Canine Chronicle has ranked Burrito #9 in Breed and #7 in All Breed for the first part of 2022. Burrito earned these positions based on his breed ring wins and the Group 4 win that he and Sheri earned in Puyallup. Below is a casual picture of Burrito and Sheri in Puyallup (you can barely see Sheri, but I had to crop the picture to get it to fit on the blog). Have to post the statistics quickly and cherish the moment since Burrito’s ranking will vary according to wins and the number of shows he attends–hard to compete with the national handlers and campaigned dogs–it sure is fun to see him in the Top 10.

Over the weekend Jerry and Belle attended an International Dog show in Tuscon, Arizona where Belle earned her International Championship with multiple V-1 awards and a Group 4 in the Non-Sporting Group. Each day there were multiple breed rings and evaluations. Both Belle and Jerry enjoyed the experience (Belle probably didn’t enjoy the dry, pokey grass) and met some very nice other dog people. We are so happy that Jerry is showing Belle and proud of what they two have accomplished already. Looking forward to seeing more or Jerry and Belle in the show ring.
Today, Sunday, August 22, Tasheena showed Elijah (Absolutely Bringing a Higher Love) to his AKC Championship (pending AKC certifiction). Tasheena and Elijah are a great team, allowing Elijah to complete his championship quickly (after all we took a whole year with no shows because of Covid). Elijah is owned by Mark and Jan and his Bichon sister, Gracie (she thinks she owns him too). Great job Tasheena!!! Grand Champion in the future???
Pixie, with her favorite handler, Sherin, was Reserve Winner for the “girls” today. Pixie shows best for Sherin and is a wild girl when Tasheena (owner) tries to show her. Actually Pixie thinks that the conformation shows are just way to slow and that instead of trotting around the ring and full out run is what is called for!! Cute, crazy, fun little girl.
Sunday was a very good day for the Absolutely team at the Sammamish Kennel Club dog show in Enumclaw. Elijah was Best of Breed from the classes over 2 specials, Shae was Winner’s Bitch and Best of Opposite Sex–both pictured above with their ribbons. Burrito was awarded Select dog for another point towards his Grand Championship. Elijah went on to the Non-Sporting Group for his first Group experience. Elijah, handled by Tasheena, showed very well–but no placement–maybe next time–and there will be a next time!
