ihcus nationals - more conformation

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!
