Dixie is making a return to the show ring! As I write this, she should be on her way to Connecticut for a week-end of specialty shows.
Her father's owner stayed with us last month and of course, wanted to see Dixie. Cathy loved how she's matured and is encouraging me to special Dixie for her grand championship. We'll take it one step at a time and see how this week-end goes, but, Dixie still shows like crazy and seemed to enjoy her show career, so...
It wasn't hard to have her in shape for the shows. Dixie is always active and loves to run so she is very muscular and fit. She was a bit underweight and we had started to increase her food when Cathy saw her, but then increased our efforts so now her weight is perfect! I gave her nails some extra attention the last three weeks and a couple extra dental chews to really get her teeth pearly white.
Dixie must know she was heading for a show as she seemed to have a bit of a sparkle about her. I can't wait to hear how she does!
