The Newnan show is the closest thing to a home meet that is available to me. Unfortunately, it is a LONG drive for sweet Catie. She was wonderful and brought FOUR bitches to the show. Crystal and Bob brought three more. Basically, they made a major and they made it a long way from home. Thanks guys.

For my part, I brought Lexus, and she wore her Mother's lead. That is a pretty bold move. Morrigan's lead has never lost Winner's on a Saturday. Trojan wore it when I felt he was ready to win and he didn't lose for nearly a year. I think Lexus is MORE than ready. She drops off pretty badly after she has a litter and it takes a little time for her to get back to form. She has had her time and she is gorgeous.

It didn't hurt that Norlee Reece was handling her. To make a long story short, she won Winner's on Saturday and Sunday and earned her first two majors. She now has eight points. Pictures will follow.

I was impressed by several of the dogs at the show. Catie has a couple of very nice girls in Gracie and Gidget. Crystal has a nice boy in Brandon. He won Winner's dog both days. There were a couple other nice girls but I didn't get their names.

Finally there was Jennifer and Sandra's Mira. She is going to do very well. Jennifer is a little sensitive about the length of Mira's muzzle but she is going to do just fine. Mira won Bred-by both days, one of three.

Okay, whatever comes after finally, Catie's Reba EASILY wins the most improved award. She was WONDERFUL! I really enjoyed just being around her. Her top line has improved a ton, she has lost a little weight and she was excited to be there. You should have seen her pulling Catie around the ring! It was awesome!
