We made it through that crazy August! Lol.

We had a 3 day UKC show, a 3 day AKC show, a 2 day AKC , and a 4 day UKC show including the UPA poodle specialty.

River got one more point towards his AKC champion title in Greensboro NC. Still chasing singles. We'll do limited shows for awhile while he grows out coat.

Big thanks to Kaet for showing Sylvie in the UPA specialty! As secretary i couldn't handle her myself. They looked great together but no love in the huge grand class

Sylvie was only entered in 3 shows all weekend. She won Breed over about 25 lovely multicolored poodles under the wonderful Judge Kathy Russell.

She also pulled her max in 5 weight pull trials. A qualifying pull is only 8 times their body weight which is fairly easy to accomplish if the dog is interested in pulling at all. Sylvie is earning points for the highest weight pull title now. In the "B" division a dog cant pull more than 35 times their body weight, so 41 pound Sylvie pulled 32 blocks or 1,480 lbs at each pull earning 150 points towards the Elite title. She should finish the final weight pull title at our next show. Having that and her diamond title (which shes actually earned twice with 10 diamond points), and having been on the top 10 for 3 years, we'll retire her this year so she can give us some fabulous puppies next year. It has been a huge honor to show this beautiful girl. Im going to miss it but it was a super fun ride ill always treasure.

Oh- I am looking into hunt training and testing for Sylvie and maybe juju. My two sporty girls. ❤️

River came along for the ride. ❤️❤️

Again- huge thanks to my husband, Greg, and Cindy and Randy Lacy for all of their help with our specialty!

We had a busy fun weekend at the Rappahannock Hound Club show this past weekend.

It was an Altered Invitational, and although Scarlett was on the list, shes shaved down so she didnt come.

Sylvie and River were entered in 5 conformation shows each, and both ran precision, Dash and Steeplechase.

There was quite a bit of multi competition. 8 the first day and around 13-14 Saturday and Sunday. Sylvie won the Grand class 4/5 shows, Breed 3/5 shows. So many thanks to all of the judges who chose our sweet girl, Nancy Gallant, Patricia Till, Jennifer Landers, and Joao Macado.

She also qualified in 4 Precision coursing runs, 4 DASH runs and 4 Steeplechase runs earning her HOP title and one Total Dog award.

River had a lot of mature competition in the Grand class and got no love at all.

He did qualify in all 12 of his coursing runs and earned the precision novice title- RACEN, a Dash title- Dash, and a Steeplechase title-HOP.

Also there were Jayna and Sophia with Noodles (Ivy x Machete), and Saucy (Willow X Dunder). They were only there Saturday but Saucy did earn a nice Champion class win and best of winners for 1 comp win and 25 points.

Rachel was there with Freddie (Willow X Dunder) for two shows and won reserve in his class.

Thank you club, volunteers, and friends for making it a fun weekend. And so many thanks to our friends Cindy and Randy wo helped us get ourselves, our dogs, and camper home when our car broke down. We're so blessed to have such wonderful friends!!

River is chasing single points in AKC. We went to Doswell for two days of their show. He turned one on Saturday and has to be cut out into a Continental so I only did the days that he still shows in a puppy cut because he'll need more hair for the grown up hairdo.

On Friday he was Best of Winners, Best of Breed Owner handler under Judge Victoria Jordan. Thank you Judge Jordan! Owner Handler Group 4!

Pro pic soon.

We had such a fabulous time at the United Poodle Association's Poodle specialty at Premier.

Sylvie was the Reserve Grand Champion in the huge class of 18 Grands under judge Diana Allen. I'm so very proud of her. Although she's a small girl, her stunning movement gets noticed. I'm always honored to be on the other end of her leash. Shes had some amazing accomplishments in her young life. She's earned the highest Conformation title, Diamond Grand Champion, and is more than halfway towards earning the highest weight pull title. As far as I know she'll be the second Poodle to earn it. Her sire, Jess is the first. She is also titled in obedience, rally, nose work, coursing. Sylvie is always ready to do anything I ask of her. She has really been a dream come true.

River got some good looks from the judge and was awarded an Award of Merit from Judge Marian Campbell with Jr Handler Finley Halley. Hes going to do some great things with more maturity. He's looking good but he'd definitely rather be playing ball. Puppies. 😄 River turns one this weekend. Where did the time go. He has two more shows as a puppy then we'll be cutting him into the Continental pattern.

We're home from Premier. What a fun and busy weekend. Sylvie and River were Entered in the United Poodle Association Poodle Specialty. Sylvie in Top 10, Both in conformation Friday and Saturday. Sylvie lure coursing and weight pull.

In the huge Specialty class of 18 Grand Champions, Sylvie was Reserve Grand Champion to the Best in specialty winner under judge Diana Allen. She made the cut in two other shows. River made the cut in all but one show and received an award of merit from judge Marian Campbell. Thank you judges for seeing our dogs.

Sylvie loves some lure coursing and earned her CA coursing ability title. She maxed out on weight pull all three days and earned 90 points towards her elite title.

The United Poodle Association had a fun meet and greet Friday evening and gave special awards for the Poodles that had qualified in sports. Sylvie was a recipient of one of those special ribbons honoring Poodles that do more.

Thank you Misty Ann for your help with Rivers top knot and for all of your support as always. On Saturday, after the very long multi grand champion class, I was beat. The lovely Jr handler, Finley Halley, offered to take River in, and handled him to his AOM. She did an Amazing job and has a bright future as a show dog handler!! Thank you Finley!!

We took a super fun Rosette making class with Michele Harvey . Thank you Michele!! My multicolored ribbon commemorates Sylvie's recent Diamond Grand Champion title.

It was a fun weekend! It's good to be home.

Huge thanks to Kelly Knight and her team for handling River to TWO major wins this weekend in Fishersville, VA.
