In late March, three of the Circus Seven puppies got together to compete in the 4-6 Month Beginner Puppy competition.
CONGRATULATIONS to Zanie (Barrett n’ Star’s Under the Big Top) for going BOB and picking up a Sporting GROUP 1, and also to Stark (Barrett and Touchstone’s Star Circus Monkey) for going BOS. Sister Ellie also participated and had a great time!
Thanks, also, to the friends Blythe and Linda who didn’t have a dog in the ring, but came out to support us and say hello, anyway!
Setting up early on Saturday morning.
OUTTAKE – No idea what’s going on, but Jana has her eyes closed and Louise is laughing out loud. Me? Just trying to pose pretty.
The parents! Jana (Stark’s mom), Louise (Zanie’s mom) and me (Ellie’s mom).
Jana doing a fabulous setting Stark up.
Very nice, Mr. Stark!
The kids… looking very bored.
Zanie doesn’t like being jailed.
Zanie likes to use her half-sister Squeek as a headrest. Squeek has that “please help me” look.
Zanie!
Jana and Stark. Jana, WONDERFUL JOB!!!

4-6 PUPPY JUDGING FOR BEST IN SHOW. BIS went to the Husky. The judge said that had there been a RBIS, it would have gone to Zanie.
Afternoon at the set-up.
Ellie posing for me back at the hotel. What she doesn’t know is that sister Zanie is SECONDS away from jumping all over her.
Ellie figured out how to get out of the soft crate.
The trouble with eating alone at IHOP is that they forget you exist. 30 minutes to get a table for one, 15 minutes to get coffee, another 15 minutes to place the order, another 45 minutes for the order to come out = HANGRY KIM. Good thing I wasn’t in a rush.
