Keep watching for my new pics of Hogan from Krisma Images... it is a fantastic picture. I will get a good pic of Jet too later. He is coming around. We were wondering about him for a while but at the St. Paul show Pam likes him. He has changed quite a bit in the last month... so has Hogan. Amazing how they change... Enjoy the rain. We are dry and cool but not cold. Good luck I will send up a few prayers for a good show.
Whohooooo!! CONGRATULATIONS!!!!
that was awesome ! 4 out of 4 :))))
she is a little pistol isn't she? :) I guess she listened to you well enough for the judges to think she was working " with" you LOL ;o)
We should have a training day with these two - I can come up and bring some pheasants. There is a farm in Joliet close to where I train. And then we can have a good stew :D
Congrats to Cailin from her pal Lego :)
Hi Judy ! We Passed! whohooo :))) now we are off to training for MH.
Good luck tomorrow - Cailin has only one to go as well, doesn't she? She will get it I am sure :) I am not sure if I will be there tomorrow - I am quite exhausted right now. Lego is pooped as well although he made a new friend in Lacey PJ. They were so sweet :)
Watch out for ticks - I pulled one fat with blood from yesterday and two crawling on the hairs from todays run. The field was full of them .
Oh, and I have to tell you how we found the bird - he pointed, I went to flush but could not see the bird, only hear it. Guess why? Because I was standing on it. :o\
the judge got a kick out of it (laughed at me of course) and I know my karma just got heavier :O\
stuff like that only happens to me I guess :O)
I emailed Lin and was told that first is Masters, then Senior and then junior....so I figure at least 3 maybe four hours for the first two...It will be interesting to see how long they take. I am going to be there at 9, leave here around 7:30, then just hang out and watch. So see you tomorrow.....darn, I wish we were closer together....I have a wedding in the afternoon, so have to get out of there as soon as I can....my nephew, I suppose I should show up....: )))
Hi Judy!
So the Super could not change our braces. I guess we should have asked before the drawing - she said that she could have helped us then.. Oh well.. I was wondering at what time to arrive as well .. Not sure if they will run separate courses for Jrs and Sr/ Master. If one course I will be there until sundown ( 5:45 pm according to Weather.com) so I guess I will be there around noon.
I live in Wisconsin, USA . I have owned Irish Setter and shown in confirmation since 1991. Kelsey was my first Irish, then came Katie and Konnor....they have all gone to the bridge now but are forever in my heart. I finished their AKC Championships myself...I am so proud of that. It was a great challenge.
We have Sheltie Daphne. Then came Irish Setter Karri Ann, because of health problems she never finished her championship. She is the Queen of the house and everyone knows that. Kolby came to us from Irish Setter Rescue. He was visiting one day and never left. Kylee (Irish) is my pillow girl. She is very soft and we are playing around in Rally, Obedience and Confirmation. Kristopher (Irish) is our big boy. He came from California and is the best confirmation dog I ever had. He won many awards as a puppy and beyound. Then another dream come true was Cailin...my Irish Red and White Setter...she my first field bird hunter and loves it so much. Dreams came true when she became the first AKC Conformation Champion in January 2009. Shelly is our little English Setter girl...she came from the shelter as a foster and never left...that was almost two years ago...She has my husbands heart...she loves him so much...
I do dog grooming at home so my dogs are all very spoiled...they have me 24-7 and I wouldn't have it any other way. My life revolves around what I do with my dogs. We have so much fun together.
