Arizona shows

Just got back from Scottsdale, AZ where we had 5 days of sunshine and shows.  The first show was a Dalmatian Specialty where Sadie was WB/BOW/BOS over specials for a 5 point major to finish!  Yeah Sadie.  She is now CH MonumentalRavenwd Smart Choice RE TD.  I moved her up to BOB for the rest of the weekend. She was Best of Opposite Sex each day for 4 more majors and lots of points toward the Grand Championship title.  I never thought I would go for that, however, the entries were paid and we were there. Sadie had such a good time showing-it was great fun for both of us.  These were Brady's first shows.  I thought the outdoor shows would be a great place to let him begin to learn the ropes of showing.  He did very well and had a great time.  He loved the atmosphere.  He was WD/BOW on Sunday for a 3 point major and was WD Monday for another point.  What a great way to begin his career.  He is going to be a lot of fun to show.  He reminds me in many ways of his Great Grannie Mackie.
We stayed with friends in Glendale where he met their Bracco Italiano and a few Shar Pei.  Brady and the Brocco had such a good time playing.  He found the Shar Peis very interesting and played with one of them as well.  Sadie also got into the act.  She had played with a Pei last year, but sadly that little girl is no longer with us.  She was so excited when she saw the Peis, but looked disappointed when the one female was not her friend, Chanty.
I will post show photos when they arrive.  I also have lots of photos to go through of the dogs playing.  We really enjoyed the nice weather, but it's also good to be home.
