Piper went into a show yesterday. Won Best of Breed and got 6 more points toward her Championship. A third of the way there.
Was very happy with her confidence and ring performance. She was a little nervous and did a crouch for exam rather than a stand but did let the judge examine her.She did some nice stacking and seemed more relaxed than she ever has.
The judge gave her several approving looks in Group, and for a few seconds I thought she might get lucky, but no, the English Springer Spaniel took top spot and Piper came fourth. At least she didn't embarrass me. Her half of the honor wall is slowly starting to compare to Cody's impressive awards collection.
The judge was from Slovakia and offered a critique, which I found charming.
'This bitch is anatomically correct and pleasingly feminine in form. Powerful smooth movement. Eyes serious form overall good facial expression. Refreshing to see "birdyness" in a Gundog.' (the judge had seen her track a bird across the sky)

Piper backed up with a Challenge win at another show two days later. She was the best Chesapeake Bay Retriever in the show. She was the only Chesapeake in the show, but the best none withstanding. Just need 13 more wins for her championship.

For you this show is very important. This is good that you are thinking such level about your dog and very conscious for their show performance. This is such a good effort you are doing at here.
