Well, it's that time of year again. Might as well start a new part of the site at the start of the show season. Kinda great timing.
We have the Plum Creek Kennel Club/Colorado Kennel Club shows starting Friday, with the Front Range Australian Shepherd Assc. Specialty on Thursday. These shows are the biggest the state, and seem to be the ones that take the most out of you.
5 days on concrete, going up and down stairs doesn't appeal to me much, but seeing good friends and great dogs makes us hit the show every year.
Unfortunatley, at the specialty, they don't have Veterans, so our Namesake Hotshot will not "represent" for us on the Breed Level. But he will be there with a Junior Handler friend of ours, Alyssa who is an excellent handler. Hotshot will be happy to show again, and we wish them the best of luck.

Brodie, Hotshot's son, will be entered the entire weekend in the Open Red classes, this will be his 1st time in Open in the AKC rings and the competition is defiatenly there. Hopefully he will succeed in the rings. Like any dog show, you never know what will happen, and you can only hope you are a contender.

We decided to not enter Cappy, as it doesn't make sense to compete our boys against each other to us for points, and Cappy is just turned 1 year, and not quite ready to show. But Cappy's sister will be there entered in Junior Showmanship with Dani her handler, and Dani has also entered her in either Rally or Obedience. I can't remember which. But Kellie (the dog) just turned a year old on the 22nd of January. Last weekend Dani took Kellie to a fun match and they earned a respectable 98 out of 100 in Rally..Way to go Girls!!
We wish Kellie and Dani the best of luck as well.
