Mood:  cool

Last weekend out we ventured out to Brandon with Gloria my friend to take on the last show of the year that is in Manitoba.   With the winds howling the snow falling, off we went with her Fergie (Finnish Lapphund) and Jackson & Diva (Amberlyn's Sorority Girl) both very young babies.   This was Diva's first show also.   We made it with no really big issues on the road, but it was like driving into winter!

First Day at the show, all did well.  Gloria with her Finnish Lapphund went WB/BOS to put her at 8 points!

Diva went WB/BOW & BOS for her first 3 points, and Jackson too BOB and a Group 3rd for his first Group placement.   He Also got another Best Puppy in Group.  Thank you to Judge Irene Bader for these great wins, and putting up such young babies in the winners circle. 

Saturday Jackson went and played in Sweeps again, to Win aother Best In Sweeps!  Thank you to Shawna Mclaughlin for this lovely win, there was some very lovely puppies and well deserving babies in the ring.

Onto Sunday, another foot of snow has fallen and its so flippin cold!  Last day and were outta here right?      So Diva & Jackson decide to pull of their Friday in the exact same order.   Jackson now gets to stay all day and wait for Best Puppy in Show.   We didnt get another, but we had fun waiting around all day to visit with friends.   Gossip's (our Finnish Lappund) breeder Linda & Steven drove in from Tennesee to show the weekend, so we had to thaw them out of the snow drift and see them off to Kansas City to visit their family for the US Thanksgiving. 

I got to watch some of our puppies run in Agility, was nice to visit with some, was too bad i didnt get to visit with all, but its such a busy weekend for all.   Congrats to all the new Q's and titles, and to some who just had tons of fun running with their dogs. 

So Jacksons ended Year was 4 Puppy groups, 2 Best Puppy In Shows, 3 Best In Sweeps & 2 Specialty Wins!  And all in 4 weekends of shows.   Break time for baby!  And me too.
