This weekend we travelled to Kentucky to attend our first Kentuckiana Cluster! The show is massive and I'm so proud of how well Hattie handled herself! Hattie was RWB to the major on Friday, WB for a 4pt major on Saturday, and RWB to the major on Sunday! Fable also got to show with a new person for the first time. We have realized that it's not his thing.
Hattie had a lovely weekend showing in TN! She was WB both days and BOBOH today! Hattie now has 9pts and a major towards her AKC Championship!
Friday morning Hattie showed beautifully, placing second behind her sister, Kelce. That evening, we got together for the inaugural IHCUS Sleepover Specialty! It was a ton of fun and Hattie was a trooper throughout! My onesie was quite warm but we did avoid Hattie actually removing the tail . We had a great time but no love in WB.
Saturday, we had a late ring time (what even are those?!) which was good as I was still tired from the night before. When it was finally our turn in the ring Hattie was so good! She won her class, went WB for a 5pt major (her first points!), BOW, and BOBOH under judge Mrs. June A Penta! Mrs. Penta was also the judge that gave Fable the last major he needed to finish, so it was extra sweet! I had barely set down our prizes when a friend was kind enough to let me know that the OH Hound Group was starting. We made it to the ring just in time. Hattie had a blast in the group ring and loved all the support! I couldn’t believe it when judge JC Boulinguez selected us for OH Group 4! I’m so so proud of my baby girl! At just 8 months and 2 days old, Hattie is now major pointed and OH Group placing! Many thanks to both judges for finding my girl in such quality entries! Sunday Hattie showed beautifully and was RWB to the major to close out our Nationals! This weekend we travelled to Conway, AR to spend some time with Hattie's breeder and co-owners. Fable was entered in the breed ring and Hattie was entered in Beginner puppy with her sister. Fable ended up taking Select/BOBOH both days, though he showed unlike himself. Hattie was the star winning BOB and Group 1 both days! She was an absolute rockstar! So proud of her!
We headed out to Fayetteville, AR for this year's Beezer Bash! Fable showed Friday and Saturday, and both boys ran ASFA on Friday and both days of AKC Lure Coursing Saturday and Sunday.
Fable showed well both days but didn't place in a deep quality entry. He showed happily and moved well. Both boys ran well on Friday, taking 3rd (Json) and 4th (Fable). Fable also won the performance stake! During the weekend trials Fable helped QC one of the ridgebacks and then continued to run well with Fable placing 5th and Json just out of the ribbons on Saturday. On Sunday Json placed 3rd and Fable just out of the ribbons. Hattie had so much fun hanging out and meeting everyone. She even got to do a puppy bump! Json is on a roll! We travelled to Perry, GA for the Honeysuckle Cluster where we were entered Saturday and Sunday. On Saturday Json was WD. Sunday Json won WD and BOW for the crossover major to finish his AKC Championship and AKC Dual Championship! Json is the second dog I've finished a CH/DC on and I'm so proud of him!
We travelled to Fayetteville, AR this past weekend for 3 days of shows and 2 days of Lure Coursing and we had a stellar weekend! Json was WD all 3 days and BOW 2 days. On Saturday Json was WD/BOW/BOS/BOBOH over a top winning special! Json earned 5pts this weekend to bring him to 13pts and 1 major! The boys had a great time coursing too! The numbers didn't fall in Json's favor this time, but Fable placed 5th both days for some Bowen points. Json also showed in OH group on Saturday and did phenomenally even after coursing and got a long look by the judge, though we didn't place. I'm so proud of Json for how he handled his longest weekend yet of showing and coursing! Fable as always was a trooper and handled everything like a pro
We went to Lawrenceville, GA for the Lake Lanier Cluster. Json was entered Saturday and Sunday in Open and was an absolute rockstar! Json earned 3 more points towards his championship this weekend! Saturday was wild with some intense thunderstorms rolling over the metal building we were in just before our ringtime. J handled all the noise and the ring starting to flood like a pro. After a break for some playtime and a nap we were back for OH groups. Json was tired but showed beautifully! He tried his heart out for me and I couldn't be more proud! Sunday was a beautiful day and J was still a hint tired but showed wonderfully! We are really coming together as a team and I'm excited for our next time in the ring!
What a weekend! We went out to Springfield, MO with Fable needing 4pts and a major to finish. Saturday Fable was reserve to the major. The major broke with WD finishing his CH, but the major in girls held. Today Fable went WD/BOW/BOBOH for a 4pt major to finish his championship! Json also did his best and was RWD on Sunday! Fable is my first show dog and first Field Champion. Now he’s also my first Champion and Dual Champion! Pending AKC Fable is now:
*CH* *DC* Kamars Free Your Mind TKA SC ACT1 RN BCAT NW1 FCh JSR ATT VC I am so incredibly thankful for all the folks who have helped us on this journey! We couldn’t have done it without all their help, support, and friendship! It was great to be able to reach this milestone in some great company this weekend! It’s been quite the journey but I am so glad I stayed the course! I’ve done all of Fable’s training and have handled him every moment in the ring. We have learned a lot. Many thanks to judge June Penta for our final major and points today and to all the judges who found and awarded my best moose baby! |
