Amazing Weekend


We are back from the Edmonton dog shows with amazing news! Kort suddenly decided he was a show dog & we became a perfect team! It felt wonderful and I grew more confident with him everyday. We still have to figure out how to stop the barking that he does when gaiting in the group ring, just a tad embarrassing!
On Friday we went Best of Breed & took a 3rd in Group from the 12-18 month class!! I can't begin to tell you how exciting that was....Kort beat out Best in Show winners for that placement! He got 2 points for the Breed win & another 2 for the Group win....plus 40 breed points!!
On Sat. we had no competition, so no points were awarded, & we didn't place in the group.
On Sun. we took Winners again & Best of Opposite for another point! Kort now has 7 points toward his championship......
Here are our photos from the weekend, thanks to Kathy French Photography for the show pics, & Dianne, who owns Kort's litterbrother, for the in the ring candids!

Way to go Jolene and Kort! This is just the beginning. You show a mean dog, Jolene! Your magic touch and your confidence in him are evident. Donna and gang.

Yeah Kort & Jolene!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You both are AWESOME!!!!! What a wonderful weekend for you both. Thank God you have pictures right away!! We'd all be waiting and waiting!! When you figure out the barking thing let me know.....Soleil has a bit of a problem with that also!! I think that's why the judge picked her for Reserve.
