Well, today was the first day(well, for us, anyway.) And we did pretty good, if I do say so myself!
At 9:00a.m., I went into the ring with Danika, my Leonberger for Juniors. I'm a Novice Intermediate. I won my class(my first AKC win with competition!! whoo hoo!!) and then had to go into Best Junior Handler, where I lost to a senior, with a Newfoundland. And it was a niceee Newfy, too.
Then, at 1:15p.m., we were scheduled to go into the ring for breed. But of course, they had to put the largest class before us! That class was the Labrador Retrievers, and there were about 57! And they have alllllll these different classes, like all of the normal classes, but some of them are like 'Yellow Labs' and 'Black Labs' and finally 'Chocolate Labs'.
So finally, after two and a half hours of waiting,(by then,it was about 3:45), when we FINALLY went into the ring. I had competition, but just one other bitch.(In dogs, a bitch is a female dog.) And she beat us, but that was okay, I've beat her before, so now we're even!
Day 1 was really fun.
The pictures are not from this show, they're from other shows and times.
More tomorrow!
