It's August 31 & Sept 3. In Grass Valley, CA. Offering Conformation, sweepstakes, obedience, juniors and a whole lot of fun! Anyone going? The premium just came out, obedience entries are limited. It is held in conjunction with the Gold County KC all-breed shows, which usually draws a good amount of labs, and great breeder-judges.
We hope alot of you attend, I will see you all there!
I'll be there with Monty! I loved this show last year- such a beautiful area! I've had my hotel reservations for a few months now, and sent in my entries on Friday.
I can't wait...there is just something about specialty shows- I love them! The fantastic company and conversation, the beautiful dogs, the relaxed atmosphere. You can't beat them, as far as I'm concerned.
We'll certainly miss you, your SU, and Scotty, Tatyana. We had so much fun with you guys last year...those sno-cones were SUCH a welcome treat on that hot, hot day, too, weren't they? Thanks again! Man, time flies...Monty was in the 9-12 month class last year! I remember the cute photos of Monty and Scotty playing/wrestling under the shade.
GGLRC is 19-20 of October, with Del Valle supported entry shows the 21-22nd. I'll have to see what my boss allows me to be absent for and what Monty is looking like by then. With these "almost 2-year-old" boys (for whom I'm not familiar with coat-blowing patterns and whatnot yet), it is interesting the changes that occur from one week to the next. LOL
Stoney Brook, will you be staying on the grounds for Sierra Vista or in a hotel?

Well, I live about 20 mins away, so I will probably be driving up everyday. I am going with the professional handler that I work for, she said she isn't bringing the trailer, but might afterall, so I might be staying there, with her, or just drive-up.

Very cool! Will you be handling him yourself or will she be doing it? I didn't know that you worked with a pro- great way to get a lot of great handling tips/tricks. Who is it?

I know, I am excited. I'm actually working for Ellen Cottingham. I wanted to assist her (plus she asked) because I am very interested in Springers as my next breed, but she also shows Labs, which is a double bonus.
We plan to handle our dog ourselves, and have asked Ellen what her rates are just in case we'd like her to handle, but it's a bit too pricey for us, so we may just show him ourselves.
This wil be my first weekend with her, and am excited, i really hope i can learn alot, and be more involved. *Counting down the days!*

Ellen is great... I actually had the opportunity to handle a ***** special for her at the Ventura shows a couple of months ago. She had the WD as well as 2 specials there. I remember back at the Bakersfield shows, too, she had the WD, WB, and RWD...along with the yellow ***** special she was showing for Judy Chambers, who took BOB. VERY good in the labrador ring. I didn't really get the chance to pick up much from her since there wasn't much time, but hopefully you get the chance to learn a ton from her, and then you can share your infinite wisdom!

Really? I was actually going to start with her at Ventura, but it didn't work out. I know, she's great with Labs, I'm hoping I can pick up alot from her. I believe she just finished her two Black dogs at Ventura as well, or atleast that's what she told me.
I will definelty share my knowledge I get from her on...
Anyone know how many labs are entered the days of the specilty? I know in obedine there are 30, including AB. And I heard there are 116 Saturday with around 40plus dogs and sixty plus bitches AB show, and a little less Sunday. Yay! 4 pt majors!

Alright, sounds like a fun time (especially for the judge) .
