I just received the OFA results on Lexie (Wasatch-Gold Auf der Autobahn) - Good Hips, Normal Elbows. Last month I met a young woman who used to be a professional handler in Columbia, and she started working with my big clown of a pup, Pono. She was handling a friend's pup in Idaho this weekend, so we decided to enter Pono a couple of days to see how he'd do with her. On impulse, I also entered Lexie in Bred-by on Saturday. Lexie had been with a co-owner and was recently returned to me, so she hasn't been in any shows since she was seven months old. Pono did pretty well when Monica Rueda had him in the ring, though he still needs to grow up and settle down before he'll really do well <G>. He did come home with two reserve ribbons - out of only two class dogs entered. The only time he was really out of control, was when 'mom' had to take him back in for winners - he thought that was too much fun! Lexie really made me proud. She took Best Bred By for the breed, then went on to Second Best Bred By for the Herding Group. Even with the handicap of me showing her, she is a natural - I'm looking forward to putting her in more shows next year. Coming home to find the OFA results back less than two weeks after we did the x-rays makes it even better <VBG>. Lexie and Pono are both out of my Hoki (Trinity Hokulea Wasatch-Gold, OFA H&E). Pono's sire is Ch. Windwalker's XL Erynbrook Auchtung, OFA; and Lexie's sire is my Vinnie (Brentaryl's Starrystarry Night, OFA H&E).
