Sue Prentice reports: After about two and a half years of only doing local shows in the Hampton Roads area I was finally able to finish “Levi” ( Quillquest K-Nine Krusader) at the Virginia Beach show this last Sunday. I didn’t start until he was about 3 years old. He is my first and only dog that I have shown. We are hoping to get another at some point and start from a pup. It’s really been a lot of fun.

Marty, Colin and I traveled to the MAFCRC Supported Entry in Bloomsburg, PA. I am happy to report that “Piper” (Ch Blazin’s Enchanted Forest CD RA AX AXJ NAP NJP) won Best Veteran in Sweepstakes and her daughter Chilly (Ch Blazin’s Ice Mountain CGC) won Winners Bitch and Best of Winners for a 5 point major and her CHAMPIONSHIP!! What a fun fall it has been!

10/26/08 “Diggor” – CH Rowansgaard Diggory Venn CD NA NAJ MH WCX ATTS earned two MH legs in the spring and his final three legs this fall at the Central New York Retriever Club, Potomac Valley Golden Retriever Club , and Yadkin River Waterfowl Retriever Club.

I traveled to Canada in September with 3 Dogs to show at 3 All-Breed Shows and 1 Specialty!! What an adventure it turned out to be!

Day 1: Burlington KC All Breed Show – I started off the show with “Eagle” (Ch Salasana Double Arrow CD RA JH OA AXJ HOF) winning RWD and finished it with “Chilly” (Blazin’s Ice Mountain) winning Winners Bitch, Best of Winners and Best Of Opposite for 5 pts! Chilly and Eagle picked up 4 rosettes and 4 trophies!!

Day 1: FCRSC Veteran Sweepstakes – That afternoon “Piper” (Ch Blazin’s Enchanted Forest CD RA AX AXJ NAP NJP) placed 2nd in the 7-9 Sweeps class. Another rosette and cash!!

Day 2: Burlington KC All Breed Show – To make sure it wasn’t a dream and to keep me grounded I picked up no ribbons at all! 🙂

Day 2: FCRSC Dogs and Bitches – Later in the day was the start of the specialty. Eagle placed 4th in a large Open Dog class and Piper placed 2nd in the Veteran Bitch class. Three more rosettes (2 for Veterans) and 2 trophies.

Day 3: Burlington KC All Breed Show – At this show I went back to believing in dreams. Eagle placed 3rd in the Open Dog class and Chilly won Winners Bitch and Best of Winners for 5 more points. So 2 more rosettes and 2 trophies!!

At the end of my 3 day trip, I picked up 10 rosettes, 8 trophies and enough points for Chilly to be a Canadian Championship. Now I just need to take her to Canada one more time to get her 3rd judge. They don’t let you finish in 2 shows!! It was a trip that dreams are made from!!
