Topper waits his turn.



Well, we did it!! We made it through the weekend dog shows without a major hitch. Everyone got their first ribbon. Ava, the beautiful female owned by Emily Pikul and Greg Siner,(she was living in New Jersey -now lives in Mass) was only entered in Friday's Dog Show. She won her first blue ribbon on Friday. Emily was helping handle Satchmo on Saturday and Sunday, so she decided not to enter Ava in those shows. Satchmo (Mallyree All That Jazz) won his first blue ribbon for Puppy Dog 6-9 months Class, Harley (Mallyree Here Comes The Son) won his first blue ribbon for Novice Owner Handler Class, and Topper (Mallyree Top O The Mornin') won his first blue ribbon for Bred by Exhibitor Class. (Just need to mention that they were the only ones in their respective classes, we planned it that way so that they would each have at least two times in the ring to be seen and get the experience of being handled and shown. The Judges got a better look at each this way)
Satchmo was the big winner both days! He beat his brothers winning the Blue Ribbon for Winners Dog (meaning that he beat the other male non-champion dogs.)
I brought my camera, with great intentions of getting wonderful shots of us all--not happening! I was too busy and totally forgot, but thanks to Al and Marcia Newstadt, Satchmo's parents, we are able to post the pictures above!
The weekend was exciting and exhausting and strangely enough we are all looking forward to doing this again...Harley and Topper are now working harder in hopes of "beating" their brother Satchmo and having Ava join them in the next show!
I'll keep you posted!
