Yes, it’s dog show season in Southern Arizona. And we just finished the five straight days of Fiesta Cluster dog shows in Scottsdale. Lisa was showing both her own dog, the champion Border Collie Sadie, and Brady. Brady is still earning his championship points. It was a good weekend for both with Sadie picking up a Best of Breed (BOB) and Best of Opposite Sex (BOS) and Brady picking up his first major win worth four points.
This was our second show this season. Kicking it off with the Lost Dutchman Kennel Club show and the Sahuaro State Kennel Club shows, back-to-back in the week end of Feb 5 through 8. Both Sadie and Brady were shown during the weekend. Not a stellar set of shows for the dogs, with the most noteworthy event being my very first time in the show ring! That’s right, for as long as I’ve been attending show with Lisa and her dogs I’ve never had to actually show a dog. My job is taking pictures, loading and unloading, and eating hot dogs. When Lisa found herself short of friends to help her show I had to step up. Oh boy, I’d seen it done a thousand times, all I had to do is do as I’d seen done by all those pro handlers. It’s all about attitude I tell myself. Think like a pro and I’ll look like pro.
