Congratulations to Rainey! She is now an International Champion through IABCA with all 4 V1 ratings!

I am traveling up to MI to see my family the last week of July and also attend my first IABCA show. I am bringing Rainey who is retired and this will be her last "whoorah" before she is spay. I entered her in open class and veteran so both my daughter and I can handle her. This will be fun! Cymba attended her first AKC shows on the 15th & 16th of July and did very well. She was a bit worried when we first arrived but puppy training paide off and was gaiting around the ring and standing for the exam pretty well. I can't say she really enjoyed herself but we will see as time goes on if showing is her thing. We will be breeding her and are deciding on the stud now.

We showed Henry for a few shows in June and he did super! The boy could show for hours in blazing heat and still have his tail going! He took Reserve to a MAJOR his 2nd show~!!. Way to go Henry Bo Benry!
