Raleigh, NC

We traveled to Raleigh, NC this past weekend to compete in 3 very competetive shows. We didn't win any points but did place 2nd in our class out of 4 Saturday. This placement was a big accomplishment for Mia and me since we were up against some top dogs and handlers. Our next big show is the futurity in April. We are starting a conformation class next week to help us get ready!

Erin and Remi traveled with us and made their Rally debut! They qualified all 3 days and earned their Rally Novice title! Not bad for a new dog handler and 8 month old vizsla!

Debbie and Sky were also there. Sky earned the first 2 legs or her Rally Novice title (and will compete for her last leg at the Nationals in May).

Debbie and Sky also went Best Bitch in Sweepstakes on Saturday! Great job you two!

2 for 2: Mia's trip to Charleston

We met up with Debbie and Sky (Grayhart Lightfoot Early Morning Rain, JH, TD), half-sister to Mia, in Charleston for some shows. Big congrats to Debbie and Sky who won a 4 point major on Saturday!!! Mia also earned the first 2 legs of her novice rally title this weekend. We didn't make it for conformation in time Saturday, but we did make it in time Sunday. Mia didn't win any points but we had a great time, showed well, and can't wait to do it again!

Showing off our rally ribbon!

Don't be so serious girls!
