I hate to break this to yall… but I’m starting to be pretty convinced we are all just people who have a gambling addiction… but with dogs lol.

We could be in Vegas dipping drinks by the slot machines… but instead we are driving across the country at 2am to see if we can get a stranger to point at us while we run in a circle with our dogs.

Anyways, this is my first weekend off in 6 weeks and I miss it 😭🤣

Rebecca and Harper had an amazing day in Mississippi!! I wish she was entered the rest of the weekend since they’re on a roll, but I think they’re off to play barn hunt!

Northlake Kennel Club of Greater Covington
•WB/Best of Winners for a 4 point major and Best of Breed Owner Handled under Judge Shawn Peterson
•Owner Handled Group 3 under Judge Dr Vicki Sandage DVM

Mississippi Gulf Coast Herding Group Club
•Reserve Winners (and strongly considered for Winners) to a 4 point Major under Judge Karen Hynek

This team makes me proud, they are the true definition of a team that puts in the work both in practice and grooming! Nobody would believe Harper is Rebecca’s first show dog by watching them dance around the ring together!

One of my favorite Rally teams got back into the ring this weekend… after telling us she didn’t know if she was ready for Masters, they earned a ✨PERFECT SCORE✨ and 1st place ribbon their very first time!!

Freya’s official win photos from Rapid City Kennel Club!

We went out on a high before she landed wrong and mildly sprained her pastern… just enough to affect her when gaiting 😭😭

Dogs are so humbling, but she didn’t mind spending the last two weekends hanging out at our grooming spot instead of playing show dog lol.

I’m so proud of this girl.. the sky is truly the limit for her in everything she has tried! Did you know she has her Rally Excellent and Master Barn Hunt titles too?! Her mama loves doing the performance stuff with her. I can’t wait to see what all they accomplish together!!

That’s a wrap on 6 weeks of dog shows… I’m ready to take one or two off lol.

Thanks to all the Badlands owners who joined me on the road, I’d say we made some great memories! (I don’t have pictures of every ribbon handy.. but we sure racked up some great wins along the way!)

3 years ago this weekend, I gave a very special blue boy… my first keeper puppy.. from my first litter to the sweetest 12 year old girl who wanted a juniors dog of her own.

To say the journey has been bittersweet in the best way is an understatement.. and I’m so beyond proud!!! Hailey has worked hard to train Puckett into the dog he is today and together they have grown and blossomed as a versatile team!

Today, they took the dock at the North America Diving Dogs - NADD NATIONAL and walked away with a new ✨PERSONAL BEST OF 22 FEET!✨ and here I am watching on AKC TV and crying in the parking lot at the very same dog show that I took him out of my car and helped her pick out a red leash from the show vendor at…

Hailey, it’s been my pleasure to get to go on this ride with you. You have both come so far and made me so proud. I can’t wait to see what the future holds. I hope you are floating on Cloud 9 ❤️

And shoutout to her mama, Greta.. who makes the mountains move with a broken foot and all! All her supporters and trainers at RyeDoodle Boarding & Training and K-9 Sport Complex and anyone who donated towards making this trip possible!!!

The big ring with dogs that don’t look like Aussies is a little intimidating and the perfect place to take a nap… but she made sure to secure an OH Group Placement beforehand.

Thank you Judge Victoria Jordan for finding my green puppy in a beautiful lineup!
