We are back from Duluth Dog Show. I posted about the clear hearts in the health section, which is the top-most thing on my mind. Everything else is secondary to that.
As for the show, no points , but you can't win them all. Most everyone who has shown will tell you that you will loose a lot more than you will win. Deuce was entered in the Bred-by-Exhibiter class with just one other dog and got first on Friday and Saturday. Couldn't get him any further than that, though. Did get a number of good comments on him from other breeders there, most of them about how good they expect him to look when he matures a bit.
We pulled Dottie from the competition because she decided it was a good idea to start blowing her coat a couple weeks ago and was not really showable. We showed Pixxie and our Champion Cooper, but neither of them did anything.
The picture below is of our van almost packed. We had 8 plastic crates and 1 collapsible crates for the 10 dogs. It's a tight fit.
When we got to our cabin, we set up 2 x-pens hooked together. This way we could have then outside with us. Oh, and as soon as I find the other memory card, I'll post about the 2 extra rubies.
This last one is of Deuce down by Lake Superior. He may be a construction puppy, but he is definately not Nautical Dog :lol: He was very put out when a little bit larger wave came in and got his feet wet!
