Last week-end was the Durango Kennel Club shows in Cortez Colorado. Three days. We pulled some wins we have never pulled off before all together like that. Friday: Winners Dog: Oak Ridge Smuggler's Cove (Ian) from the 9-12 class (CH Tams Treasure Isle x Kaimacha Innuendo ROM) Winners Bitch: Oak Ridge Colorado Moonlight (Luna) (Kaimacha Winning Colors CD x Kaimacha Innuendo ROM) Reserve Bitch: Serenity's Mariah V Oak Ridge(Mariah) ( CH Hicliff Free and Easy x Serenity's Cholula) BOB & BOW: Oak Ridge Colorado Moonlight BOS & Best Puppy: Oak Ridge Smugglers Cove Saturday: Winners Dog: Oak Ridge Smuggler's Cove Winners Bitch: Serenity's Mariah V Oak Ridge Reserve Winners Bitch: Oak Ridge Cololardo Moonlight BOB & BOW: Serenity's Mariah V Oak Ridge BOS & Best Puppy: Oak Ridge Smuggler's Cove Sunday: Winners Bitch: Oak Ridge Colorado Moonlight. All dogs were shown by yours truly or by Carrie. (Evan has convinced me to show my own dogs which has some ups and downs to be sure). We had our special in there too which created some problems as we had not planned on winning bitch and dog so we had to get a ringside pickup on him and he did not show well for them but it was nice of Bill Sterwart (a sammy handler) to give it a go. On Sunday after two days of that we pulled our special so that he would not look bad in front of people and as it turned out we didn't win dogs that day and I could have shown him. Niether Bitch or Puppy would have shown for Bill and we wanted nothing but positive experiences for them which is why we had him on our Special (CH Oak Ridge Lunar Shadow) It was an all-breed show with some small rings so the kids didn't show as well as they are capable of but it was enough. There were 6 points available for the week-end and we won 5 of them. :{) Though a small show the DKC show is the closest thing Carrie and I have to a home show. Only 120 miles away. Great set ups for the RV's and a lot of really good specials show up in all breeds looking for BIS.
