New UKC Vizsla CH!!
We had a VERY successful weekend showing at our first ever UKC shows!

I showed our Vizsla, Kirche's Csinos Penni. Well, that little red dog
was a star of the UKC shows! She won 3 Group ones, a Group 2 AND a
Reserve Best in Show! She became a UKC Champion.

Sandusky Tanzen mit Thistledown was the only Berner but won 3 group twos and a group one. These wins also gave him the points he needed to
become a UKC Champion.

RO Rocks for Murphy!!
I would like to brag on my little "Russell Rescue," Murphy. I've only had Murphy for a little over a year. He was a rescue from the Tulsa Animal Shelter and came into my life right at the perfect time; just months before I lost my beloved Australian Shepherd. As a typical Jack Russell Terrier does, Murphy kept me busy which was really great therapy for me. Murphy started beginners obedience training in August 2008 and on September 12 and 13, 2009 he was entered in the first UKC Rally trials in the state of Oklahoma. It was four trials in two days. Murphy not only earned his URO1 that weekend, but he scored two perfect 100 scores!

New AG Chihuahua!!
Here is Solomon! (My Sweet Solomon of Animal Haus). He turned 3 this spring and this year alone had obtained his UAG1 & UAG2. He is still trying to get his Grand Championship, but has no competition with which to compete. He loves agility and shows in UKC. We started trialing in the spring and we have accomplished a lot in the summer months. He struts around like he owns the place.

A great and fun little dog to work with.

Working towards the GRCH!!
Wanted to introduce "Twister" He came to me as an unsocialized dog that was scared of all humans. With a lot of work he has turned out to be a true showman. He finished his UKC Conformation Championship in July 09. His first weekend out to attempt his Grand Ch legs, Twister took the show by storm by acquiring 3 of the 5 available legs at that show and also getting a Group3 Group2 and a BIS at the Punxsutawney shows September 4-6th 09. We're very proud of our boy’s accomplishments so far.

A Grand Show Weekend!!
We starting showing in UKC Spring of 2008. Born March 2006, "Tater" came to me at 3 mo. from B.C. Canada. He is a true show dog in every sense, living and loving to be in the ring. We waited until he matured and joined our friends at UKC shows when he was 2 y.o, once he finished his UKC Ch., he soon earned his first Reserve BIS, followed the next day by his first BIS win! In 2008 he won 2 BIS and 3 RBIS. Plus numerous Group 1's and several placements. In July 2009, he won his first 2 Champion class wins. The weekend of Sept. 12 -13, 2009, entered in 4 shows, Tater won the Ch. class at all 4 shows to finish his Grand Ch. with a bumper win ! Our icing on the cake was THREE Group 1 wins, a Group 4 AND 2 Reserve Best in Shows in strong competition! It was quite a weekend !!

Juneau's AG Debut!!
My name is Jennifer Thomas, Richmond, VA. Juneau is my almost four year old boxer/am bull mix. His mother was rescued from a kill shelter while pregnant. Juneau was born in a boxer rescue shelter. He has always been a shy boy, so we started agility almost a year ago to help with his shyness. He loves it and has excelled. Our first UKC trial was this past weekend at Bel Roi. I had no expectations-NONE! Not only did he qualify with a 199, but took third place in his division. One proud momma here. I am attaching a pic of him sporting his new green rosette. Thanks UKC for giving us the venue to compete:)
