We are back from Ionia, Michigan....Pics added

Post by Karen » Sun Oct 28, 2012 7:19 am

where the American Brittany Club National Gun Dog Championship was held, and Chloe (Woodland's Money Pit) came home with a 4th place! 53 dogs entered, only 6 weeks with her trainer/handler before Nationals and her very first time on those grounds!

HUGE thank you goes out to Jeanette Tracy, who has done a FANTASTIC job with Chloe, who has taken (I'm sure) tons of ribbing at long tail trials running my little Brittany, and who made the trip to Michigan during one of the few weeks she was to be home to run 1 dog.

Chloe was posted the first day (Tuesday) and then we watched the judges post 7 other dogs (4 the day after she ran) so we figured she was out of it, so we packed up and headed home yesterday a few hours before results and then got the phone call that she was placed! We missed pictures (darn!), but there's always next year :D :D
