The Pontiac Kennel Club trial was held in Davisburg, Michigan last weekend; Pila (Vinlands Piaf) and Tryggur (Vinlands Kani) did very well.
Pila earned her first leg in Rally Advanced under Judge Margery West and Tryggur earned his first leg in Rally Novice under Judge West also.
In the Breed Ring (aka Conformation) LeRoy (Vinlands Leif), shown by with his owner/handler Jennifer Sanders, earned two points in two days of showing. It was Jenn's first conformation show; Lee's too!!
We had a nice time with Tina and her son who also showed this weekend. I'm sorry I've forgotten Tina's son's name but Jenn and I thought he did a really good job showing his champion female.
We had a chance to meet Runa (Lappevennen Runa Embla), a beautiful female puppy Tina recently imported from a great kennel in Norway. I am sure we will see them in the breed ring with Runa soon.
It is truly wonderful when people from Europe and Iceland are willing to part with their wonderful, well-bred puppies in order to enrich our own gene pool here in North America. The future health and well being of our beloved Icelandic Sheepdogs depends on sharing our best dogs.
We had a really good weekend!
