Fenway (though di-hard fans around New England were dancing around their kitchens to "Sweet Caroline" Friday). I'm talking about the Dog Show season.The Muddy Paws Dog Show kicked off at 8:30 AM at the Osterville Community Center on the Cape. Three different clubs attended the event, bringing around 40 participants. Crate space was limited and at times everyone felt like sardines, but we savored every minute. It was finally time to put all of our winter training and practice to the test.
That practice certainly showed. Every club and every member exhibited excellence in both showmanship and obedience. The competition was very stiff and the final results/scores astounding.
Satucket River Dog Club-my club-was no exception. Our novice kids looked perfectly at home in the ring. One of our novice members received a first in her showmanship class. Another received seconds in both obedience and showmanship, which when combined with her knowledge score, made her the best overall junior. The Senior
s didn't do half bad either. Returning veteran Katie received a 2cd in Graduate Novice Obedience and a 2cd in Advanced Showmanship. Jack received first place in Novice A obedience with a score 0f 199 out of 200. I received a third in Novice A Obedience with a score of 193 and third in Advanced Showmanship. Both my score and Jack's score are qualifying legs towards our CD-Companion Dog-titles. (3 scores-legs-over 175 with more than half of the total points earned in each category)
