And Again

What an exciting weekend we had on the Island. I am beyond both thrilled and proud of my dogs. This has been an amazing year for VeGrenan and this weekend has been no exception, in fact, it is one of the most successful so far.

July 10 & 11 2010 - PEI Shows.

On Saturday Aldercrest's Miss Smartie Pants RN CGN SJATD successfully passed a leg of her PCD (handled by A Saulnier). On Sunday, this team passed the first leg of Rally Advanced B with a second highest in class. This little dog has been amazing and she just keeps getting better.

On Saturday, VeGrenan's Trapped Ina Secret (Rumor), at only 6months and 5 days old went Best of Breed over Specials to obtain her first 2 points. She wasn't done showing off yet because on Sunday she went Winners Female for another 2 points (handled by A Saulnier). The icing on the cake was after the show when a judge (not judging at this show) came over to our campsite to compliment me on this puppy and to discuss her future. Yep, I was flying high after that.

On Saturday, Ch.Lady Olivia CGN PCD, entered the Rally Ring for her first (and my first) time ever. She performed wonderfully and went second High In Class Rally Novice B with a score of 98. Sunday, she passed again but topped her previous performance by 1 point and went High in Class with a 99. There was some begging going on on my part for a few of the sits but overall I am soooo proud of her. Hoping we can finish RN this year.

Sunday, Bullzeyez Priscilla VeGrenan (handled by L McKeigan-Dempsey), went Winners Female, Best of Opposite in the morning show and picked up 1 point. Priscilla is working her way towards her championship in fine style and having fun along the way. Her handler was so happy as it was her first win on a dog and it gave her the encouragement she needs to keep showing.

The Cinderella story of the weekend for me though is my baby girl Viv. Miss Vivian of VeGrenan went Winners Female, Best of Opposite both shows on Saturday for 4 points and did again on Sunday in the afternoon show for another point. A 5 point weekend for the "Baby" made me sooooo happy.

Anyways, that is enough bragging for now. I am sure my streak will end but in the meantime - I am going to enjoy every second of it.

See you at the shows.

Make That Five

For the 5th weekend in a row, VeGrenan has been well represented at the shows. July 3 & 4 2010 was the weekend of the NSGSDC Specialty. The weather was wonderful, there were some gorgeous dogs there and I had a blast watching the whole event. It was well organized and the judges did a great job. I would like to congratulate all the winners from this show and I hope that next year proves to be as great.

My boy - VeGrenan's Aiko The Terrible RN - handled and owned by Heather Smith - turned in a stellar performance in the Rally Rings. He went back to back High In Class Rally Advanced on his first attempts at this level. Keep watching for him as he tries to make it three for three. Very proud of this team.
