UKC Shows and CGC's!

I apologize for not updating for awhile! It's been a busy couple months.

We went to UKC shows in Minneapolis, MN on September 25, 2010 with Halle. They were hosted by the NLAEDA. No placement in show 1, but Halle took Reserve Champion in show 2 under judge David Kitredge. Silly girl closed her eyes for the picture... must have been a long day.

The following day we took both Millie and Halle to test them for their CGC's. CGC stands for Canine Good Citizen. The CGC basically tests the dog's manners in public places and around other people and stresses responsible dog ownership. The CGC consists of 10 different parts. Here's a link for more information about the CGC test.

Millie and Halle did great and both passed to earn their CGC titles! I'm very proud of both of them. Here's a picture of them with their certificates from the AKC (they are also wearing their tags that say they are CGC certified.)

We traveled up to Bemidji, MN for UKC shows October 9-10. It was the PBDTAI's first UKC show and it was a wonderful show! Great place, relaxed atmosphere, and a very fun weekend. Halle took Reserve Champion in show 2 on Saturday under judge Barbara Lauer. On Sunday she took Champion of Champions in show 1 under judge Fred Bock. This was her fourth win towards her Grand Championship! Only one more to go! Our next show, and last one for this year, is December 5-6 so we are hoping to finish up her Grand that weekend.
