VETERAN CLASS 9+

VN.Am.Can.CH Kloofbear's Mystic Seaport CD, DD, WRD, RN, CGC/TDI, Can. CD, DD

"Oslo"

Oslo (3rd dog) was the oldest dog in this class, he was nearly 3 years older then most.

But he shined with happiness like a champion and good sport, that he is.

I was choked up our whole time in the ring, because I just wanted it to be a happy time for him.

We may never be seen in the ring together again, but we had a great time in the Veteran Class.

I'm so proud of this old guy or rather "Mr. Special" as my husband calls him.

NOVICE DOG CLASS

Amorosa's Go Your Own Way  "Mac"

This is Mac, he lives in a wonderful companion home.

His owner Debbie, was asked not to trim Mac, since Jan 2008.

But Yikes, were do I start. Mac resembles a piece of a jigsaw puzzle.

above: Mac, starting to look like a show dog ;)

Presenting: Amorosa's Go Your Own Way  "Mac"

Mac competed in the Novice dog class.

Having come straight out the box, Mac showed like natural!

His confirmation, movement & attitude says it all.

Thursday was another great day, both in and out of the ring.

But under the grooming tent, it was business as usual.
