Training Day: Rip

Show Report: Atlanta, GA

CoolWater's SuperNova

We’re happy to hear that CoolWater’s SuperNova aka “Nova” did very well this past weekend at the dog shows in Atlanta, GA.

Nova took Winners Bitch, Best of Winners and Best Opposite Sex both Saturday and Sunday – obtaining her first set of points. 

I received several emails/texts/phone calls from various people stating that Nova is quite a looker and that she’ll have no problems finishing – fingers crossed they’re right!

Good job, Nova!

Congratulations to her owners – Connie & Heath.

Happy Birthday, Jessie!

Each year my dogs get a special treat on their birthday – they each get a white cupcake (with frosting) and a scoop of vanilla ice cream. We celebrate our birthdays, so why not celebrate theirs? I must also admit my guilty pleasure of having the pups wear party hats …. and photographing them. Yes. I know. I’m aweful.

 Jessie was so excited to get her treat that her teeth were chattering and her ears were quivering.

Show Report: American Chesapeake Club Supported Entry – Greenville, SC

This past weekend I went to Greenville, SC to attend a dog show. Normally, I don’t travel so far for dog shows but this weekend there was an American Chesapeake Club Supported Entry. Because of this, there was a much larger Chessie entry than ‘normal’ here in the South East. There were Chessies  from Florida, Virginia, Tennessee, the Carolina’s, Maryland and other places. In all, there were 20+ Chessies in the ring Friday through Sunday. Two “CoolWater” dogs were participating in the show, so I wanted to go and support them. Boy am I glad I went! We did quite well…

SHR CoolWater’s Out On A Limb JH aka “Risk”took Winners Dog (WD) for a 4 point major on Friday. Not only was he the only hunt test titled dog entered, but this was ONLY his second weekend showing! He now has both his majors needed towards his Championship.

 And…. we now have a new Champion….

 CH CoolWater’s The Tide Is High aka “Jesse” was entered on Saturday and Sunday. On Saturday, Jesse took Winners Bitch and Best of Winners for a 5 point major. On Sunday, Jesse not only took Winners Bitch and Best of Winners, for another 5 pt. major, but she also took Best Opposite Sex over Specials.  Jesse, with very limited showing, earned her Championship with her last three showings earning her two-5 pt. majors at a Supported weekend in South Carolina and a 4 pt. major at a regional Specialty in Maryland. Not too shabby for a dog not even two yet.

 And to top it off — “Risk” and CoolWater’s Super Nova aka “Nova” received “clear” CERFs! A good weekend indeed.
