Show, shows, more shows!

Last three weeks were really intense over here...

Not only dealing with all the puppies what is much work!), but also

I had to go for week long painting trip to CT and on return - grab some dogs

and my beautiful God-daughter Veronika and head out to WV for another week.

 We two were staying with our friends Claire and Bill for 4 days long show cluster.

We weren't the only guests on guys farm. Together with us went 4 of our schnauzers:

Lusha, Avva, Chant and Roy.

Long story short - it was much work, much fun, good time with good friends.

We brought home another bunch of ribbons and several new wins!

Unofficial winning photos.

I still waiting for official stuff to be e-mailed to us.

It may take some time.

of Cumberland show cluster.

(Another unofficial photo.)

She did extremely well this weekend and ended up with winning 3 days out of 4.

She collected another 4 points and on a day one went Best of Breed,

what was a bonus!

Roy got his very first point toward his Championship too...

Now we and dogs will be taking about month-long brake from conformation shows

and work on some performance events instead.

In a two months we ended up with putting 5 Championship points on Chant,

1 on Roy and 6 on Lusha. All owner-handled.

Irina did marvelous job on working with those coats.

Next weekend we going to have our first Rally-O Advance performance trial.

Now... would be nice just to take it easy... for change.
