BIT O’BLARNEY BADONKADONK

I went up to the NNASC show in Carson City, NV in August. It was quite a road trip for little Tush! To a 6 month old baby, the world is pretty amazing! Tush did very well with the long trip, and was very well received at the show. It was very hot, and very windy on Friday, then on Saturday the heat & humidity went way up as a storm front was moving in. She went RWB on Friday! I was thrilled that she was competitive with the mature bitches. Then on Saturday afternoon, she was WB, and on to BoW! It was a 4 point major, one dog shy of 5 points!! Now THAT was a thrill! She knew something was up and that little fuzzy tush was really wiggling!! We decided to pack up after the show on Saturday and get ‘down the mountain’ and take the dogs to the river to swim and then head home. This little girl is a Tanner daughter out of Chilly, and I am SO proud of her. She is just in the 6-9 class so she has a fun show season ahead of her.
Little Bubbles, (AKA Bit O’Blarney Effervescence) went to her first show this past weekend. It was a zillion degrees in Santa Nella. Regardless, she had fun, which is the idea, right? She was accompanied by her two 1/2 sisters, Tush (Bit O’Blarney Badonkadonk) and Eyes (Bit O’Blarney Bluetiful) and of course Dad, Tanner (AKC/ASCA Ch Heatherhill Dazzle Me Montana DNA-VP CGC) The whole thing, of traveling, being confined to ex-pens, seeing different things, all need to be OK for a dog who may be a show dog. It is a learning process. All the girls were well received, and Tush won a large class, and came in second in the others, with her sister, Eyes coming in right behind her. The only less than thrilled member of the group was Dad, who is NOT used to sharing his trailer, his Mom, or the attention with anydog. He will get over it, because he really does enjoy his puppies..I have added a picture of Bubbles, so you can see what HER opinion was of her first dog show.
