I had intentionally not scheduled any far away races this year in order to get back into showing and working my dogs. The first stop of the year was the Nation Independent Rottweiler Klub's Midwest Sieger Show and Illinoise State Championships .
I took my 6yr old female Lava n her pup 15 month old Sookie. Sookie would be showing in conformation and Lava was to compete in her first protection tournament. My dog friend Skip traveled up with me and brought his two male dogs. He claims he likes male dogs because he "does not understand the female of ANY species".
Overall it was a real fun weekend consisting of: meeting some new characters in the dog world, seeing some really great dogs, drinking, camping, plenty of heat and sun.
Sookie got an SG on day one and an SG2 and trophy on day two. (sg means "very good") that's good for a bitch her age so I was satisfied.
The protection tournament turned into more of a practice session and was not scored. I am afraid we were a little unprepared having only one day to practice...(last minute decision) it was fun to do anyway.
I spent most of my time taking photos on day one,,,click me if you want to see all hundred n sumthin of them.
Overall it was a great weekend that leaves me looking forward to our next show.
