Shannon is great! We actually "camped" under her EZ Up for the show. Luna *IS* gorgeous. She was praised for her composure (one judge said she has "more "gray matter" between the ears" as she was very intent on watching them) and that, even for a youngster, she is well-put-together.
Pongo-Pollux just needs to grow into himself - he is still very much a gangly pup, but one judge commented that he was "stunningly beautiful" and I am sure the next time we show he will look very impressive.
We are going to work them intensely for the ring - getting them to stand-stay and ignore the judge. Being typical vlcaks, they are not good with novel stimulus and strangers staring at them and then approaching and behaving in an aggressive manner. Pollux actually growled low in his throat, though did nothing further. He has been displaying some serious protective behavior. Neither he nor Luna are afraid when it comes to protecting what they consider theirs. They are very much like Belgians in character I find...
