Dutch Shepherd Forum

I drove 5 hours to attend 2 days/4 shows of UKC conformation in Kalamazoo and finally had competition! Yay!

I was entered in all 4 shows and had 2 Best Male, and 1 Best of Breed. The same dogs were there all weekend, and on Sunday a Longcoat female puppy joined us and won a best female, once she settled down and got more comfortable.

Anyway, Boaz is now a Champion. And I think Luna, and Mr Right Now, also earned their Champion title.

I'll be going to the UKC Premier nrxt summer, but now to more important things, Obedience and Agility!

That is Fantastic!!!!

woohoo!!!

Congrats Carol! I know you worked hard for it!

Awesome!

Damn, that is awesome. I wish we had that stuff around here!

Congrats!

Congrats! Are you going to work towards the Grand Champion since you have competition not too far away?

Well, to me, 5 hours is pretty far away. Then there's the other two dogs to consider. Plus, my guy really gets bored with being on a leash an entire weekend.

For me, chasing after 5 champion wins is going to be a lot of time, and gas and hotel money.

So, no. It's not worth it.

Congratulations !!!!

For me a 5 hour drive for a show would be a short one! Always showed with friends, so we shared gas, hotel, and lots of times smuggled crock pots into the rooms. (So crowded at one show my daughter slept in the bathtub.) Use to have soooo much fun. Didn't matter if we pointed the dogs or not---just fun to go. (And of course party. ) Oh to be young again!

Congrats Carole.

Good for you and Boaz!! Congrats!

Awesome, congrats
