Today was a great day! The weather was perfect in Napa, CA and there were a lot of great dogs, great people and wine being served too. After all what is Napa known for??!!
BJ was as cool as a cucumber and very confident in himself as he should have been. His mother and grandmother on the other hand, well, not so much!! It was so wonderful to be sharing the moment of BJ in the ring with Jane, she was so excited. BJ won Winners Dog for his first major and Best of Winners and Best Puppy. Then he was to move on to the Puppy Group since he also won Best Puppy in our breed. Since the Puppy Groups were running a group behind, David couldn't show him as he had show his TT at the same time in the other ring. So, David got some young girl to show him in the Puppy Group. It started out well, but this girl obviously had never shown a Havanese before or something as she was sorta stringing up BJ and choking him. None of us were happy about that and especially Jane. I thought she was going to walk into that ring and knock this girl out. Sarah instead walked around the ring to firmly tell the girl to "knock it off!" In spite of the poor handling, BJ was awarded a Puppy Group 3!!!!
It was so exciting, and I can't thank Kathy and David enough for letting me pester them with all the newbie questions/nerves in the world. BJ just loved it, and I'm pretty sure he thought they put the whole thing on just for him!
