This year I decided to enter both Gloria and Gideon in conformation. Gloria did really well by placing in second in a class of twenty one 12 - 15 month old girls. You will notice that the rosette looks a little shop worn. Molly decided that she needed a new chew toy and chewed the rosette portion off.
Speaking of Molly -- she met her new owners Kristine and Jason from Illinois. She decided that she really liked them and wanted to go home with them. As a result Molly is now a resident of the great state Illinois. Below is a picture of Kristine, Jason and Molly. You will note that Molly is not in the picture. That was because she was twirling around when I snapped the picture. Since she wasn't putting her best paw forward I cropped her out. I did add a better picture of Molly girl. Since I am not a Photoshop expert you will have to use your imagination and just believe that she was on the other end of the leash that Kristine is holding.
Although Gideon failed to win any ribbons at the National he did garner a few nice compliments. As a result he is going to be a father again someday soon. The lucky girl's name has been withheld until the new owner announces.
