We're off…


  • Well, not quite yet, but soon. Just getting ready now to give Keoki a pre-show bath, then we're heading out after lunch for the EBC show in Auburn this afternoon. We have to give plenty of travel time due to unpredictable but seemingly constant road construction on I-5.

    Keoki has never been tested – Bryan couldn't make it over to give him a trial work-out as one of their pups is ill -- so he's going into the ring as green as they come. Should be verrrrry interesting. LOL We'll see if this is a "what a good boy!" day or a "Geez, you're full of piss and vinegar today" day.

    By this evening I'll either be a proud mama pointing and saying "That's MY boy!" ,:D or I'll be staring into the ring in horror saying aloud, "Wow, whose puppy is THAT?" :eek: hee hee


  • Good luck and good showing! More importantly, have fun!:)


  • Lots of luck!!!!!!!!!


  • Good luck, and have fun!


  • Keoki did fairly well today, he did stop and appear to pose in the middle of the ring for a stranger w/a camera. Bryan had to coax him as he appeared to want to stand and really study that lady. It was cute…. onlookers giggled.:)

    He got 3rd :D out of I think 6. His brother Bandit {a lovely little tri-boy} got 2nd.:)

    You must come :D, judge will be Jon Curby. It could be very exciting experience :cool:. There are over 50 Bs last years, many exhibitors are coming from abroad. Thinking about that ;).

    Great article, I could have done with some of the lightweight clothing while climbing Pan Y Fan and Corn Du (Brecon Beacons) last week. We are just back from a week in Wales and we took in the show.

    In the US, for AKC Championship your dog needs a total of 15 points with 2 major wins. Points go from 1 to 5pts, with 3,4 and 5 being considered major point wins. Points are assigned by groups of areas or large states, such as California is one area. Here is a link to AKC with the detailed explanation http://www.akc.org/events/conformation/counting_points.cfm

    @youngandtired: To me that expression in the first pic looks like he is saying, "What's up everyone this is a piece of Cake! I love these pictures, and I can't believe how he has grown, seems like just yesterday you were posting pictures of your new puppy. He is very handsome, and I love the stacking. How do you teach them to do that!!!!! I would love to teach Sahara that only b/c I love the look, not to show her, I just think it looks so cool. Thanks, and yes – it does seem like just yesterday dh had that weak moment and let me bring another B home. ;) Stacking w/mine has been pretty easy. I do it just like I teach them to sit, etc. I hold a treat and tell them to "stand", and put my hand under the belly to keep them from sitting, tell them "good stand" and give the treat. Once they "get" that, I tell them to "hold" and keep them at a stand for a few seconds -- if they move their legs, I move the legs back and say "hold" again. Once they "get" that, I tell them "hold" and move their legs back a bit into position, telling them "hold". Really, only takes about twenty minutes total to get them to understand "hold".
