New CH Griffin!

The Lavendel boys did me proud today!

After a long showing hiatus Griffin finally finished his Championship with a WD and BOS today! I cant thank Ivy Dan Underdahl enough for sharing this special boy with me and letting me show him. He is my first Bred By Exhibitor Champion and has really blown away all my expectations. Starting his career with BOW, Best BBE and Best Puppy in sweeps at nationals and finishing as his beautiful first litter are going to new happy homes. Good boy Griffles!

Not to be totally outdone by his brother, Scrapple did his first turn in the ring in the 4-6 month puppy show and came home with a Herding Group 1! I couldn’t be more thrilled! I can’t wait to see where the little-red-singleton-who-could will take me! We are just getting started!

Back at it tomorrow to brave the heat one more day. The boys have been real troupers but we are all about at our limit. Thank goodness for friends with air conditioned trailers (thank you Polly Ficken, Michelle Ficken, and Paul L Wissler !) and for ryobi battery fans.
