Bragging Rights

Last but not least

Sighthound breeder judge, Jan Buchanan gave Robyn Best of Winners at the Club Canin de Chomedy show in Laval on September 20, 2009 for her last point.

Phew!

On to Coursing

One more down....

...and one more to go

Robyn was Best of Winners at the Cornwall & District KC show on September 05, 2009 under sighthound breeder, Maida Puterman

Inching Closer

We incorporated three days of shows into our 2009 Maritime vacation by attending the Fredericton Kennel Club shows on July 25/26/27. After behaving like a total goof ball on the Friday, she got her act together and took Winners Bitch on Saturday and Sunday under judges Rita Walker and Sandra Goose-Allen respectively for two more points. The other entry was a VERY PRETTY petite female.

Robyn was quite happy to exchange the show ring in NB for the beach in PEI

Back to the Show Ring

Tempted by two sets of points in one day, we entered the CASA Sighthound Specialty show and Kars Community Recreation Association dog show on July 19. 2009

Thora Brown, judging the Specialty gave Robyn Winners Bitch, Best of Winners, Best of Breed for three more points - we were thrilled to say the least

We did not do anything in the regular show but that is OK - Robyn celebrated on Monday playing with the Grand Children

Promising First Runs

Robyn made a very promising coursing debut in Singles Stakes at the OCLA Meet near Cayuga Ontario on June 27/28 2009

Despite losing the lure (distracted by a noisy pulley) and only running half the course in the preliminary run on Saturday, she ran well enough in the final to earn enough total points to be NBQ (next best qualifier - 5th place)

On Sunday there were no mistakes and she "ran like stink" in the Prelims and the Finals to take first place in the Singles Stakes.

We did try a pre-certification run with her on Sunday afternoon but she was intimidated by the presence of another dog in the field so will be running Singles until her confidence builds (she is a very submissive girl).

First Points

Although I am sure she would sooner have been coursing with mom, pop and brother Rupert at the CanAm, Robyn managed to keep four on the floor and go Winners Bitch and Best of Winners for 3 points at the QUON Specialty in St. Lazare, QC on May 16, 2009 under judge Bob Rowbotham.
