OKC Show Weekend Wrap Up

Ottawa Kennel Club show site, Richmond Fair Grounds, Ontario - Thursday evening set-up

It was a busy (and hot Sat & Sun) weekend for us as we had 3 of our dogs entered, our Senior Puppy "Whistler" owned by Linda Howie, our adult boy "Rush", and his sister "Ruby". Mucho thanks go to Penny for assisting in the grooming, ringside assistance and handling. Mary-Anne (our kennel Mgr on Sat carrying for our 14 new pups!) and Marylou @ the show site for all their setting up help, ringside assistance, keeping the dogs pottied and cool. Thanks to Kate (Panda's owner), and Linda for being there at the end on Sun and helping to do the take-down and van packing. Extra hands certainly make the work easier.

On Sunday it clouded over, was windy and thus cooler, and I think all the dogs found their extra wind and their "I'm full of it!!!" attitude, at least "Whistler" did.

All in all it was a great weekend. The highlight was Shelamo's Riding The Sky going Best Puppy In Show on Friday! and Winners Dog and Best of Opposite on Sunday.

On Sunday Rachel Pratt was at ringside so I asked her to capture some ring moments ... here's a few of them."Whistler' baiting his heart out
