Cranbrook Dog Show

Thank you to the members of the Cranbrook and District Kennel Club for their hard work and dedication in making the August show a great success.  We who belong to SAWHDA know well how important volunteers are to a small club.  Without their dedication, jobs can become overwhelming with a few members taking on multiple chores. I am sure that all the members who attended the show and worked had their feet up and a glass of refreshment Sunday night.  Good on you all!!

Shar's puppy, Justice Shines, took a Puppy Group at the show which included seven Champions/Grand   Champion/ Grand Champion X with Justice as the lone Class Dog.

But he did have class and showed very well his last show as a Jr. Puppy.

Castle qualified twice and gained his new C.D. title 1/2 point off High in Class.

He did a nice job outdoors despite his fixation with bugs... scary stuff.

Drummer had moments of brilliance.... he was happy in the Open ring, which is soooo important as it gives him the confidence to go on.  He lost two points throughout his entire heeling pattern. He lost 0 points on his fetch on flat and fetch over high, and he lost no points on his broad jump.

I was delighted.  And I can understand his failure to execute a drop on recall as I have paired a sit with his "Lie Down" in herding so that he has more presence with the sheep.

But..... but.... the latest bugaboo... he's been talking to HANK.

"Let's lie down on our long sit."  

Yikes.
