After tracking at Michelle's I headed off to Shannon's ,my breeder, to get Quila bathed and groomed before heading to Edmonton for the show
Here are the five dogs we are taking to the show....are they lining up for their baths?
Quila was second in line and wasn't thrilled when she found out coming in the house meant a bath!!
Really!!...You have to trim my toe hair??
I guess I do look pretty good...maybe it was worth it!
Once we arrived in Edmonton we headed over to the show and set up our tents, dog crate, grooming table etc...alot of stuff....didn't get any pictures as we were too busy setting up...it was then off to the hotel and getting the dogs feed and all of us to bed. Now remember there are five dogs, my breeder, Shannon and myself in the room...
First we have to get all the dogs into the room....after a potty break, this is only four of the five dogs.
Quila has picked her bed
Unfortunately the patties weren't thawed...so in the tub with hot water they go...you should have seen the line up outside that bathroom door!!
Here Quila is being examined by the Judge
This Judge really liked Quila and she got second open bitch
Shannon had hurt her heel and so half way thru this class Leanne took over showing Quila...thanks Leanne
Qula thought her bath the other day was enough but apparently not! So more grooming and fluffing!
Don't they look like they are having fun....remember you can't show dirty dogs...
Well Saturday night we found a field that we thought would be good for the dogs to have a run in....they badly needed a good run. We didn't see the water until it was too late...but they had a great time.
I hope they know this means more baths!!
Here Quila is in the ring with Shannon on Sunday. This is Judge, Gloria Kerr who choose Quila as winners bitch. This was Quila's first points....and she got five....which is really good. This was a special win as it was her first and under this judge...as well in a very large group of goldens.
Doesn't she move beautifully and look so pretty!
Now it is picture time with Shannon and the Judge...just getting set up here...will post the actual one once I get it.
Shannon had to hobble thru that class as her heel was still really sore...thanks Shannon for making it happen...I am happy you were with her
Going to try and recap here....not really good at all the title names...so forgive me Shannon:
Well it was a awesome weekend with lots of excitement...Jethro a nine month old that Shannon owns did really well...getting BOW and BPIB on friday and then BOW and Best Puppy at the GRCAlberta Specialty on Saturday. Then Isla , co-owned by Shannon got 2nd bred by exhibitor on saturday and Reserve WB on Sunday.. Quila got 2nd open bitch on Saturday and Winners Bitch on Sunday. Gidget, also owned by Shannon , got 4th in veteran bitch....on saturday. Quila also got her first leg in Rally Novice....so all in all a great weekend for the Coopermoon Kennel!!
