Thornapple Last Dance "Janay"
So we are home and tired LOL, we had a 2 day show weekend....
First Yesterday ...  The International Dog Show in Belgium - Leuven and Janay became 1 Excellent, and Nousa best female baby.....with a very promising!
Then today we were at an not official show, but a club match. I had entered my dogs because my daughter wanted to show my dog Dice. There were only
4 aussies entered, 2 males, so My daughter from 11 years old became WD with Dice with an Excellent, I was really proud of her she did a great job because
Dice was all the time looking for me but i couldn't leave the ring because I was with Nousa right after them.Then became Nousa best baby with a Very Promising,
Janay was WB with an Excellent of course not difficult as only bitch, but then she became BOB also very difficult walking with both of your own dogs LOL..
.lucky Lynn and Dice were walking in front of me and I could handle Janay easy  ....   Later in the ring of honor .... Janay became BIG-2 and Nousa Best Baby
In Show out of 22 babies, and she won a very big trophy  ....  so we had a very nice weekend ;-).   Rianne

AGILITY WEEKEND for Abby!
I thought you would love to hear how Abby did today at her first agility trial. Her standard run went great except she wouldn't
 do her first obstacle which was the tire and she hasn't seen it in months, plus she was really nervous, but she qualified and got
first in her jumpers run beating her very experienced sister Kaya by 3/4 of a second!! I have published the video to YouTube and
hopefully this link will work for you so that you can see her in action!! If not, let me know and I will see what I can work out for you.
It is also on my FaceBook page. I will also keep you posted about tomorrow's happenings.
CONGRATULATIONS on an AWESOME Saturday Agility Day Shari!

It was a very successful first agility trial for Abby. She qualified in 3/4 of her runs this weekend and got 1 first place and
2 seconds (right behind her sister Kaya who took first). So now she has 1 novice standard leg, and 2 novice jumpers legs.
 If not, let me know because I also have them on YouTube. I thought you would love to hear how she did. Shari
FANTASTIC WEEKEND Shari!

  
Abby didn't think it was fair that she doesn't get to go to Colorado with us so twice she tried to sneak into my suitcase
tonight as I was packing! LOL-smart and sneaky little girl she is. She was so cute. I turned around to put more stuff in
and there she was making herself quite comfortable. I was extremely tempted to pack her up in it and take her with
us, especially with how cute she is!

Nell scored 25 more MACH points 12 seconds under course time 3rd place JWW Friday and fourth place JWW Saturday.
Its tough to beat the Border Collies. Friday my sweet girl ran in the pouring rain, we could hardly see the jumps.
The surface was grass on a sand base so it was safe. No double Q`s which is what we need. Jenny

NO REST for a WORKING GIRL!
Blush is working on her Exc A titles according to her owners Julie & Chance Schrecengost

 
Amy writes -- Oh this doggie is so bad! She hates showing, baiting or doing anything associated with a leash.
(Unlike Blush, Nell, Mylie, Mirage & Abby who LOVE to work, Pucker is ALLERGIC to work!)
It took FOREVER to take stacked photos of her....moves her feet - won't bait - looks the other way, etc....
So Shayna decided to make Pucker faces as well!
