From Traildog to Show Dog

The breeder we bought Ajax from has really been encouraging us to show him, saying that he has good conformation and could be a champion. 

 

Well, neither Chris and I are interested in the show scene, nor do we have time to commit to this with all the cancer appointments we are facing, so we agreed to let her handler show him.  We entered him in a show at the beginning of October and again this past weekend, both in Chilliwack.  With very little training at all, Courtney, the handler, has managed to show him well enough that after the 2 shows he now has 17 winners ribbons of various categories, and 7 points towards his Canadian championship.  He needs to have 10 points in order to be titled with champion.

 

We are not sure if or when this might happen, as the next 2 shows are in Calgary and Burns Lake, and we are not prepared to travel.  The next local one is not until February and by then he will have forgotten what he's learned I am sure.  But we shall see!  Even if we don't get him to another show, he'll still be our little champion!!
