WOW what a week

The boys have had a couple great weeks.  The Sunday before we left for nationals there was a B match at Forest City Dog Training Center in Rockford.  They had 2 matches that day and  the boys made it to the best in match ring for both winning the second match.  What a great way to prep for the national show

Vizsla Club of America
National events in Huron Ohio

We arrived in Ohio on Sunday Evening and went to the play yard to let Ash run.  While in the run we met Bodi (an 11 month old Vizsla).  Bodi asked if Alex would take him in the show ring the next day. 

Al and Ash entered in Rally and got the second qualifying leg toward there novice title
 The judge had very nice things to say on the work they did in the ring


Then was time to work Bodi in the ring.  Al got Bodi about 10 min before going in and did a little work.  They went in the ring and looked great Bodi was on his best behavior for Al and they took first in the class (wow didn't see that coming)
Bodi and Al in the ring


Then into the ring with Ash and a 3rd place Yea for the Boys
