Rally class and Ohio

Al and Ash have been working on rally and are excited about entering  Ash really likes it

Waiting to go back in the ring for best puppy.  Ash won for the breed YEA!!!

Saturday Al took moon in the ring for Juniors

In puppy breed ring looking good but no placement

first time ever in the rally ring not so great but  we learned alot

Sunday in the breed ring

Looking good in the juniors ring on Sunday

Belvidere

This weekend was amazing for the boys they had a 2nd place placement for juniors on Friday at Belvidere they looked great and the excitement held on for the 4 hour wait till breed and then they took 1st in 6 to 9 month puppy dog with 4 pup's in the ring WOW

Saturday at the show was a little crazy sweeps and juniors were at the same time and the sweeps judge was in no hurry so the boys had to enter the juniors ring late the judge was great we told the steward of the confliction and he talked to the judge so Al could come in late but he felt rushed and you could tell.  He did learn from the experience and knows to take his time  and use the time the judge gives you.

After the show was the double bubble at Busch farm so we went there to learn about hunt tests

                 and see how Ash would do

He loved it he found 3 quail on Saturday and on Sunday there was one by the house and he went into a really nice point ( I didn't know he could do that)

They had many things going on Sunday one was an obstacle course so they ran that and came in 2nd for the novice group

 He also got to play in the water and cool off

 The whole weekend was enough to tire anyone out

A few buisy weeks

So the last few weeks have been busy with shows, classes, and work for me ( so glad school is out for Al)

We went to 2 days at Wheaton and had a great time got alot of great tips and meet a bunch of new people Ash and Al look better every time they go in the ring

We then had a great road trip to Ohio and stayed with Ruth and Ken for 3 days of dog shows.  it was fun to visit with Pam and Rhoda and everyone in Ohio for a couple days,  the really fun thing about that trip was that Terry came with so he finally got to meet everyone also.  He had a great time.

on Friday it was a Vizsla speciality so only Ash came with to the show

On Saturday there were some warm fuzzy blankets in the car with us

Al and Ash looking great in the Ring

In Juniors he got to show Moon

1st place 6 to 9  month puppy sweeps (yea)

The whole weekend was enough to wear the pair out

Woodstock

Ash loves playing with one of his best buddy's Paul the cat

 After play time hes ready for a nap under the blanket with Al

This week was another good one for Al and Ash on Saturday they did a nice job in juniors he got 4th out of 4 but after the judge asked how old Ash is and when Al said 7 months she said he was very brave and to keep it up because when Ash gets a little older they are going to be unbeatable ( I like this judge)

On Sunday Ash and Al Looked amazing his stand was beautiful  his down and back was great he stood still for the exam the judge was taking long looks at the pair and then she walked around to the other side of the line so Al had to move to Ash's other side and the sweet little thing thought he would help Al out and turned around so Al wouldn't be on the wrong side.  The judge had to turn her head to stop from laughing but over all good day even with no placements

In breed we didn't do so well the giant Vizsla seem to beat us but that's OK we are just waiting for our chance to shine .  Ash may not be as big but he is always my favorite in the ring and when he gets a little older he's gonna kick butt until then someone has to provide the points

Next weekend Wheaton

Bloomington

After a week at Kees nationals everyone was tired out Ash was really good

Alex got a 2nd and a 3rd in juniors (out of 3) but he looked great with Moon

We had 3 fun days competing in bloomington there  wasn't very many entry's 2 class and 2 special dogs the first 2 days no Bitches and just Ash and a Special the last day

Terry had to take them on Sat. and he was very impressed with the progress they have made.  The judge that day told Al all Ash needs is a little time to Mature but that he is a really nice Pup

We looked at it as a great chance to practice. The other class dog was Gauge his owners are really nice they are going to help Alex start with Hunt Test since that is what they do most ( we are very excited)

So we were able to give Gauge 2 points (so nice of us)

Ash and Al did attract some interest by viewers when they were playing with a toy waiting for time to go in.  Alot of people asking what breed he is and how big they get

Nice stand for the judge

Alex was showing Ash all his new ribbons he likes the purple and blue ones better than the red and is going to try to collect more of those.

Next weekend Woodstock and it looks like a 3 point major on Sunday we may need some luck but you never know.

Keeshond Nationals

The trip to nationals was a packing adventure try to fit everything you need for a week and 250 filled hospitality bags into the Tahoe

 75 in 175 to go

 waiting like a good boy near moon during agility

Moon relaxing in the room

 play time with Heidi in the room

both boys all tired out 

another weekend another show

Well no show on Saturday for Ash and Al since big brother nick had prom

But Sunday had loads of fun for the pair it was a speciality so there were 48 Vizslas at the show

Vizslas Vizslas everywhere but none as cute as Ash

Ash won 6 to 9 months sweeps Yea Ash and Al

Each puppy got a toy so Ash decided to pick his own

They didn't do as good in breed Ash seems to get tired and decides he would rather relax but that's OK hes just a puppy and it needs to be fun for all so we will just keep going in there and having as much fun 

once again on the way home bonding time
