AKC Events & News

No exciting news from the show rings as of late... but we were out lure coursing
last weekend at the WVBC trials and Jester earned his JC title! It was an
incredibly hot and sticky day (in the 90's), but the hounds had a blast just being
there. Those who weren't entered in the trial got to run practices at the end of the
day and TK showed us he still has the heart to run like the champ he is! Too bad
he's so possessive of the bags. Even his daughter Twist had that little issue pop
up at this trial! Oops! Guess she'll take a timeout from racing to get an attitude
adjustment before the AKC National trial in September! Guess the heat got to
everyone that day.

Also, we wanted to give mention to a sweet little red and white basenji boy
named Kermit (Fataki's Bein' Green) who Shelby is now handling for his breeder,
Dana MacDonald of Fataki. Kermie (or Squirmie as I like to call him...) came to
our house previously for doggy bootcamp when he had a few insecurity issues
and has become quite the little gentleman. Shelby handled him in Sweeps and
the 6-9 puppy class at the WVBC Specialty and placed 3rd in both out of a class
of ten in each. Kermie will be tagging along with us to the EBC/WWHA shows in
August too... stay tuned for updates and pics!
