Dixie's First Show Pictures

Here's our girl with Ellen after she won her first point!

Dixie with Cathy Keefer (her "grandmother") after going Puppy Group 3.  Look how Dixie seems so much more relaxed on the platform--it must be old hat for her!

Once in a Blue Moon

I don't handle often, because, let's face it, when an expert like Ellen Russell is on our team that's really the way to go. But, when shows are local and Ellen isn't available, I like to indulge in my dream of being a breeder/owner/handler--I just need to learn to be an expert groomer like Ellen! I handled Sadie to second place in her class at Saturday's Mattaponi Kennel Club show. The judge really made my day by telling me I did a "very nice job handling"!
