Hi all ~
Big Brag! Luna (Galomy Oaks Aurora del Mango, HIC) just got her UKC Championship this weekend! She took Best of Breed all 4 shows, 3 Group 3s and a Group 2! I will say, she really humbled me, though. Despite the fact that I TRAIN dogs, have socialized her extensively, do Conformation class with her a few times a month, she was a squirrelly-girl at the show. Thankfully she showed as a "puppy" so the judges were really understanding, and really worked with us.
I think the biggest "problem" is that she is very sensitive to "eye" and the judges, of course, are STARING at her. And they behave "dominantly" with examining a dog. So we need to work on that in training.
Pollux (Crying Wolf) looks gawky at this age, but a judge told my friend that he is "stunningly beautiful" and once he is better trained for the ring he will be unbeatable. So we are both concentrating on having perfect dogs in the ring the next time. It seems a Vlcak will really humble you!
