Lotta BOB june 09

I had not seen the dogs for a whole month when I came home from USA on friday......  They were having fun with friends and looking good  - and Lotta was out of coat and Ísi was dropping his in big lumps......   and of course there was a show on saturday/sunday.

Guy Jeavons of kennel Grandgables in Canada was judging shelties so I simply had to enter them both and take them to the show, even if their coat was not in the best condition.  I was stewarding in another ring, so Sóley prepared them both for the ring and Lára, my friend and aussie/border collie breeder, took the dogs in for me and Lotta finished up BOB with her first CC and Ísi got a CK and 2.best dog.  Sóley's Moli was BOS and got his second CC.  

Lotta's report was really nice and Mr. Jeavons talked very kindly about her after the show. Kudos to him.  This is probably the only show I am taking Ísi to, so I'm even more happy with his results. Thanks to Sóley, Lára and Auður (who bathed Lotta and took her into the big ring) for their help with everything!!!

Best in show was a beautiful irish setter bitch - not surprising as she was really having her day in the ring, beautifully handled by her breeder/owner.

According to my account, out of 7 siblings of Felix, 4 have cc's and one more has a ck plus a best puppy in show title.

I believe six matings are planned this fall - our luck maybe turning!!
