Hi all, Sorry this is long but I just kept thinking of something else I had to say ! ;-) Just wanted to brag about my baby girls--they were just 6 months old last Monday and Saturday was their FIRST show. the German Shepherd Dog Club of Rochester NY with Charlie Mardecz judging, my Cheradon Erynbrook's Amazing Grace (aka Gracie or MAAAAZING Gracie !) was 4th out of 7 really nice puppies, her litter sister, Cheradon's Wish Upon A Star (aka Star) was 3rd. My dear friend Sue Barr has worked very hard with these puppies over just the past couple weeks and taught them a bit about showing and stacking and the pups did very well in the ring. A BIG THANKS to Sue for all her work. She is just the greatest puppy person ! She showed Star and Gracie was shown by my dear friend, Maggie Dudley--who also did a great job with her in the ring--THANK YOU Maggie !!!!! To make it REALLY special, one of the boys from this same litter that I sold as a "showable pet"--who has turned out to be a REALLY nice SHOW puppy (and I could kick myself for selling him now)--WON his class and looked spectacular in the ring with Maggie Dudley showing him. She has been working with him for a few weeks now and she has done a great job--and it shows--he is soooo handsome--and I was sooo impressed. The people I sold him to, Carin & Paul Frederick are just wonderful. This was their FIRST time ever at a dog show and I do believe they are HOOKED !! He is also entered next week, Sat & Sunday in Alexander as are his/my 2 sisters. I cant wait!! Then................. on Sunday, under judge Janet Lobb, with Trish Wylie handling, Gracie placed FIRST in the class and her sister, Star, with Sue Barr showing her, was 3rd. (Star just needs to settle down a bit in the ring-but thats what puppy classes & training is for)--Sue did a great job with her in the ring--Thanks again Sue. and THEN..................... Gracie went BEST PUPPY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I couldnt believe it !!! They really need more training to be perfected--but WOW !!! THANK YOU SOO MUCH TRISH !!! I was impressed--Sue doubled her on the other side of the ring--and it worked !! There were some Nice puppies there and I was very excited ! Gracie is owned by her breeders which is myself, Nancie Phelps & Susan Casey of Erynbrook Shepherds and also by my buddy, Suzie Marshall. Star is owned by just myself This is my 2nd litter of Geneva grandbabies. (#1 GSD/#1 Herding Dog/#7 all breeds/Can GV/2x Am Sel/BIS/BISS CH Kaleef's Geneva Aeval Achtung).
