Della's first show adventure
- Thread starter JanS
- Start date
Thanks everyone! It's not really as impressive as it looks with the ribbons since she was the only Doberman in the altered class, but at least she had a few dogs to go against in the BOS. We won't be able to stay long enough for the BOS tomorrow, but we'll get her in the first 2 regular classes she's pre-entered in anyway before we head out.
Oh on a side note, she's been a good little girl in the hotel and very polite and quiet, unlike some little dogs across the hall who were yipping constantly. And when we walked out of the room this morning to go potty it reeked like pee over there, so I hate to see that when hotels are going to get leery of dog policies when that happens.

Congratulations to you and Della. She looks very proud of herself posing with her ribbons. Hope you guys do as well tomorrow!
You're correct and I misphased that; there were 2 different shows going in at the same time, so she was entered in the conformation class for each show.
Thanks again everyone!

Oh, I see. So there are two shows going on per day, for the entire weekend? That's pretty awesome.

Looks impressive to me! Congratulations, sounds like the weekend has been good to you so far.
Its crazy how we can spend so long engraining something in our dogs, but when the time comes they just do as they please.
Best of luck for you tomorrow. Make sure to rep DCF hard!!

WAY TO GO DELLA GIRL.
Love the picture of you Della and your chick......How cute is that.

Aww thanks, you are all too sweet! If we were in the intact classes we wouldn't have stood a chance against Poppy and the other lady there, but we got out there and got the experience, so that's what counts. I love the UKC people and they're so friendly and nice that you can just go and talk to almost anyone and make friends with like minded dog lovers regardless of the breed. It was nice that there were a bunch from our training club there that I knew too since we haven't seen each other for a while, while our trainer has been on break (all summer 
) .
Unfortunately we weren't able to stay for today's classes since they reversed the order from yesterday so that would have meant we would have been one of the last in the ring, and I had a long drive and have to get up early for work tomorrow.
I'm sort of ticked about that since I put in for a vacation day, but one of the other gals (who has already used all of her vacation +) put in for the same day after I did and I "have" to take a ton more so I don't lose it, but I won't put the last girl on the spot to handle it herself. :confused2:
Anyway, here are a few pics from the show and the first few are from the professional photographer, who I did check to make sure it was okay to post them after I purchased them.

Another nice Dobe at the show.
I have a ton more photos, but I'm wiped out right now so I'll either upload them to an album somewhere or post a few more here tomorrow.
It was a great time and Della is wiped out after a nice big run in the woods with Dad, and to be finally be able to settle into her own king sized bed. Albert was happy as can be to see me and was literally hopping up and down when I got home. Such a good boy...
