A K9 Moment in Time

It's the end of the day on May 4, 2007. I'm just floating....because a dog that I co-own with my friends Gail and Marte earned a Group 3 in the Sporting Group at the Badger KC Dog Show in Jefferson, WI today!!

This is so thrilling for me because it's only the 3rd Group placement I have ever earned in my show career (having won a Group 4 in 2000 and a Group 3 in 2002). I have made a couple "cuts" in the group, but this was a great win!!

River has been shown only 4 times in AKC sporting group rings. The first time, he was chicken. The second time, he didn't get a look, the third time he made a "cut" in a Sporting Group in Fond du Lac 2 weekends ago and then today, a Group 3. Not too shabby for a just two-year old Gordon!!

What a thrill!!
