I am One Year Old Today!!!!

Well today is my birthday.... Aunt Dorothy made a cake and mom made Bernard and me some great dog treats. Annette came over as well and we all sat around and talked. I got to play with YoYo and Dorothy gave each one of us a new toy.... Fun day. Mom is going on an inspection tomorrow, so I get to stay with Uncle Harold. Mom will be home Friday for the week-end, but has to leave again the following Monday. THEN... Mom will be home until after Christmas YEAH!!!!

I AM A UKC CHAMPION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It has been a long time since I have blogged. It has been a difficult journey with my broken leg and mom being so busy I haven't been able to show very much. We have gone to several AKC shows and have been outdone by judges and professional handlers in the ring. Mom does the best she can...but we can't always beat the politics.

This last week-end I went to Denton TX and finally outdid myself. It was cool outside and I was ready to go!! Show one I took Best in Breed and a Group 4. I did the same thing again on the second show to finally become a UKC Breed Champion.

Mom said that we are not going to show conformation for a while. I am not walking in the ring quite right...and I need to mature up a little. Soooooo in the meantime I started agility and obedience today!!!

We went to Uncle Harolds house and I got to go through the tunnel and up and down the A-frame. I also did the crawl tunnel and one jump. I am not so good at jumping yet...so mom says we will practice at home. I would not jump on the table as it was set up for the bigger dogs...but I did jump OFF!!!

Whew It's been a while!!

After the July show... Mom went to Italy for a couple of weeks. I missed her, but I got to spend time with my brother Bernard... and also my new friend YO YO. She is so cute but a little smaller than I am. Mom came home and we went to a show in Corpus Christi. I showed really well, but we lost to the politics.... (Judge picked the dog who was being shown by another judge) It's OK... those are things that happen in the Dog Show world..and you just have to learn when and who to show under.

I am going to a fun match this week-end..and hope to have new pictures. Nicole gets to go too and she is doing Rally. We are both preparing for a great week-end in Denton TX where there is lot's happenin!!!

More soon. Sorry I haven't updated in a while

The big week is over and I am tired. The best news is that PT has found a nice lady that doesn't travel as much as mom. He had a wonderful week-end with her...and she is so excited to keep him. It is the best for him and it makes mom happy! I finished the week with 2 points, by taking two Best of winners, two reserves and 1 class win. We had a good time. I am trying out PT's crate! It is so big....but I get to be so close to Nicole.... it is AWESOME. Mom said that Karen's dad is really sick and she is really sad. Makes me sad when mom talks about it. Mom cried today because when she bent down to pick me up I scrunced down just like my sister Maggie who I have not met yet. She knew right then that Karen would love me as well. In Hutto we saw a really cute Biewer terrier and so I wanted to have a picture of her on my blog. Takes mom a long time to get all of this stuff done!!!

I am also featured on the RIYO PETS website... so I am famous!!!

San Antonio-- So far!!

I have done pretty well with mom the last two days. Uncle Harold and Dorothy pick us up in the morning and take us downtown. We then show in the ring with a judge. I have won my class and then have gone on to win Winners Bitch. I have gone in for Best of Breed both days, but the "specials" are winning everyday. Then Dorothy picks us up and Mom goes to work!! Mom says she is really proud of me. I now have 5 points!! I will have to get bunches better to get the two "majors" I need for my championship...but we never expected to have 5 points within the first two months!!! Mom and I are learning a lot!!!

Back From Big-D

Great holiday week-end with Mom in Dallas. She didn't take anyone else....it was just mom and ME! I tried really really hard... and most of the time I walked like a little lady!! My tables were not consistent...but I am getting better all the time!!

Friday I got winners bitch and best of opposite sex = 1 POINT!!

Saturday I got winners bitch and best of opposite sex = 1 POINT!!

Sunday... I guess everyone was scared of me!! So the only people that showed up was the "special dog" (he was sooooo cute) and me. Well.... he is 3 1/2 years old and been a champion for a while. His table is perfect..and she just stands there and looks at his professional handler!! We didn't have a chance!!!

This next week is the BIG San Antonio Show..... mom says that we are just going down and coming home during the week so she can go to work. That's OK. I get really tired at the shows.

I AM AN INTERNATIONAL CHAMPION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
