Busy Spring (Part 2) - Conformation

Going from earthdog to conformation in one week's time, Arie was entered in the Crawford County Kennel Club dog shows in Bucyrus, Ohio on May 5 and 6.

At 13 months of age, Arie is still a young dog ... his body is maturing but he still has a puppy brain seems like.  And, even though we have been attending conformation classes since he was around 3 months old, we are still very much working on gaiting around the ring without pulling and freestacking for more than a handful of seconds.  Arie does a great job on the table for the judge's exam (thank goodness!) so the floor work continues to be what we need to work on.

At the Bucyrus shows, I thought Arie was finally starting to 'get it' with regard to the gaiting.  He went Best of Breed both days and was Best of Breed Owner Handler on Saturday (only day it was offered).  On Saturday, Arie ended up with a Group 2 in the Owner Handler Terrier competition and a Group 3 in the regular Terrier Group.  On Sunday, Arie received a Group 4 in the regular Terrier Group.

    My dogs and I participate in agility, earthdog, rally obedience, and conformation events. Additionally, both Reggie and Halo passed the American Kennel Club Canine Good Citizen (CGC) test and Halo has been certified as a therapy dog.  But most of all, my dogs are my housemates, companions, and bed warmers.
