Wow, what a week.... We started out on Thursday the 12th of October, the three Amigo's. Sheryl Brockett, Roger Bishop and me!!!! Along with 10 German Shepherds and a Chinese Crested.... Wasn't sure how this would work, an 1850 mile drive with that many dogs and no sleep can really press a freindship....We got in a few days early and all went well, we ended up driving straight through. I can say that we are all still friends and we had an overall great time. All of the dogs took the trip well and seem to enjoy themselves despite the fact that 2 of them were in season! The Pups we brought we just 6 months old and had never been in any show ring before. Although they did not place they were moved up and had a great time. I was very please with their performance (a little inconsistent but hey)! and their experience. They both will be ones to watch out for in the future.. Now for the Special brag... It is now Select Excellent Ch. Mariner's Jenny from the Block, OFA H&E, TC (AKA Loren) Sire: Select Excellent Ch. Karagin's Hoodlum of Castlehill Dam: Can Sel. Am/Can Ch. Mariner's Aria D' Arte Breeders: Debbie Kaser & Joyce Shelp Owners: Debbie Kaser, Joyce Shelp & Cindy Tellefsen Handler extraordinari: Cindy Tellefsen Conditioner & Trainer extraordinari: Sheryl Brockett Driver and One good Guy: Roger Bishop Loren will be working sheep as soon as she is out of season.... Without these people I am not sure this would have happened. They make showing dogs Fun Win or Loose and something to look forward too... Thank you Helen Franklin for finding our girl..the big ring is her forte! Also, to my friends Bev, Colette, Carol & Mike & Kathy for helping to keep me sane and focused while at the show... After driving straight through to get home, another 1850 miles I am quite sure it will take at least a week to get back to normal but I am quite all right with that...LOL See ya next year!
