This past weekend was an AWESOME one for All Things Brittany and for many other dog owners for many reasons. But I want to draw your attention briefly to an exceptional article published in the online Bangor Daily News - FULL coverage of the Central Maine Brittany Club's training day on Saturday in Brownfield, Maine. Those of you who were there will want to share this with your friends and family so look closely you may just find you or your dog pictured! Here is the link to the article complete with a nice selection of photos http://bangordailynews.com/2011/09/13/outdoors/dog-day-afternoon/
(Now I am also extremely pleased that of all the attendees there were 15 Brittanys from our breeding program there with their owners. The ATB contingency ranged in age from 4 months old to 6 years old. Hemi, Thistle, Ruby, Benny, Jack, Bullet, True, Riley, Millie, Brandi, Bella, Louie, Sassy, Remi, Boog. I think that's everyone!)
I am working on a presentation from this past weekend myself and a blog update. Attended a 'match' show in Bangor and 3 pups from Pippin and Chevy's litter were in the ring for the first time. A match is an informal fun dog show. Hemi, Thistle, and Magnum showed themselves proudly. I was especially surprised to see Magnum there who was shown by one of his best friends, Rebecca. He looked so handsome! Will share so much more later but do want to let you know how Hemi did:
Hemi 1st Place in his class, Magnum was 2nd
Hemi Best of Breed, Thistle was Best Opposite and 1st in her class
Hemi: Puppy Group 2 (out of 5 other sporting breeds, Hemi was second!)
Hemi: Adult Group 4 (out of 7 other ADULT sporting breeds, Hemi was fourth!)
Do check out the Bangor Daily News article!! I'll be back in a few more days with more updates. If you're on Facebook you get to see more of the photos for the time being. Take care and God bless - and as always THANK you for your interest. I am still on an ATB 'high' after this weekend. John, Ann, and our amazing Brittany crew.
