Gloria continues her winning ways

It has been a fun ride in the dog show world this past few weeks for me.  Gloria has exceeded all expectations by being a Herding Group placer a few weeks ago at the NW Arkansas KC show.  Here is a picture of me and Gloria showing off the beautiful Group 3 yellow ribbon.  I am proud to say that I handled her to this win myself.  Or maybe I should say that she won despite me being her handler.  Either way I was thrilled.

 

 

 

Then this past weekend at the Benton Arkansas KC show she did even better.  She became a Herding Group winner!  Unbelievable.  I have been show dogs since 1984 (yes I am old) and this is the first dog that I have had that won a group.  I am thrilled beyond belief.  In the three weekends she has been shown as a Special -- she has accumulated almost all of her points needed to be a Grand Champion.  The amazing part is that she is only 18 months old.  This has been a fun ride already and she is still a baby.  Here is Gloria showing off her blue ribbon with handler Linda Williams who does a fantastic job with all of my dogs.

 



 





Cybil's New Home ....

Cybil went to her forever home yesterday.  She is now in residence with new mom Janet and her Pembroke brother Woody.  By all accounts they have all hit it off famously.  I am sure she is ruling the roost!
