May Shows

In early May, Nick (Gr. Ch. Always National Treasure) traveled to Albuquerque, New Mexico, with his handler, Paige McCarver. Nick took Best of Breed two days earning more points toward his Bronze Grand Championship! New show photo to come!

Over Memorial Day weekend, Odie (Always on the Go) was at the Hangtown Kennel Club shows in California with his handler, Brigette Isham.  Odie added another major to his count - 9 points now including both majors!  Here is a photo of Odie taken in the Fall.  New show photo to come!

Austin Shows - April 12th-13th, 2014

We had a total entry of 13 at the local Austin shows in April.  Clint (Gr Ch Always Make My Day) was our super-star this particular weekend.  Nancy and Dave brought him back out after a year or so off and took Best of Breed on Saturday and Best of Opposite Sex on Sunday.  We had a large group set up together and had a great time!

After we finished showing on Saturday, most of the Standard Schnauzers in our group went down and did the Barn Hunt Instinct test.  This is where the dog has to jump up on a bale of hay, go through a tunnel of hay and then figure out which of  3 containers contains the RAT and alert the handler by their behavior.   No problem!!!  Stoli, Wyatt, and Diva all did great as did most of the other SS!
