Happy Thanksgiving


Tucson Dog Shows November 7/8 and 13-16, 2015


Sparrow has been busy during our visit with Bree and the kids. She showed two days of The Canyons Cluster in Oro Valley, AZ, winning her class both days. It was hot and everyone was looking for shade.

What a difference a week makes!! She showed from Friday to Monday at the Coyote Classic in Tucson, AZ. We had three days of blustery weather outside and were moved inside for Monday's show. 

Sparrow had two very good days - going WB (under a judge change) on Saturday and WB/BOW/BOS on Sunday under AKC Judge Mrs. Betty-Anne Stenmark. I'm happy to tell you that while she didn't get a first place ribbon on Friday or Monday, she did get a third and a second out of a class of five. A nod is so much better than nothing at all!! It was fun for me to watch her start to relax in the ring, let her head down a bit and move out. She was expertly handled by Carri Beaver. I think she's up four points so we'll be chasing majors like a majority of our friends.

Highlight of the weekend - she enjoyed her very first Puppachino!!! (whipped cream in a cup from Starbuck's)  She won a thermal bag from Purina by going Winners Bitch on Saturday.
