Since Mimi finished her Grand Championship last month, she got to stay home with the pet sitter this weekend. I don't think she understood why she had to stay home. She's been going to the shows for three years now. I don't know if she's gonna like retirement... lol.
Anyway, we just took Kix and Duke to the show this weekend. It felt funny just showing boys and not having any girls to show. Both Kix and Duke won second place in their respective classes on Saturday. Duke won "best papillon puppy" in the B match Saturday afternoon, got a group 1 in the Toy Group and got to go back in for Best in Show. We just wanted to enter him in the match to try to improve his table work and he ended up trying to show out. On Sunday Kix got third place in his class. Duke was entered in the 6 - 9 puppy class on Saturday and due to the way his birthday fell we had to bump him up to the 9 - 12 class on Sunday. Duke was the only entry in the 9 - 12 puppy class on Sunday. Duke showed very well and to our suprise managed to get the nod from the judge for Winners Dog for his very first points ( and a THREE POINT MAJOR to boot).
I'll try to take a more recent photo of him and get it onto the Blog. He's changed a bunch since the pictures here.
More later ... Yall stay tuned.
