Vanda's Debut Weekend…

  • Congrats! Oh gosh, when I showed my puppy at a match at 3 months, that was a disaster, lol. Sounds like you had a lot more luck and a lot of fun!

  • Oh bless her, puppies should be puppies, I wouldn't expect a little baby that age to show like a pro. :) Good luck with her.

  • Thanks Nemo,

    Im really not worried about what they do in the ring, while in the Baby class. They are there to get the feel of what all this showing 'stuff' is all about, hopefully :D. Im happy if they just come out of it having a great day, lots of socialising etc, etc, etc :)

    What really amused me was the way that she knew all this stuff, then about Tues last week, she suddenly decided that she had NO CLUE what I wanted her to do, and she decided that she was going to run as fast as she can back to the judge… I took her to Puppy Training on the Wed, and the teacher jokingly asked me if I had done ANY work with her at all :o:o. She was a horror, she was acting like I had never even had a lead on her. She tried to jump off the table, so the teacher and I both did acrobatic moves to catch her, thankfully we both caught her :o:o. It was really embarassing, and I asked the teacher to take her home for me, and I will see her at the Royal, all trained... Sadly she refused my offer :confused::confused::D:D

    I dream of baby puppy pro, but I havent managed to cook one like that yet :):)

  • Hey that's great :D! Many congrats for Little Vanda :cool:!
    I remember Masai's first and second show. At first he was only one in baby class so we won that but his presentation wasn't dazzling. And second show was really terrible for me :D. He was with another two boys in baby class and got 3rd place. He jumped and pulled on the leash. In stack he was the best but judge prefered moving. So we had a 3rd place and it was that moment when I decided I want 1st place :D. A little bit training and results of endeavour are here :D.

    Many congrats once again :)!

  • Congratulations Saba and Vanda :)

  • Fantastic result…congrats Saba & Vanda...:D:D

  • I think it sounds like she did great, all things considered..she is a pup after all.
    Huge congrats for the first show wins and jitters being over with..now on to the next one..
    Did you get any pics..?

  • WooHoo.. that is super… congrats!!!! And yes, regardless of the judges idea... a baby puppy class should be FUN for them.. even if they act like they have never been on a leash in their entire "short" life... :-)

  • Way to go and you did so nicely.

  • Well, Miss Vanda has had her next 2 shows, and whilst she didnt win any classes in group, she did perform quite well, and she was best baby of breed both days :). At the second show, the judge had some nice words about her, so I was happy…

    Got the Royal Hobart Show tomorrow, and Im really looking forward to that. Will let you know how she goes :D

  • Good going Miss Vanda, I can't wait to see how it went..

    @mmitch777: Thx all. We really did not expect to win anything. We entered just because they were not too far away and wanted to get some show experience. She looks cute in the pictures but she is so naughty, I sort of wish she was not so smart :) Congratulations! She sure is a pretty girl. We all can sympathize with your last statement - they are clever to a fault, most times too quickly clever for us to catch up in time! I used to think age would calm them but no longer believe that to be true. :)

    @youngandtired: To me that expression in the first pic looks like he is saying, "What's up everyone this is a piece of Cake! I love these pictures, and I can't believe how he has grown, seems like just yesterday you were posting pictures of your new puppy. He is very handsome, and I love the stacking. How do you teach them to do that!!!!! I would love to teach Sahara that only b/c I love the look, not to show her, I just think it looks so cool. Thanks, and yes – it does seem like just yesterday dh had that weak moment and let me bring another B home. ;) Stacking w/mine has been pretty easy. I do it just like I teach them to sit, etc. I hold a treat and tell them to "stand", and put my hand under the belly to keep them from sitting, tell them "good stand" and give the treat. Once they "get" that, I tell them to "hold" and keep them at a stand for a few seconds -- if they move their legs, I move the legs back and say "hold" again. Once they "get" that, I tell them "hold" and move their legs back a bit into position, telling them "hold". Really, only takes about twenty minutes total to get them to understand "hold".
