The first weekend of October, yes opening day of the elk season we went to Dallie Jo and Deuce's first ever Dog show. I was REALLLY nervous about going. I thought to myself, "We are going to be the laughing stock of the show. We don't belong here. I've seen the uppity people there and I don't want to be one of them."
Well with all that said, we REALLY enjoyed ourselves. We made some new friends and learned alot! We learned that our little Deuce is super naughty and needs obedience training and that our Jo is the cutest little show women.
The first show we threw Jo in the ring and she ended up taking 2nd (of two kids) and then tied for first in the second go round. After the first show the Scott's showed her a few tricks and she was able to watch others show; she just thrived! She loved every minute and I enjoyed seeing Jo in her element. She loves the animals and loves to preform.
We might not have won our first show but we did win the costume contest! As far as Deuce goes, he was very, very, very NAUGHTY! He wouldn't stand, he wouldn't walk, he wouldn't trot...
Look how naughty Deuce was. He is usually such a good little walking companion but with 30 other dogs there, he lost his mind! Cody was so embarrassed that he wouldn't walk!
The true reason we chose to go to the show was so Dallie could get more experience showing and learn how to be an all around showman. We want her to be confident in what she does and even with these two, low key shows you could really see a boosted in her confidence. She was the cutest girl there and she was on cloud nine feeling so proud of how she had done.
