    Eukanuba Tournament of Champions

    Did anyone catch this tonight?  The Parson Russell Terrier that was on it is from the breeder I work with.  We actually have a litter from him right now.  Hes a great dog!  Ch. Sandplum Ridge Pot of Gold (Pogo).

    Cool...the 13" Beagle who took a group placement was the sire of the first CH. to bear the Ryngwrayth kennel name, Tuck aka Parker Jr. That was the first litter he sired I think...
     
    He's done some really big winning since then....in the past couple years...so I guess I made an okay pick for my first ever breeding lol! [;)] He has really great people behind him and I'm so happy for them...what a ride it must be to have a dog like that!
     
    I liked him so much I bred to his sire the next time [:)] So Ellie and her 4 siblings are half sister/brother to him...
     
    ETA: Thinking back, Tuck actually finished at these Houston shows! [:)]

    Isn't it fun to see them on TV?  I love it!  Its fun going to the shows either way, but when its on TV, it seems so much more prestigious(sp?).  Hopefully, when I get out of college, or at least have a little more time, I will be able to show Colton as a special and maybe get to that level!  Colton has already beat both of Pogo's sons a few times(who are like mini-Pogos).  He has won over specials many times and just needs one more point.  That is going to be my new goal!  To get invited to the Eukanuba show!

    After I read this last night, I had to go turn it on....saw Parker and said I think I "know" this dog!

    I am not a show dog person, so this this may not be news to those who are, but there was one lady judge who was 96 years young!  She was one spunky woman!

    You're not alone, marty.  I kept thinking I knew Parker, too.  I finally decided I've seen so many dog shows that's where I knew him from.
     
    My connection to "fame" for that show-the woman with the Elkhound is on the email list I'm on.

    I was so excited about seeing Pogo, that I really had to think about this.  I beleive it was the Maltese.  I could be wrong though. 
    Pogo was actually my second choice for Rose's litter.  If I breed her again later, Pogo will probably be the sire.

    Yup it was the Maltese...what a great looking pupper.

    The black Cocker Spaniel won, but the rust colored (not AmStaff, forgot the breed I was falling asleep) caught my eye! Beautiful dog - the one who was making eye contact with his handler.

    Oh yeah!  How could I forget?!?!  The judge said he looks into each dogs eyes, and the cocker said he wanted to win!  The rust colored dog was a Staffordshire Bull Terrier.  Similar to the AmStaff but smaller and wider looking in the front.  More compact looking to me.

    Oh no! I missed something again! [:(] I wish I would know ahead of time for these types of things! [&:] lol  Which channel was it aired on? We might not even get that channel, in that case it would be ok, I guess.

    Animal Planet was the network...I don't know if they will show it again tho...it was a repeat of a show they taped back a few months ago.
