AKC Hosted a Fun Educational Match this past Saturday in Raleigh, NC. The match was held on the State Fair grounds were there is a flea market and almost always a crowd of dog owners. The morning was devoted to talking to the public about dog related topics. We helped out at the Doberman table. The match was held in the afternoon. I swear you folks are going to make me a buy a new camera. Most of the pictures I took weren't worth posting.

Getting set up.

I think Em was trying to teach Lena to read.

Talon

Another example of a Doberman. We were hoping to have some people show up with ear posting questions, but business was slow.

Em working with Talon.

The Juniors getting ready to go in.

Im sulking too! I would have liked to have seen it also! Emily really looks like she is doing a great job! She seems to really enjoy it, that is great. Now....next time there is anything dobe related going on in NC....you must inform us haha

Great Pics though, looks like a great time!

 

[Fitzmar Dobermans]

Thanks for all the compliments. I shouldn't have let Emily post this thread with me. She is going to expect to see the responses and we can't have it going to her head. Oh, she did win her class. unk: (I'm going to get an, "Oh dad" for this.)

I really didn't know what to expect of the event. If Carmen didn't do what she did, there wouldn't have been anything Dobe related to miss.

I'll try to do a better job getting the word out next time.

Speaking of which, y'all know about the The Tarheel Cluster Mar 20 - 25,
http://www.akc.org/events/conformation/tarheel_circuit/2004/index.cfm don't ya? I haven't sent in our registration yet only because I haven't decided on how many days to let Emily play hookey (don't tell Lacey).

I'm thinking to let her show in Jrs on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. As of this moment, we won't be entering Lena in confirmation, but we will be ringside to watch.

 

[BackInBlack]

Hmmmmmmmm.......we might have to come to that! I bet there are some people from Ziris's breed handling class that are going, maybe I can follow one of them!

Go Emily for winning your class!!!! You seem to be doing alot of that latley! Great job Girl!

We had thought about going to the Match but had too much going on to get away. A friend went with her Aussie and said they had a nice turnout.
