Show Photos of Jackie and Victory

Here are some show pictures of Jackie (LLL Victory Hit the Jackpot) and Victory (CH Atlantis Wildcat Victory.)  We are so proud of Jackie for getting a major win at her very first show.  Some of our next endeavors will be to finish Victory's grand champion title, he has 29 GCH points with two majors, finish Jackie and Dodger to champion titles, try to find barn hunt events, and work on Road Dog titles for Vegas and Victory.  These dogs are so smart and have coaching ability built in, and they love mouse hunting in the horse barn and feed shed, so I think going to a barn hunt event would be super fun for them.

Dalmatian Movement

I am particularly pleased with the pretty movement of our first LLL Victory Dalmatian litter.  Nice tail carriage, level topline, nice reach in front and drive from the rear, but no overreaching, and they have joyful, happy movement.  Here are some really nice shots of our dogs' movement.  I am so excited about how nice the puppies move, and how smart they are.

Show Results for this Weekend

We had a nice weekend showing dogs, camping, and visiting and eating with our Dalmatian friends.  The dogs love going camping and taking long walks in new and interesting places.  The puppies went to their first real dog show where they were entered for points.  Victory also went along for best of breed competition.  Victory nailed Select Dog all 3 days of the show, and that was an accomplishment, because Jackie was in season and he had to travel with her to the show and stay in the same camper with her, the entire show.  So, way to go, Vic, you were awesome!  Here is Victory and son, Dodger, with Victory showing off his 3 Select ribbons.

Now, let's talk about Dodger.  What an obstinate little man he was!  The first night, he had an absolute fit when the judge walked up to him.  The judge was nice, and had him gait around the ring, hoping that would settle him.  No, he had a second fit, barking, whining, crying, and would not let me or the judge examine his bite.  So, he was excused.  We pulled him from showing the rest of the weekend, and just took him to the show, let him meet lots of people, had lots of people touching him, and want to thank Lori, Deby, Brittnee, Jana, Brooke, Ed, Don, and all of the others who petted him over the three days.  We have work to do, but he will be back in the ring, and he will be competitive.  We got lots of nice compliments on what a nice boy he is.  He has had lots of training, and of all of the puppies, he has had the most handling, with him being the most popular of all of the puppies with all of our visitors.  He's been to Petsmart puppy class, to the flea market, to six conformation handling classes, and has had lot of visitors pet him and hold him, and spend time with him.  But, he has quite the attitude about who he likes and doesn't like.  So, lots more work will be going on with him before he's back in the ring.

Jackie was quite a hit with everyone.  She has a sweet personality and loves everybody.  Her very first time out, she took winners bitch for a major.  The second day, she was also winners bitch, but no major the second day.  Today, the third and last day, she was reserve winners bitch.  What a good, pretty girl!  There were some very nice girls entered.  So nice to get points her first weekend out!  Thank you to everybody who entered and came to the show this weekend, especially those who came a long way, we appreciate that very much!  Here are pictures of Jackie with her winnings.

Jackie, saying do I have to open my eyes for this picture?

 

 

And, now for the best picture of all.  This is what makes all the work and tears of raising these puppies worth it in the end.
