Sky's half sister Mia(Zeke x Trixie) with owner/handler Jessica went Winners Bitch Fri and Sat at the shows, and also showed in obedience, earning her Companion Dog title on Sunday with another 1st placed. Mia had scores in the 90's for all 3 legs with first place for all legs. Great job Jessica and Mia!!
We found a great greenway area and dog park to let the dogs run and play while we were at the shows in Winston Salem. Jessica and I roomed together and Mia and Sky loved having the chance to stretch their legs during the weekend
Mia playing at the dog park with a new friend. We spent several hours on Fri and Sat at this dog park and were impressed by the social skills of the dogs and watchfullness of the owners.
Sky did earn winners bitch and Best Opposite Sex on Sunday in W/S for her 8th show point. She is now officially over half way to her championship with one major and a total of 8 pts of the necessary 15 to obtain the coveted champion title.
Our friend Jessica w/Sky's half sister from the Trixie/Zeke litter, Mia, came to visit last weekend and show in Novice A obedience at the Asheville trial. Mia and Jessica were super stars, placing 1st both days with scores of 193 and 193 1/2! Anyone who has ever done obedience with a 19 mos old Weim can appreicate the accomplishment this is. Good job Jessica and Mia!
As a reward for their hard work showing, we all took a walk on Sunday to Sam Knob, a beautiful mountain top just off the Blue Ridge Parkway. Mia and Sky took a moment to pose for the camera and survey the beauty of the Western North Carolina Mountains.
Another view from Sam Knob, it is a favorite hiking area and another group was approaching and caught the girls attention.
After descending Sam Knob, we continued our walk along the Flat Laurel Creek trail and eventually wound back to the parking area. We had a taken a short break near a creek and the sun came out late in the afternoon to catch this shot of Sky waiting patiently for us.
We had a great time visiting with Jessica and Mia (Zeke x Trixie) the end of July. Attended the Greenville SC shows where Mia qualified 3 days in a row w/score of 97 and placements each day for her Rally Advanced title. Way to go Mia! And this was done by rushing from the conformation ring straight into Rally without even walking the course 2 days of the 3, what a team. Sky showed beautifully for me and went reserve one day to the 4 pt major that our friend Helen's Lena won from the bred by class. After 3 days of showing, we were all ready for a break so went hiking at Max Patch on Monday. Will post more pics later, but thought this would give an idea of our fun but hectic visit.
