Vanda's Debut Weekend…


  • Oh bless her, puppies should be puppies, I wouldn't expect a little baby that age to show like a pro. :) Good luck with her.


  • Thanks Nemo,

    Im really not worried about what they do in the ring, while in the Baby class. They are there to get the feel of what all this showing 'stuff' is all about, hopefully :D. Im happy if they just come out of it having a great day, lots of socialising etc, etc, etc :)

    What really amused me was the way that she knew all this stuff, then about Tues last week, she suddenly decided that she had NO CLUE what I wanted her to do, and she decided that she was going to run as fast as she can back to the judge… I took her to Puppy Training on the Wed, and the teacher jokingly asked me if I had done ANY work with her at all :o:o. She was a horror, she was acting like I had never even had a lead on her. She tried to jump off the table, so the teacher and I both did acrobatic moves to catch her, thankfully we both caught her :o:o. It was really embarassing, and I asked the teacher to take her home for me, and I will see her at the Royal, all trained... Sadly she refused my offer :confused::confused::D:D

    I dream of baby puppy pro, but I havent managed to cook one like that yet :):)


  • Hey that's great :D! Many congrats for Little Vanda :cool:!
    I remember Masai's first and second show. At first he was only one in baby class so we won that but his presentation wasn't dazzling. And second show was really terrible for me :D. He was with another two boys in baby class and got 3rd place. He jumped and pulled on the leash. In stack he was the best but judge prefered moving. So we had a 3rd place and it was that moment when I decided I want 1st place :D. A little bit training and results of endeavour are here :D.

    Many congrats once again :)!


  • Congratulations Saba and Vanda :)


  • Fantastic result…congrats Saba & Vanda...:D:D

  • Houston

    I think it sounds like she did great, all things considered..she is a pup after all.
    Huge congrats for the first show wins and jitters being over with..now on to the next one..
    Did you get any pics..?


  • WooHoo.. that is super… congrats!!!! And yes, regardless of the judges idea... a baby puppy class should be FUN for them.. even if they act like they have never been on a leash in their entire "short" life... :-)


  • Way to go and you did so nicely.

  • Well, Miss Vanda has had her next 2 shows, and whilst she didnt win any classes in group, she did perform quite well, and she was best baby of breed both days :). At the second show, the judge had some nice words about her, so I was happy…

    Got the Royal Hobart Show tomorrow, and Im really looking forward to that. Will let you know how she goes :D

  • Houston

    Good going Miss Vanda, I can't wait to see how it went..

    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
