Congratulations Brenda & Denise! Beautiful dogs that can do it in the field and the show ring

Thanks! Never thought I'd get to meet Sam, so that's been cool. My photo doesn't do him justice.

Brandi and I had a long 4 day show weekend. It was torture, as my husband was camped out for the same 4 days at a friends training grounds, preparing our older dog for the UPT/UT. I'd have much rather been training than showing...and they made some good eats each night. Brandi got RWB on Friday and Saturday, with a major available. Sunday she got a 3 pt major and BOW. Today the major was broken by 2 no shows, but Brandi did get WB, BOW, and BOS over 2 Specials...and I'm told that with the 3 reg. class that will be worth 2 points. We've gone out 5 weekends, and I think we have 8 points now. Thank you Brenda & Rick for such a nice girl.

Now for the corny photos...

Brandi and I shared the lens at 8 o'clock this morning, before leaving for the show. Not quite sure how to read that look...


Well, I had promised Brandi I'd share a cheeseburger with her if she managed a major. Held up my end of the bargain this afternoon (after I no longer had to worry about her getting the trots ).


I had a professional photo taken yesterday, but that'll take a couple weeks to get back. So after the show today, I headed for the training grounds and asked my husband to take a couple. I got what I paid for, as every shot was crooked and he cut my head either partially or totally off. He also didn't tell me about my so-so stack and I think I might've been standing in a wind tunnel.


Then comes the best part, after I change my clothes and throw my jewelry on the dash--we're off to do a couple duck searches, and Brandi did terrific. PS--I know it looks icky, but that's just duckweed covering the pond.




Got home around 8pm and it was time to crash with her favorite guy, who she'd been missing for 4 days.

Cool pics Denise! Great job, esp doing it yourself!!! I just do not have the time or patience for it!! But it has to be very satisfying...Brandi probably figures her reward for doing all that was getting to do ducks! Sam would love it too, can't wait to get him back..Congrats again....

[Ricky Ticky Shorthairs]

Congrats Denise and Brandi. That's one heck of a nice pup.

[wems2371]

Thanks Doug! I think you got another good one on your hands.

Denise , Love the duck search photo. Will you test Roxi UT this fall?

Howie, you stir the pot. I have her signed up for UPT, but my husband is pushing for UT. I know what many think of the UPT, but I want to go for the test that we're most ready for...and he wants to push the limits and IMO hope to get lucky. I think I can win the argument though.

[Munster]

Very nice job and photos. I think you did a great job and you have wonderful dogs. Way to go on the MAjor! Look out Westminester her come Brandi!

[bhulisa]

Great news, keep it up! Trudi

[Ruffshooter]

Congrats Ladies, Brandi and Sam: The do it all dogs. Love it.

Denise When are you running the UPT? If that dog is solid, go for the UT. Just stirring a little more.
