Gigi did it once again! At the Enid Dog Shows, Gigi (Dogue De Bordeaux) earned her second group placement. Last year Gigi got the first group placement for a female Bordeaux and now is one of only 3 Bordeaux with 2 or more placements. It was an honor to be at the other end of the least.

I am currently on the road for 7 straight weeks and am falling behind on the blog and my website, bad handler I know.

In Enid, besided Gigi’s win – I handled Keppie (Border Collie) to back to back Best of Breeds. Ruby (Brittany) earned her 14th pt – one more to become a champion. Bailey (Long Hair Dachshund) earned her 2nd point and also another Best of Variety win. Laur’en showed Cosmo to another point and Best of Breed.

The next weekend we went down to Lawton, OK. Here Bailey (Long Hair Dachshund) earned 2 more points. Jessica guided Katcher (German Shepherd Dog) to her first point an a Best of Breed. Lauren Moore, another Junior that travels with us earned a Best Junior Handler.

Last weekend I went down to Austin TX. Here Katie (Curly Coated Retreiver) and Emma (Kerry Blue Terrier) both earned their first point and both earned Best of Breed as well. And King (Curly Coated Retreiver) earned his 14th point and another Best of Breed.

We have been getting a lot of reserve wins – all of those are being published on our web site show results. I was just trying to keep the babbling down here.

Headed to Missouri for the next two weekends, then back to Oklahoma and then down again to Texas. More brags to come!

BIG HUGE CONGRATULATIONS TO Laur’en Jordan for winning back to back Best Junior Handler at the Sooner State Kennel Club Dog Shows in Enid, OK!!! Laur’en showed her Siberian
Husky Zvezda’s Cosmic Ray “Cosmo” in Junior Showmanship and she won her
class both days and went on to win Best Junior Handler as well. These
wins were under esteemed all breed judges Mrs Patricia Trotter from
Carmel, California and Mrs. Robert C Thomas from Southborough,
Massachusetts. In judging Junior Handling, the judges observe the juniors
exhibiting their dogs as they should be shown in their breed competition.
Mrs. Trotter, who just judged at the 2009 Siberian Husky National
commented to Laur’en that she did a wonderful job presenting Cosmo. Mrs.
Thomas told Laur’en she won on the small details like staying close to her
dog to keep in him control.

Laur’en also showed Cosmo in the regular classes as he is working towards
his championship. On Saturday under judge Mr. Robert Thomas, Cosmo was
award Best of Breed and Winners Dog, earning his 5th championship point.
Sunday Cosmo was award Reserve Winners Dog under judge Mrs. Trotter.
