In one of the groups somebody recommended this brush and wow! It did the job well! He is regularly bathed and brushed, he started shedding but not much was coming out with brushing, and this thing worked like magic!

I’ve made this collage for a discussion about colors. It’s all the same dog just in various shade of brindle, fawn, black and with white markings. It’s not perfect but you can see how much color can change and how different the dog will look in different color or markings. We see a lot of discussions about colors and it’s really hard to believe it’s been decades and that’s the only thing people can talk about regarding breed standard. It’s a sad state of affairs 🤦🏻‍♀️

Ps. The dog with white markings would be the maksimum amount of white permitted by breed standard. The goal is to minimize white markings. The heavy white dog would be out of standard but this can happen when you breed two dogs with white markings - same genetics as for example in Boxers where if you breed two flashy dogs there is a big chance of getting a white puppy. Just genetics. Not rocket science. It can help you understand why some things happen and how to possibly avoid them. Color is also an easy fix in one generation.

We did a lot of traveling and a little bit of showing! 2000 miles, 8 states and 3 shows with 2 x Best in Open Show for Bruco!

Best in Show will be the Presa! It was such a difficult weekend - I wasn’t able to make it for the two previous days and barely made it to this show, feeling stressed all day. Then, right before the BIS competition started, Jim called - his friend, with whom he started breeding Presas over two decades ago, had just been murdered minutes earlier. Bruco is very responsive to my moods, and I wasn’t sure I would even be able to show him now. Evan was still asleep in my setup, so I went in with Bruco - and this boy gave me his all. It will be one of those days you remember forever.

The UKC Midwest Classic is one of the largest UKC shows, and winning our first big Best in Show ever there feels unreal. And all the support ringside from other competitors - the congratulations and positive energy - it all reminds you why you love this sport so much.

Thank you to the judge, Sharon Griffin, for this honor!
