It is my first time being on the road and staying away from home during a dog show – the Portland Rose classic is a big 4 day All-breed show. Its fun to play around in the Best of Breed ring as we try to garner points towards our Grand CH title.
Over the weekend we got Select 2x and went Best of Opposite 2x which equates to 4 more points towards our title. Wahoo!
What a fun start to the Western Washington cluster with a Select win and best owner Handler in breed under judge Lou Guerrero
We like to take our dogs everywhere we go (if we can). On this gorgeous wintery day, we went hiking at the beautiful Snoqualmie Falls and Maddy and Arrow came with us 🙂
My friend Alisha took a photo of Miss Maddy at the Whidbey Island Kennel Club this weekend – love this little girl. We picked up Select bitch both days and 2 majors towards our Grand CH title.
Happy Happy 1st Birthday Stella (Kazuri’s When you wish upon a star). I remember the day you were born – all 5 oz of you. You had a slow start, but you made up with it quickly being 1 pound on day 8. You were always a clown and a delight to have in the house. We are so blessed you found your forever home with Michelle & Mike, Olivia, Jericho, Gracie and Marley. xoxo
Getting Best of Breed is an honor. Once you are the best in your breed, you get to show against the best in breed in all the other breeds in your group.
For beagles, they are a hound and so go back into the ring with the best of breeds such as Afgans, Deerhounds, Bassets, Dachshunds, Whippets, Greyhounds….well you get the idea. 🙂 There are a lot of amazing dogs in the same ring.
Well today, Maddy got 4th place in Hound group – how exciting for us!! We are well on our way to our Canadian CH title.
I think Maddy quite likes the hotel life while showing in Canada. Ha!
We have started working on Maddison’s Canadian CH title while we wait for her to be old enough to finish her health clearances in 2016. September 26/27th we had a great time at the Mount Cheam Kennel Club meet in Chiliwack getting Best of Opposite in Beagles (thank you judge Satoshi Bessho) and group 4 in our 12-18 month class (thank you judge Maxine Moinier) on the Saturday. We took Best of Breed (thank you judge Takahiro Miyagawa) on Sunday.
Arrow and Maddy are besties and sleep like this every day. I cant help but think Arrow must think she is a beagle after all
Our beagles come with us everywhere – even on the Seattle Monorail. We love that we can take our dogs anywhere and everywhere 🙂
