Sometimes, you're the bug. Larsen played the bug today. Meghen showed up with Starbuck in tow and proceeded to take Best of Breed. Larsen came in 4th. I'd love to say that it was all the handler's fault, since someone pinch-hitter for Katie, but the lady did a very fine job with the dog. I always want Larsen to win these beauty pageants because I want the world to understand what a wonderful little guy he is. But different judges look for different aspects of the dog. (Some breeders think Larsen is too big, for example.)
Sly the boykin takes Best of Winners
On an altogether more upbeat note, Kim's boykin Sly took Best of Winners for a 5-point major win. Sly has 8 points now and he's only been in two different shows (understand that any one weekend will have 2 or even 3 shows, like this one, so I mean something like 6 total showings for little Sly). Sly's wins are coming right here in the middle of boykin country against some good competition. We had a nice time cluck-clucking about the fact that some of those other boykins had probably never had a mouthful of feathers. They were lap dogs!
Kim's boykin Peach didn't win anything, though she is a fine looking critter. Kim thought that her sun-bleached kennel coat didn't help.
Kim's dogs might be a little country, but they certainly move with verve and assurance.
