This past weekend, Rio Grande KC & Coronado KC held a 4-day show cluster at the Manuel Lujan center at the Fair Grounds. It wasn't a great weekend, but it was a good weekend. I learned more about the brindle beast, Nampa, and also about his littermate, Glory.
Nampa is such a goober and I tried to make him behave this weekend. It didn't work and, as a result, he started stressing. The more he stressed, the worse he did. It turned into a vicious cycle and he got to the point that he didn't want to be there. It got to the point that he was shaking and his tail was tucked tight against his belly. Bad momma! So, today's object was for the boy to have fun. Our judge was Bill Cunningham and I warned him ahead of time that the boy was going to have fun because something had spooked him. He nodded and, as we were doing the down & back, my boy Nampa returned. He was in the air more than on the ground and that long, skinny, whip tail of his finally untucked. I feel bad that I forgot that it is more important for the dog to have fun than the dog to win. Just goes to show, I'm not perfect.
Glory was also shown this weekend. The highest she placed on Sat, Sun & Mon was RWB. Today, the last day, she finished her breed ring title becoming, DCh DM Jolie Noire FCh JOR! Glory is the 3rd dual champion in the Dash x Abbey litter. The other two are Nampa (DCh DM Flag of Our Fathers FCh JOR) and Banner (DCh DM Star Spangled Banner FCh JOR). The kids are doing Abbey & Dash proud.
Congrats kids...
