We're Pointed!

It's official, Bowie is on his way to his championship! We went Winners Dog at Topsfield (Nothshore/Middlesex Country Club) and we went BOB today! Bowie was the only male entered, so I'm glad we got the carry-over points from the bitches. If only one more was there, we would have had a major! Everyone at Maine was really nice and supportive, I met a lot of really nice people! Including Karen, who was stewarding our ring- It was very nice to meet you! The show site for the Penobscot KC was nice and small, but our ring, I thought, was a bit *too* tiny... especially for all those Golden Retrievers! But Bowie was great he spent the day sleeping on the bleachers.

The Counts Are In!

Our first week of showing went well! The most important thing was for Bowie to be happy and relaxed, which he was! He transitioned well to traveling in a crate and chilled out during down time. He adjusted excellently. No Points for us, though. The first day of showing he was everywhere and not focused at all. The second day went much better. The key is to give him a nice walk before the ring!

Here are the counts for our upcoming shows:

North Shore Kennel Club, Friday: 1-0(1-0)0
(Just Bowie and his older brother, Lucas competing!)
North Shore Kennel Club, Saturday: 3-0(1-0)0
Middlesex County Kennel Club, Sunday: 3-1(2-0)0
Penobscot Valley Kennel Club, Saturday: 1-5(0-0)0

The Maine show's counts make me laugh... At least we'll get OS by default at the very least! And perhaps we'll pick up some points on the way :) Here's hoping!



I also picked up three new suits and some new grooming equipment! Sooo excited! Too bad I have to work this weekend... bleh
