December 2004

With the holidays in the air, we only
attended one show this month in St. Cloud, MN. Star
earned her first AKC points under judge Betty Duding.
This was on Saturday, December 11th, she was also awarded
Best of Opposite Sex to her Uncle Radar.

What a great experience we had at the
VCA Nationals. Everyone looked great, acted great and
gained valuable experience. The highlight of the weekend
was Star winning her 6-9 month Sweepstakes class. A
very special thank you to Jessica Vetter for taking her in
so I could take Liz in.

On Saturday, November 6, Gunnar was awarded Winner's Dog by
judge Mr. Dana Cline. This made him a new Champion! He is
now CH Kiss Me Quick, Gunnar Go. We couldn't be more thrilled
for the him as it has been a roller coaster ride to get him
here.
Also on Saturday, Liz was awarded Reserve Winner's Bitch.
For their second time out, all of the puppies looked terrific.
Now on to Fort Worth! Mommy had to show Radar on Saturday,
but he earned Best of Opposite Sex. On Sunday with Dave on
the lead, he earned Best of Breed under Mr. Eugene Blake.

Right now we are still
working on getting mom's Trisha and Bell to also join
us down south. Whether or not they are able
to join us, we are promised to have
a great time in Texas with our upcoming dogs and Radar. Plus,
it will be great to see old friends
again and make new ones. Last year in Charlotte was
a learning experience, we hope to make this year in Ft. Worth
an unforgettable time. We'll be seeing
y'all ya hear!

On their first day possible to show,
6-months-old, Star, Liz and Riddick made their ring debuts
in Sioux Falls, SD on Sunday, October 24th. Each of them won
their respective classes and received many compliments from
Judge Patricia Trotter about being happy, and well trained.
Mother Bell was also there and won her class. Riddick was
awarded Reserve Winner's dog which was a thrill. Liz was awarded
Winner's Bitch, which was a super feeling for the day, but
then to top it off, she went into breed and moved so flawlessly
that Mrs. Trotter awarded her Best of Breed, this gave her
a 5-point major going over a 2x BIS winner, a Specialty winner,
and 2 other specials, including Uncle Radar. Radar was awarded
Best of Opposite. This was a great start for all of these
young dogs.
