| Devin's
Brags |
| July 6, 2001 |
Devin - took Winners Bitch and Best of Opp for four - her
first major in AKC! Apparenly it was a very close call between her and
the Reserve Winner's Bitch...Watermark Irresistable! |

The 11 hour trip to Indiana was worth it! Devin finished
her ASCA Championship with her fourth
major under Joni Johnson! |

specials for 2 more points! |
| March 1, 2002: |
Devin dumped about 75% of her coat just in
time for the shows she'd been entered in. Monticello's judge was one who
begged her to behave in Cleveland (she was having a "where's mom???"
meltdown), so when we found that he was judging in Monticello, we entered
her. Our hopes sank when she got up one morning and left more than half
her hair in the couch...Mr. Terricone actually liked her much better half
out of coat, and placed her Winner's Bitch and Best of Opp with Maggie
O'Neil handling! He leaned down an said to her lovingly at one point "I
remember you!" |

| July 22, 2001: |
As usual, WASCUNY's
July Sparkler had a ton of tough competition (some 70-odd Aussies, I'm
told). Nevertheless, Devin walked away with a five point major under senior
breeder judge Linda Casella! This was her first time out (ASCA) since
November, and she was owner handled in the hot, humid July heat. |
| Nov. 4, 2000: |

for in earnest for the first time at HONYASC's first show, and brings
home a Reserve to a 5 point major with Ethan Wheeler handling! |

| Piper's
Brags |

|
| December 6 & 7, 2003 |
Piper went out a few times in the past year or so for practice,
but has simply been immature. Seeing her every day, I've been unable to
see the difference in her maturity, but apparently the judges do! Having
only two hands, I dragged only two dogs to our recent ASCA show, too support
the entry and gain experience if nothing else. Boy, was I pleasantly surprised
to bring Piper home with her first points - 5-point and 4-point
majors, and a BEST OF BREED win over specials to boot!!! |
| July 6, 2002 |
Piper made her AKC debut at the ripe old
age of seven months and walked away with Reserve Winner's Bitch (to Devin,
for 4 points), Best of Breed Puppy, and Puppy Group 2!!! |
|
|
| Bode's
Brags |
| |
|
| December 6 & 7, 2003 |
I suddenly realized that Bode had never set foot in the
show ring - ever! Not as a pup, not in a match - never. He is much like
his mother in never going through a gawky stage or falling apart, but
simply getting bigger with age. Despite this, he has been obviously immature,
and we've focused on more competetive dogs. I took him to our recent ASCA
show to support the club and as a training experience for the young man,
putting him in Am Bred to maximize his trips into the ring for this reason.
Boy, was I pleasantly surprised when unpointed Mr. "I've Been Showing
My Whole Life" came home on Sunday night with 2 4-point majors
and a Best of Opp to his sister Piper! |
