What an Amazing Weekend!

 We had an amazing weekend, and we have so much to share!

This weekend was our collie specialty shows.  Saturday was warm and sunny, and we went home with new ribbons, a new title, and sunburns!  Sunday was windy, rainy and cold, but the collies still came with new ribbons!

We are excited to share the news that Nolan won Winner’s Dog for a 5 point major, and he is now a champion! 

And on Saturday during the AM show our ZuZu was Select Bitch, and in the PM show she was awarded Best of Opposite Sex.  These wins gave her more points towards her Grand Championship.

I had entered our sweet senior, Maizie, in the AM show on Sunday in the Veterans class. (CH Marchello’s Littlest Angel, FDC, THDN, CGC, TKN) I entered her just for fun, so she could go to the show with us and get back into the ring, and something wonderful and unexpected happened!

Maizie captured the heart of the judge, and she awarded Maizie Best of Variety over the much younger smooth champions!  Maizie looked beautiful and even though she is a senior, Grandma Maizie gracefully ran around the ring, until she started jumping with joy!  Watching her happiness, especially when everyone cheered for her, brought tears to my eyes!

On Sunday afternoon we entered the puppies in the 4 - 6 month puppy class.  It was their first show, and they were unsure and hesitant at first.  Slowly they figured it out, but they definitely need a lot more practice!

After evaluating the puppies the judge chose little Sam as Best Puppy!

It was a fun, exciting weekend for our collies, and we came with lots of pretty ribbons!  And though she didn’t win, our Rosie looked so beautiful!  Her day is coming…
