Chelsea and Tex were a great team before. Mike and Karen’s training and conditioning was the icing on the cake, and Chelsea loved showing him this weekend.

After 7 months away from her, he did not skip a beat and picked up right where he left off! On their first day back in the ring at the inaugural Hound Association of Northern California specialty Tex won BOV (15 inch) under judge Robin Riel, Owner-Handled Hound Group 2nd under judge Stephen Cabral and a cut in a packed hound group under judge Bryan Martin

On Saturday, Tex wins his second BOV today under judge Eugene Blake and topped off the day with Owner-Handled Hound Group 1st under judge Lori L Nelson

On Sunday, Tex wins Best in Specialty Show at the Stockton Beagle Club under judge Stephen Cabral among a wonderful entry Tex also won Best of Variety this morning and onto Owner-Handled Reserve Best in Show under judge Lori L Nelson. And finally, he capped off the night by winning Bred-By Exhibitor Best in Show under judge David Salcido!!!

I mean – does it get much better than this?? <3 I am such a proud owner and breeder of this fabulous dog.
