Slacking on my blogging!!
I have been awful about updating my blogs, (yet again!), and I'm trying to get back on track here! My baby girl is 8 months old already and somehow gets cuter with each passing day. And it's a good thing because she has a naughty side and she is also doing the typical adolescent pushing the limits stuff.
Since I posted last Famke has been in her first two conformation shows!! I am so very proud of how she has been doing. Especially since I am a terrible dog Mom and I have put almost zero effort into training conformation. We've focused much more on obedience training and since I am such a conformation newbie I should be doing a lot more with that training! Famke was such a good girl at her very first show and was happy, attentive, and showed quite well. I really just wanted for her first experience to be a good one and it really was. It was the very first time in the conformation ring for us both and it was fun! We didn't do any winning but it was still a great time. Thank goodness that our best friend Shannon is always so helpful and kind enough to help me with grooming and getting Famke lookin' all fancy. :)
Our second show was in the same town that two of Famke's breeders (Meg and Kay) live and one of her breeders, Meg, had contacted me before the show and asked if I had any interest in having her show Famke that weekend. I thought it was a great opportunity for me to be able to watch Famke in the ring, and for Famke to get used to someone other and me showing her. It was so cute because Famke was so excited to see both Meg and Kay. Famke showed beautifully for Meg and it was really fun to be able to watch from outside the ring. It was another great experience for Famke and she got a point on both Saturday and Sunday so my baby girl has her first two points! :)
