Holmes made his De-Butt as a special today. He was Best of Breed over two other Specials and three class bitches. In Colorado that is enough for a Grand Champion Major. Nothing happened in the Group EXCEPT Holmes did not look out of place. He is an elegant looking young dog with a floating side gait. He still needs more table time so that he’s comfortable, but he wasn’t bad on the table — Wendy just mentioned he could be more comfortable. The show is in an equestrian center on packed dirt. The grooming is in tents outside — could be more comfortable, but obviously, I’m happy with everything up here today.
I took a photo with the iPhone, but the distance was too great. I don’t think the little Olympus would have done much better, and I did not bring the Nikon — one too many things to keep track of.
Nola is still not flexing her rear legs. She’ll get another massage after we show tomorrow. Then I need to find a way to confine her — very tricky for the flying red puppy.
I’ll check in tomorrow — and will post short results on FB.
Congrats! What a wonderful start as a special!
Whoo hoo! Roll on Team Elyan! Yay Holmes! Sorry to hear that Miss Nola isn’t feeling well. Hope her massage does her some good.
Yay Holmes!!! Congratulations!
Poor Naughty Nola…I hope she’s feeling better soon!
How exciting!!! Congratulations!!!!!!! 🙂
A splendid de-butti indeed. Way to go, Holmes! 🙂
