This past weekend in the Jacksonville Mississippi Specialty Show, Reinehaus Melana Front Page (Page) took a 4 point major in her first weekend shown after being with handler Greg Eschette for only three weeks! Owner Fernando Balderrama and I would like to thank judge Dave Coleman for putting her up. Thanks to Greg for doing such a great job and making this a positive experience. He really keeps us informed of everything that happens with the dogs because he knows we can't wait to hear. He also has our boy, CovyTucker Hill's Vaquero, who already has 9 points. He's really made Vaquero part of his family and takes great care of him. We're looking forward to finishing Vaquero shortly. This is my second time around in getting into showing dogs. I got frustrated at first because of being a newbie, getting new dogs, and then being expected to finish and breed them even when they couldn't. But working with people like Greg and Mary Tripp has made showing the dogs fun again! If you're a newbie, find good people who really love the dogs, and then learn all you can. For me, that was Gloria Birch of CovyTucker Hills as well as Dr. Yolanda Briscoe. Good people and good dogs are what makes this sport fun. - Jose and Charles _________________________________________________________________ Windows Live Spaces is here!
