Today was a strange day. The dog show went on and I was so proud of the way Arnie and Anneliese handled in the ring. The walked well, and neither one of them presented in a nervous manner. I was so proud!
But I was surprised by the Judge and his comments. No I’m not unhappy, please do not get me wrong, it’s just that things keep changing in what is expected from the pups and I felt a little lost after the event.
The dogs both got “Very Good” scores. So, they are eligible to breed and continue in the club. The field of entrants was quite small this year. I missed seeing the other dogs.
I did have my very own cheering section! Here I am with my friends, Heather, Linda and Lynn! It was so terrific to have them with me!
Ah, it’s late and I am tired. We hit the road in the early morning for home, so I will need to get some sleep.
More Later.
Congrats on the “Very good”!! I hope you elaborate on what the judges said. You looked great walking your dog.
Congrats! I’m not surprised and very happy for you 🙂
🙁 It is to bad they didn’t get excellent, but I think they did wonderful!!
Maribeth,
wonderful photos.
Do not care about the Judges.
After all, your puppies are qualified.
By the way – Our 3 kittens still with us:

They are better than the Best in my book!!! You’ll be glad to get home. Love YOU, Mel
Was Arnie the only dog out in the ring? Was the judge in front of you? I’m hopeless with all this, but I think your dogs are wonderful…and better than best.
Ah, those strange judges, never mind them. We all know that they’re excellent 🙂
