first things first, we had about a dozen dogs show up. Rose won almost every class- biggest ears, longest tail, fluffiest, etc so we finally just had to pull her and not enter her anymore because we felt bad for the other dogs.
We raced all the paps and Summer won(Rose came in last)- she's the fastest one there! Racing papillons is quite interesting I think it should be a new sport! I didn't get any pictures unfortunately because I was on the other side of the field. But she was also the only one that didn't have to have someone hold her. I sat her in a stay and then called her.
My breeder couldn't come, it turns out they had pups born today. Originally they thought they'd be born in a week but found out at the vets that she was due earlier than they originally thought. so they had four pups- two girls and two boys. Sire is a black and white gorgeous boy and the dam is a red and white. One girl is marked almost identical to Rose and the other is a mismark with a white face. One of the boys has a crooked blaze and the other has a big wide one. I'm hoping she gets a good show prospect out of one of the boys. It's been a long time since she's had a litter. I'm hoping I can go over and visit the pups in a few weeks.
Overall went well. Ours were about half the size of those others! I thought we should've snuck Trey in for a papillon since he was the same size as the rest of them. Everyone kept asking if we were breeders, which I found kind of amusing.
Beau and Jake, our friend's dog. Our friends were looking for a dog (they had decided on a golden), then met Beau and decided they needed a dog like Beau, so they ended up with Jake.
