In the ring
Flashback Friday
Watching the National Dog Show last night made me want to pull out this memory. It was 1998, Ike was about 8 months old, and a fancy show dog.
I never intended to have a show dog, but part of the agreement with the breeder was that I would show him for at least one summer. I did, and it turned out that neither of us enjoyed it. I had Ike neutered and out of the ring at the first opportunity. The good news is that all of the training really helped us bond.
Please notice that, unlike many of the professional handlers I saw on tv last night, I was NOT wearing ridiculous sneakers and sweat socks with my suit. I found some comfortable, low heels that would allow me to run in the ring.
