River wins BOB & Best Puppy In Group!

Got some good news for you all! My handsome son, River, went for a show in Ipoh last Sunday with Chloe & guess what? River won his 1st Best Of Breed (BOB) & Best Puppy In Group against 17 Goldens at the age of 6 months 18 days old! And he beat a couple of imports too!!! The whole family & I are very happy for him. He did exceptionally well for his 1st time.

Mommy handled him throughout the whole show & she sa
id River never got tired for the whole 13 hours over there & he was always full of zest in the ring. He gaited & stacked wonderfully though he did freak out in the beginning when the Australian judge touched his erm..."jewels" but after that he warmed up to him. The judge was a very nice, gentle man. River made it all the way up to the Best Puppy In Show category but he didn't get anything from there. Hopefully next time, he will.

Here he is with his pretty BPIG pink rosette. My hoomies' mentor said he's a beautifully structured dog with a lovely scissor bite & head.

Here he is after he got groomed & bathed the day before the show.

Dogness me, the hall sure was packed!

The two snoring away in their playpen.

Here he is competing with the other pups from other groups for the BPIS & RBPIS titles.

They had a very exhausting day because everybody left at 3.30 in the morning on Sunday & only came at 1 a.m. the next day. They did not get to rest at all. BOL! Well, we sure were very happy to see them all back home again.

I was at the Ipoh Show and I am dead certain that your dog did not win a Best of Breed (BOB). Please put up a pic of your BOB ribbon. We'd all love to see it.
