Two Show Dogs and Their Sire

A small family portrait–Burrito with 2 of his “get”–Johnny and Gabby.  The Whidbey Island Kennel Club show was the first show for both pups–they had turned 6 months old on November 2–they did so well and made everyone proud!

Father and Son

Burrito (Best of Breed) and Johnny (Best of Winners) posing for with their ribbons.  Burrito is Johnny’s sire–and I’m sure Burrito is very proud of his young son!

Casual Pictures from Saturday at the Whidbey Island Kennel Club Show

Dec 022022
 

Sometimes trying to take pictures of the dogs can be very frustrating–the dogs are looking in different directions, the people are struggling to get the dogs to pay attention and look good for the pictures–this is about as good a picture as we could get of the 3 Saturday winners.  Junebug on the left, then Burrito and Johnny on the right.

Whidbey Island Kennel Club Show

Dec 022022
 

November 19 and 20 at the Evergreen State Fairgrounds the dog show sponsored by the Whidbey Island Kennel Club was held.  On Saturday the Absolutely team had an outstand day!   Burrito was Best of Breed, Johnny was Winner’s Dog and Best of Winner (for a 3 point major and his first points at just a little over 6 months old), and Junebug was Winner’s Bitch (again for a 3 point major).   After the breed ring–and later in the day, Burrito went to the Non-Sporting Group and received a Group 2 placement (Cheyenne showed him beautifully).  Immediately after the Non-Sporting Group was the National Owner/Handler Group–Torie and Johnny received a Group 4 placement–so proud of these 2!!!

THE SIGN

Aug 262022
 

While attending the Olympic Kennel Club show in Enumclaw, Burrito discovered a sign that he thinks is perfect for him.  Burrito was Best of Breed all 3 days of the show!!  He’s such a nice little guy!!!

A weekend in Elma

May 102021
 

We haven’t attended the dog shows in Elma for many, many years because they are typically scheduled for the same week that we are away at Nationals. But this year, as with everything else in life being different we were able to attend. And we are happy we did.

While Dina is convalescing from major knee surgery, we took Cash out to finish up his Grand Championship. He showed beautifully for Sue and managed to obtain enough Select Dog points to earn the title of Grand Champion.

Burrito took the Best of Breed ribbon for each of the 3 days that we showed which qualifies him for the title of Champion. He also got his first taste in the group ring and he did great in there! Fit right in.

Jan Rider was there with her lovely boy Elijah (littermate of Burrito) who took Reserve each day. Our great friend Adora showed Elijah the first two days but on the final day Jan decided to take the lead. It was Jan’s first real ring experience and she did a wonderful job. Taking a dog in the show ring for the first time is pretty intimidating. We hope she wants to continue in the ring because she has the makings of a very good owner/handler. Way to go Jan!

Whidbey Island KC

Not to be outdone by Chandler, the Big Burrito also got his first point. Both of the boys did really well in the ring after they got over their nerves and excitement. It will be interesting to see which boy becomes the front runner. Do I see an inhouse rivalry developing?

  • Emoji 🙂 Winners 2 days
  • Kevlar-Select and NOHS
  • Oliver – Best of Breed
  • The Big Burrito – Winners

Emoji was Winners both days as well as Best Opposite to add to her championship points. Ch Kevlar added points to her Grand Champion title and Oliver was Best of Breed on Sunday.

A nice weekend for team Absolutely.
