This has been one big August here at Oak Ridge. Where to start? First our Girl Nizhoni (Kaimacha Innuendo) was the #1 new ROM bitch for 2007. :{) She has many good puppies out there who will continue to contribute and has just had a litter (it will be her last) with CH Tams Treasure Isle TT HIC a great Bi and a nice line breeding. This last week-end in Greeley Colorado was Majors on both sides. On Saturday under judge Mrs. P.A. Hess our Alvin daughter who just turned 6 months old the day before was run around with the open bitch and the 9-12 bitch as a serious contender for WB. Her first show and she looked great. We call her Sienna and her name is Joelle's Jakelyn V Oak Ridge. Next our new girl (9-12) Serenity's Mariah (SEL CH HiCliff Free 'n Easy X Serenity's Cholula) took reserve winner's bitch. :{) Was a great showing her third time out. To finish Saturday our boy CH Oak Ridge Lunar Shadow went BOB. This was his 10th BOB and his first time out in almost a year. We wanted him to mature a little and he looked very nice. We only had him entered the one day. On Sunday under Judge Ms M.R. Spalding our Hunter daughter Woodsides Jakarta (CH Woodsides The Bounty Hunter X CH Woodsides Nickole) went WB and BOW. This made a VERY WET weekend a great affair! Finally, as many of you know I have been doing a lot of my own handling and was actually asked to take in someone else's dog! Val Manning bravely put me on the lead of her open boy Terra Nortes' Ninja (the Nija warrior, a very nice moving MALE who will be going places) and we finished with a Major reserve! It was outside and he looked great, every one was clapping for him (see the thread on applause) and he got excited and galloped his last go round (2 times non stop) and I think it cost him the win. Well he did loose to a very nice Dallas son owned & bred by Sheri McKinnon but other than that he would have won. :{) (I know I am going to hear from Sheri on this!) Life is cake, Dog shows are the icing.
