We had an incredible time at the 2025 IHCUS National Specialty! All 3 dogs got to be involved this year and we had an action packed week.
Starting with Json, he was only entered in AKC and ASFA Lure Coursing. He made it clear that he doesn't want to play show dog anymore, so we nixed the triathlon for him. On Monday Json was 3rd in his AKC specials stake for a few more points towards his LCX3. He is now over 80% of the way there! Json also won the Performance Stake! On Tuesday, Json was 1st in the ASFA Field Champion stake and lost BOB by just one point! Json also won the ASFA performance stake! This puts him halfway to his LCM in just 9 days of running! Next up is Hattie! She was entered in AKC and ASFA Lure Coursing as well as Dual Titled Sweeps (with Co-Owner Baylie), Maturity, the National, Hound show, Sleepover Specialty, and both supported entries over the weekend. This is the most Hattie has ever shown and she did so well! She enjoyed showing and handled all the in/out of the crate like a pro! Hattie was just out of the points for both AKC and ASFA, though she showed me some beautiful moments! She is just 3 months out of her first season, and she looked great! While we didn't meet our goals in showing, she showed better and better every time in the ring and I couldn't ask for more from her! At 20 months Hattie is just 5pts, 1 major, and 1 champion defeat away from her Grand Championship. She's also just 3 singles away from her FC/DC! Last but certainly not least, Fable. I didn't quite realize all that I had signed him up for, but he rose to the occasion like it was nothing! Fable was entered in AKC/ASFA Lure Coursing, Triathlon, Dual Titled Sweeps, Rally (Excellent and Advanced), and the National (for a junior to show). Fable had a grand time assisting with QC's before field cheating his way around both the AKC and ASFA courses. Fable showed well in both the Triathlon conformation judging and in Dual Titled sweeps. Our first Rally run (Excellent) went poorly. The judge had some lovely things to say about Fable, but told me I needed to get myself sorted out. Fable and I turned things around with a 99 in Advanced B and our first High In Trial! In the second rally trial, Fable was getting tired, but still gave me his all to earn an 88 and 95 to get his first High Combined award! Finishing on his 99 Rally Advanced B score, Fable won the 2025 IHCUS National Triathlon by nearly 11pts! After some brief instructions, Fable was off with his new junior friend for the National! They looked so so good together and I'm glad Fable and his new friend had fun! The judge had kind things to say about him after the show as well, which means so much! I am beyond proud of my crew! Win or lose, I get to bring the 3 best dogs home with me!
