New Updates!
As August quickly slips by I am astonished how fast the summer has gone. Erik is back at school soon to start his senior year at college. Bob and I are 4 weeks away from moving to Georgia and there is so much to do. On the topic of dogs we have been busy too. Siena finished up her Agility Excellent Standard (AX) title with a 1st place (& 19 seconds under standard course time) at the GMGRC trial in Vermont the end of July!! A celebratory cheesecake was enjoyed by our classmates and instructor extraordinaire the following Wednesday at AK9C! Siena is now U-CD Zeus' Sunrise on Siena CD RAE AX AXJ CGC TDI. Hoping some double Q's are in our future ;-) Following that wonderful weekend we took a vacation across Lake Champlain. We had a glorious week with family, beach time and our water loving goldens. Well let me restate that, since it was Zap's first swimming experience he was less than thrilled with the size of the waves the first few days. Eventually the lake calmed down and he followed Siena and Truly's lead and finally took the plunge!
The first weekend in August Apollo took RWD at the Pioneer Valley KC show in Greenfield, MA (shown by Kara ;) http://www.sunkissedgoldens.com/apollo.html
The next day at the Cheshire KC show in Keene, NH ~ SunKissed Emerald Lyric was RWB shown by her owner Donna Proudfoot! http://k9data.com/pedigree.asp?ID=256802
Congratulations to Donna and Lyric....great job! Also, this was Diva's first weekend out as a special and she took BOB both days! WAHOO!!
A week later Kara and I headed up to Canada to show Zap, Diva and Eclipse. I showed Zap in one class then quickly turned the lead over to Kara....conformation is not my thing! Zap ended up with 2 Best Puppy in Breeds, 1 Best Puppy in Group and 2 Reserve Winner's Dog! Not bad for a 7 month old pup his first time in the show ring....thank you Kara!!!! Diva finished her Canadian Championship and showed beautifully! Congratulations to Am/Can CH SunKissed in the Spotlight CGC! http://sunkissedgoldens.com/diva.html
Not to be overshadowed by beautiful Diva, Eclipse came away with 6 points towards his Can CH that weekend! http://sunkissedgoldens.com/eclipse.html
I will post Zap's professional show picture when it arrives. The same weekend we were in Canada back in the States SunKissed Emerald City "Casa" went WD at the Southern Adirondack Dog Club in Saratoga, NY! http://k9data.com/pedigree.asp?ID=240324
Congratulations to Casa's owners Duane and Jean (Kara's parents)!!!
This weekend is the FUN-damentals Agility & Obedience Camp at American K9 Country. Siena and I will be going both days and I signed up Bob and Zap for 1 day of agility with Julie! Can't wait!!
Whew! I think that's all the news for now.
This way to the water dad....HURRY!!
