Show Report: Badger/Janesville KCs May 7-9, 2010
These shows could have been so nice with some better weather … Showsite is a typical older fairgrounds in Jefferson, Wisconsin. What I really didn’t like (because it was affecting MY movement) was the fact that the rings were very uneven. The building was pretty dark too.
Anyway, Friday was Badger KC, judge was Mr. Ray Filburn. We actually had some points which is pretty unusual for a Friday show. Best of Breed was Tammy Szabo’s Rowdy, Ch. Tobishi’s Rough N’Ready, Best of Winners was Trouble, Katai’s Trouble with a Capital T, Winners Bitch was Karen Drentlaw’s Bred by girl Te-Shi Desirae. Holli Levine’s new B/T boy Edward, Hi-Jinx Black Sirius was Best Puppy. Needed to hang around all day so that I could show Edward in Puppy Group, and despite it being quite a huge (and full of nice NS puppies) group, Edward managed a Group III! I do not know who the group judge was for puppy group.

The following day was Janesville KC and our judge was Susan St. John Brown, a basenji and ibizan hound breeder originally. She is a provisional judge I believe and did a nice job of sorting through a major entry in shibas. BW, WD to finish his champion was Monica Flynn’s Finn (say THAT fast three times) also known as Hi-Jinx Kenzou. Now Monica can train him in obedience and agility! Also receiving a major from the BBE class was J-Ann’s Exotic Beauty, a lovely black and tan girl that I haven’t seen since she was just a little thing. She really is a beauty but I can’t remember her call name, I think it has something to do with a television show 
Thank goodness for Facebook, I looked at Jane’s profile and found her name is Ziva. Ziva also placed in the BBE group, a 4th place. Tammy’s Rowdy was once again Best of Breed, Rowdy is aka Ch. Tobishi’s Rough N’ Ready.

The last day was also Mother’s Day and a beautiful day so no coats for us and it seemed like Pat Doescher’s whole family was there, and maybe they were! It was a nice day for Pat as her Orange, Hi-Jinx Clementine was WB for a major. I really like her, and I was very worried that Trouble would not manage BW (oh yeah, he was WD) over her, but our judge Norman Kenney gave him Best of Breed, so no worries there. I might have been even more nervous if I had known that Orange was also in season! Pat generously offered trophy baskets for BOB & BOS and the other shibas have enjoyed helping Trouble eat the biscuits.

We stayed for group, but unfortunately there no placements for shibas anywhere around here on this weekend as far as I could tell, but at least Edward and Ziva did us proud in the Puppy & BBE groups earlier.

Webpress is being a bit wonky today … Edward’s photo started out right under Rowdy’s and somehow has ended up down here, but ya know … in the interest of time … I’m just going to leave it here!
