“Gracie,” Absolutely Bringing Every Little Blessing (GCH CH Absolutely Agape Happy Talk x CH Absolutely Affinity Take No Lip) went Winners Bitch for her first point on Friday at the Northwest Cluster in Lynden, WA. Gracie was also Reserve Winners Bitch on Saturday and Sunday. Both Jan and Gracie have been working very hard and all that hard work is paying off!!! Good job Jan and Gracie!
How fast? How much fun can I have?
At Junebug’s first time Fast Cat competition, she ran the 100 yd. dash in 19.28 seconds! This is her new favorite activity.
Finally we get to go to a show close to home. Over the course of three days, every dog entered was given recognition. On Sunday it was Junebug’s day to get best of the females entered. But the most fun she had was on Sat. when she was entered in a competition called FastCat.
Junebug was a first time competitor and she ran the 100 yard dash in 19.28 seconds!

Little Fiona was awesome at the National Specialty–she won her class in Sweepstakes and went on to compete for Best in Sweeps. In Bred-By Exhibitor Fiona was awarded 2nd place in her age group. In Conformation, Fiona (handled by Tasheena) was awarded Reserve Winner Bitch for a 3 point major and also Best Puppy in show under judge Bill McFadden. Way to Go Fiona!!!
Shae, again handled by Tasheena did well in Conformation and received an Award of Merit from judge Bill McFadden. All of us are so proud of these young girls and we look forward to showing them again at next years National.
The last picture of Tasheena, says it all!!!
May 2, 2022 the Absolutely team traveled to Tulsa, Oklahoma for the BFCA Specialty. We had a fun time and the dogs did very well. So proud of the dogs and the team! Pictures–Belle giving me kisses! ( I hadn’t seen her since she was 12 weeks old and went off to Arizona with Jerry). Belle, with Jerry handling, earned a 3rd place ribbon in her class from judge Carol Fellbaum, Sweepstakes judge, a 3rd place ribbon in her class from Futurity judge, Larry Letsche, and a 4th place ribbon (again in her class–12 to 18 months) from Conformation judge, Bill McFadden. Good work Jerry and Belle!

The Absolutely group and friends had a fantastic time in Tulsa, OK at our National Specialty. Although Junebug took second place to her half-sister, Fiona, she showed great and made lots of friends. She is such a good girl!
Eleven month old Junebug is getting ready for her debut.
