On the weekend of May 12-13, 2018 the Sand Spring gang competed in the Dodge County Canine Club UKC conformation show. Three of Glory’s offspring were entered along with Gambler. Gambler and Josey are Grand Champions already, they were competing for their Total Dog recognition and Top Ten points. Riggs and Guilty are Champions already competing for their Grand Champion title.

Riggs was picked for the winner of the Champion class against Guilty in one of the two shows on Saturday. Riggs and Josey also competed in the Brace class at the end of the breed showing. Brace is where you have two like dogs showing at the same time by one person. They need to move the same and look the same while showing. Riggs and Josey won the brace class in show 2.

Gambler was picked for winner of the Grand Champion class over Josey in show 2, he then went Best of Breed which made him eligible for his Total Dog recognition. This is the picture after the first day of Conformation and Rally Obedience.

Guilty was picked for the winner of the Champion class against Riggs in show 2, she was also awarded two reserves on Saturday.

On Sunday she was picked for the winner in the Champion class for each show over Riggs. The first show step sister Josey was picked for the Best of Breed and Guilty received reserve. Show two Guilty was picked Best of Breed over Josey. This picture is after Sunday’s dog show.

We won the Brace class in show 2 on Saturday.

Brace class was the highlight of Saturdays shows. Tom tried to show Riggs and Josey together but Riggs thought he needed to breed Josey during the class and wasn’t listening to Tom. I decided to take on the task and pulled it off. The judges were great and the spectators were having a great time watching. In show two the judge asked me to go around the ring again, she was smiling away and Tom asked her if she had me going around again just for fun and the judge nodded and smiled bigger. It was so much fun, I will admit we never practiced, it was a spur of the moment thing and I had no idea what I was doing but it was fun and that is all that mattered and we pulled off a win and a very cool basket donated by the club.

A great weekend was had by all!
