| 2011 August 2011 Maybe just a few updates(!) Our show schedule was interrupted by my planning for a big move to Southern California! A dream job fell in my lap and I grabbed the opportunity. We still attended a few ASCA shows in the Midwest before we left and as a result, Kylie ended up #1 bitch and #2 overall in ASCA's Altered Merit Standings. And Tripper was no slouch ... with some tough competition across the country, he ended up #5 dog and #8 overall in the Intact Standings. Both dogs in the Top Ten - a dream come true! We moved to Costa Mesa in early June and haven't attended but a few shows. Tripper took BOB at a show in San Diego with 10 specials in the ring - yay! Next stop, the 2011 ASCA Nationals in September. March 2011 A mix of local shows and some travel and both my kids did great, including winning as A-BOB and BOB bookends at the HWASC show under ASCA Sr Breeder judge Janet Kelly! Kylie and I step into the Rally ring after a 4 year absence and Kylie promptly gets her ASCA RN. On the bad news front, having the transmission fail in my trusty Windstar made for a couple tense weeks until I purchased a new minivan - yay! February 2011 The kids and I make our 2nd annual pilgrimage to a TX ASCA show. Tripper makes consistent cuts for BOB with almost a dozen specials, and Kylie takes 3 ABOBs and 2 ABOS wins. Fun show with the #1 ASCA altered dog Toby Keith and Kylie, the #2 altered dog! At the Upper Midwest ASC yearly banquet, Kylie was named Altered Champion Bitch of the Year and Tripper was named Intact Champion Dog of the Year - good going kids! January 2011 The year starts out with a bang at the AKC Land O' Lakes Kennel Club. Tripper takes a major select win towards his AKC Gr Ch at the Friday show, then takes BOB at the Sunday show in an entry of 52 Aussies including 11 specials for another Gr Ch major, then we take our first Group placement! Group 3 for Tripper and I - wow!! The fun keeps on coming at the January UMASC show were Kylie picks up 2 ABOB and 2 ABOS wins and Tripper takes two BOB wins! |
