All in A Fun Match

Yesterday I headed down to Spanaway with Freya and Loki for the Puyullap Valley Dog Fanciers  fun match. The fun match is a dog show that isn't for points and is much more relaxed than a normal show...you can wear whatever you want instead of a stuff suit which was great for the hot weather. The show is intended for people to get some experience on their puppies since they have various puppy classes including 3-6 month puppy and open class.

For Loki the show was merely practice for an upcoming show that I'll be showing him myself in since he hadn't been in the ring with me in over 8 months and ended up picking up a sporting group 3. The highlight of the day and reason we went to it was for little Miss Freya. This was in fact her very first time being in a show ring and learning how to be a show girl. I'm not really sure she figured anything out other than she got lots of attention and ran around for treats but that's ok, you gotta start somewhere. Freya had a good show and ended up earning a sporting puppy group 3 for her very first show ribbon. I'm looking forward to seeing her compete for real in a few more months for real points.
