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.:)

    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

    @tanza: Great video… she looks good and typically "puppy"...gggg One pointer for you, when trying to move her front legs on the table, move from the elbow instead of mid/lower leg... she is less likely to pull it away from you.... Thanks for that! Will try that next time :D And yes the breed ring was tiny, and Maya (when she actually gets going) has such a long stride and trots out quite fast so it wasnt ideal. But better than being out in the rain :) Thanks for all the nice comments.
