Team Poise had a busy weekend at the North American Coton Association show in Belton, Texas. The big news is we came home with two new Champion Boxers and one Grand Champion Aussie, a Reserve Best Puppy in Match and some nice class wins. All wins are pending UKC confirmation.
We accomplished one of our goals this year by getting a Grand Championship on our bred by girl Divinity. UKC GCH Poise's Sweet Confection. Divinity earned her Grand Championship in only 3 weekends of specialing. She has been the #1 Australian Shepherd in UKC for all of 2015. Divinity completed her Grand under Judge Fred Lanting with a Best of Breed and Group 4 placement.

Ivy, AKC/ASCA/ UKC CH Cedar Hill Secret Garden had her debut as a special this weekend shown by Mandy. They brought home two Reserve Champion wins. Quite the accomplishment considering nine weeks ago she was giving birth to a litter of adorable puppies. The judges agreed she was in great shape for newly weaned mother of four! (file photo)
We took Ivy's puppies to show in the match and they all did very well. The superstar was Blaze- Poises Blazed by Dragon Fire. He trotted away with a Reserve Best Puppy in Match in a large entry of 30 puppies. His brother Coal also earned a Best of Breed puppy.
DJ AKC/ U-CH Windlake Christmas of Gold (handled by Gayla) & Alfa U-CH Windlake Bayou Beauty (handled by Mandy) each earned their first Champion class win and Best of Breed.
Barry- Bur-Way Poise'd On Blueberry Hill Won his class and went on to get 4 Reserve Best Male wins on his UKC debut. He had a great time in the ring and made a few more conquest this weekend. Ruby and Pi also made their debut in UKC and competed in a large puppy class. Pi was limping in the first show so Mandy pulled her and didn't show again until the very last show where she got a 2nd place out of 5. Waidus and Ruby had fun in the ring together. |
