Gabby Update time :). Gabby went to the AKC Invitational in Florida, made it to the finals and placed 3rd in the 20” class!   Way to go Gabby. After the Invitational we went to the Collie Cub of America Specialty in Peoria, Ill and she had another great National. She went RHIT in Advanced A duck in herding, finished her Intermediate B Course duck title, she QQ in agility - winning both classes and taking High in Trial in agility, placed in Open B I Obedience. She won the Herding Titled class in conformation which led to her placing second in the Most Versatile Collie competition!  She was wonderful!

After we returned from the National she was invited by the AKC to compete in the first ever  Premier Cup in New York. What a wonderful evening it was - competing with the best dogs and handlers in the Nation!

 

Topper (CH Riverrun Galatean Wyndham’s Top Contender HSAs, AX, OAJ, RN VXA) also had a really good National for such a young dog - not even two yet. He finished his HSAs title and picked up a bumper leg. He also had some great runs in agility - finishing his Excellent Standard title and picking up his first Excellent Jumpers leg - winning the class!

Our baby girl Cricket tagged along but only showed in breed. She placed 4th in a class of 23 - (9-12 month sable bitches) She currently has 7 points including a 5 pt Best in Specialty show win - also from the 9-12 month class.
