Ripley Show Thread

[Rits]

Wow absolutely amazing!! Look at her- its crazy dobermans are just beautiful compared to other breeds. Looking at that line up (not sure if thats the right terminology), she just sticks out!

Thats the right terminology! Nancy awarded Ripley G1 previously against some of the top guardian/working breeds. We were hoping she would like her still but grown up a little more, and she does!! Its a big treat when that happens against whats considered great competition!! When Nancy said, "my best in show goes to...the doberman" he was shocked like he wasn't sure which doberman she was talking about LOL.

I think we will be taking a break from showing over the next few months. We will be moving into our first home slated for Sept/Oct so we will be busy with that and hustling to get the property ready for animals before winter is here! A little sad but it'll be good to take a step back to relax and enjoy this next step in our lives.

Congrats! Thats really exciting. I don’t think anyone would fault you on taking a break. You guys have already accomplished so much. Its clear you give it your all un raising. Ripley its quite amazing to see.

Well, I can't think of another thing to add to all the comments. Just so proud of the whole Team Ripley! I think a break is in order for everyone. Can't wait to see your new home situation unfold! Love watching Ripley grow up and you two growing with her in experiences and fun.

 

[JanS]

I'm so thrilled for you guys and with her build and the dedication you and Derrick have put into it, it's so well deserved!

 

[Rits]

Thank you guys for being some of our number 1 cheerleaders !

WOW, Ripley had another great weekend!

UKC BIS CH Melrae's Houston We Have A Problem RN CGC TKA / SPOT-ON (Ripley) went Winner's Bitch on Saturday at The Iced Tea Cluster in Muncie, IN for her first 2 points towards her AKC CH!!

Thank you Ms. Rita Biddle for recognizing our girl!

Official win photo to come when the photographer gets them posted in a few weeks. Much less "it's hot" face in those. Gotta give him a break on that haha Cause it was definitely HOT and HUMID.





The babies at the end in the lineup for WB. Ms. Riley with a puppy she's helped train to show looking great too. She's such a natural.


First time in the BOB breed ring with specials (CH and GCH). Looked good! If you zoom in she's gone hover craft mode


Being a good girl waiting ringside watching breed on Sunday.


Walking into the hotel lobby with her rainbow unicorn stuffy she earned

 

[Kaiser2016]

Wow indeed! Does she get a new stuffy every time? Lucky girl!

 

[jazzies mum]

Ripley is a wonder girl! Well all of team Ripley have put in the effort so hats off to you all. I do love the informal pic of Ripley on her hind legs resting on Dereks arm the best though. A well earned stuffy too!

 

[Rits]

Wow indeed! Does she get a new stuffy every time? Lucky girl!

For the big deal wins, yes!! Best in Show for UKC and her very first WB points win; a great thing to celebrate! Annnd she had already de-stuffed the BIS stuffy but hey, it lasted a week lol!

[Ddski5]

Hah, its still August Taking a break the next month!

 

[Viemarangelrock]

Wow! Huge congratulations

 

[LifeofRubie]

Another round of applause!! Well done!

 

[Ravenbird]

Awesome! It just gets better & better!

 

[Rits]

Their official win photo is in! I of course had to order a professionally printed pic too so that is on the way. You only get one "first points" ever! It's crazy to me how she looks here. She's still my silly girl but she's growing up (filling in) ever so slightly now and I don't get to fully see it until photos like this. Melissa said her lines are slow to mature and usually her females don't fill in until 2-3 years old.

She looks so great and you can really see how her chest popped in the 14 month photo.
