Dog Handler Debut

This past weekend we headed to the Seattle Kennel Club dog show with both Odin and Loki for another round of showing. Odin had spent the week with his handler, Kevin Chestnut in preparation for the shows so we were looking forward to seeing him and bringing him home for a few weeks before the next round of shows.

We had hoped that this would be the weekend we would finish Odin's championship title since this weekend pulled major's on both days and that is what Odin needs to finish. Sadly Odin took third in his class both days and will now be heading to shows in Oregon in April in pursuit of his major's.

This weekend was also a big one for Loki and me asI made my dog handler debut. I've decided to give dog showing a whirl and show the little man myself. Saturday we did quite well for my first handling experience and took 1st place in our puppy class despite my missteps with stacking him for the judge. Sunday we took second place since Loki was a little wild and wound up for no reason other then he's a puppy.

Next up is the Peninsula Dog Fancier's Club show in Bremerton on the 27th for Loki's next show so we'll see how that goes and then both boys are headed to the Chintimini Kennel Club shows in Albany on April 2nd & 3rd.
