Chateauguay Weekend.

It was a hot and muggy weekend!  27 - 32 degrees celcius... not a good day to be in the middle of nowhere in a farmers field with 2 shelties.....  My GOD!!  From 7 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.

Although not a huge entry.... the experience was eventful and very useful.  We learned alot about our pups over the course of the weekend.... what "show" pace are best for each of them, what they liked and didn't like, sound sensitivity (one really hates little motocross bikes).  Brianna was able to groom her baby Charlotte from head to toe for all 4 shows and show her - Bria, you did a bang up job!

Charlotte




Lily - just happy happy happy


The first 2 shows it was between Charlotte and Lily, Lily going WB (1pt), BPIB - Charlotte RWB.

The last shows (#3 and #4) Lily going RWB, BPIB for the 3rd show, and then WB, BPIB for the 4th show.


All 4 days however, Lily took Best Puppy in Group!  Pictures will be coming in 2 weeks. The other 3 pictures will be coming in about 2 weeks from now on Lily's web page.


"You did not disappoint miss charlotte... I still love you"

This is one of Charlottes fav. positions with brianna - for hours!!


HObbes (in background enjoying his spoiling)
(woman on side - my mom... too hot!!)

In between shows... catching up on sleep.... drinking lots of water... and doing NOTHING, cause sweat was running down your face from just breathing.

Portia's son, "HObbes" was in our care and seemed to like the experience as well. Such a well behaved baby.... Loves to be with people!!!

Thanks Dan for the pics of Lily and Charlotte in the ring.
 
Our camp site was a haven relief... out of the sun... under huge pin trees, with a great breeze coming through.
 



the nights were cool enough for the Girls to enjoy their camp fire - and had a few visitors.
