Acadia Everyone's Opinion, "Trestle"

I had Joel McCarty show Trestle. I was hoping he would get a placement with her, but her class was very large and she did make the cut. She showed her heart out. It was really fun to watch as I saw just how much she enjoys the team aspect of showing. When Joel stopped paying attention to her, she would do something to get his attention again. She just loved it when he was her partner. I love dogs that love to show. It certainly makes the whole activity more fun, and I enjoy the partnership and the competition.

Acadia Popular Opinion "Tecla" 4th place in the Bred-by Exhibitor class

Tecla placed 4th in a large Bred-by exhibitor class. She can be such a challenge to show, but I had my friend, Kathy McFall, groom her up- and then when she made the cut, Kathy sat with her (and I walked away) until we went back in the ring. I think it really helped a lot. Tecla went out to the end of her lead and moved beautifully- as long as we were going forward. She gave me a bit of trouble on the individual down and back, but she held it together enough- and had a few really beautiful moments. I was So Proud of her. I love Tecla and I was very proud of this placement.
