More On The MCBRC/ACC Supported Entry
Thunder has not been in a show ring since 2010 but he did a nice job on Saturday. The first time around he was pretty excited, but then he buckled down and moved really nice. He was the only dog in the Hunting Dog Class so after he received his 1st place ribbon, be moved on to the Best of Breed competition. He didn’t do anything in Breed, which was not a big surprise, but he got some nice comments ringside from some spectators. He also won a duck decoy as a trophy in addition to the 1st place ribbon.
Some pictures:
The SRR dogs all represented. They all finished in the ribbons. Freighter’s brother Woody was entered in Open Class. He was the only dog so he go the 1st place ribbon. Freighter’s sister Sunny was entered in the Bitches Bred By Exhibitor Class and took 2nd place. That was a tough class with many nice bitches entered so good job Sunny!
Thunder’s daughter Smokey took Best of Opposite Sex to the Best of Breed and Freighter took Reserve Winners Dog. A good day! Congrats to all who entered and to the winners.
Some Thank You’s
I would like to thank Dawn from Nature By Dawn for the wonderful picture she drew of Thunder. When I contacted her to ask if I could purchase a print, she sent me the original and a print! I couldn’t wait to get them framed, one for us and one for Thunder’s co-owner. I love the way it turned out. Thanks so much Dawn! We will cherish this picture.
We have been on a winning streak. Last month Sugar the Golden Retriever turned 12 and had a birthday blog hop and giveaway. In honor of Sugar’s birthday our post was titled: Big Smiles. And we won first prize which was a $25 gift certificate to Best Elk Antlers. Of course I couldn’t wait to order. Antlers are a big thing in our house (come back tomorrow to hear more about that). Thank you, thank you Sugar and Best Elk Antlers!
We also won the second place prize of a doggie car harness for participating in the BlogPaws Pet Safety Blog Hop. The post we entered in the hop was titled: Wordless Wednesday-Staying Safe In The Car. The harness was kindly donated by Dawn from PetAutoSafety.com. We picked a camo harness (how cool is that?) in extra large for Thunder because sometimes he rides in the truck with us. Thank you Dawn and BlogPaws!
Finally, we also won some Rabbit Jerky from Flea and Jones Natural Chews. It arrived today so I have not had time to take pictures, but it is a huge hit especially with Thunder who doesn’t usually get that excited about treats. At one point I thought he was going to do a back flip. 🙂 Thanks Flea! I hope to get some pictures before it is all gone. 🙂

Love the story, pictures and the print is fabulous. What a group. Freighter, Thunder, Sunny, Smokey. They all have such a richness of color to their coat. Reminds me of our dog Bay oh so many years ago. With such a group like this, it must bring a smile to your face everyday just to be a part of their world. Thanks for sharing with all of us. Hugs, kisses and cuddles to all of them and of course CONGRATULATIONS!
Congratulations on all the wins – the dogs are working hard. What a successful week with all the treat wins too! Well done.
Hi Y’all!
“Gee golly miss molly!” Y’all really are on a winnin’ streak! Keep it up, keep it up! Congratulations!
Y’all come by now,
Hawk aka BrownDog
I’m still so jealous that you guys won the wabbit jerky! Looking very professional in the ring, good looking doggies!
You’ve been on a good streak lately, I hope you bought your lottery tickets! 😀 Great photos, I love how well the dogs did in the show and congrats on all your loot!!
You should totally buy lotto tickets. I love Dawn’s drawing! It’s beautiful. And I’m so glad your handsome babies like the Rabbit Jerky!
Okay, this made me laugh: “many nice bitches” – am I really only ten years old?
LOL you hang out at dog shows and that is the way they talk. 🙂
Great photos!
All kinds of fun going on there this week! Ribbons received, treats in the mail, and even a nice drawing.
Congratulations to Thunder on his win! Those are some excellent photos. And I cannot believe you got the Rabbit Jerky from Jones!!! Jones treats are the BEST! Enjoy them!
Your pal,
Oz
Random question: what does it actually mean to co-own a dog? I see it a lot among people with breeding dogs. But Thunder lives with you full time, right?
Congrats! Great job, Thunder and Freighter! Thunder ran really nice for not having been in the ring since 2010! He looks like it’s all old hat to him, like he does it all the time.
Congrats to the siblings and daughter, too! That’s the neat thing about breeding and showing too, I guess… getting to see many dogs from the same line all doing a pride-worthy job.
And big congrats on all the loot you won recently! What a streak!
Thunder’s portrait is lovely. We’re also envious of the rabbit jerky win!
Golden CONGRATS! Great job of Thunder 🙂 Oh you got the Jones prize that everyone likes. Woof to Storm with that Elk Antlers. Lots of Golden Woofs, Sugar
Great photos!! Looking good strutting around the ring.

You are on a roll winning, and the dogs are really making out! I love the show pictures, the dogs all look great. It must have been a fun time!
Love Thunder’s show photos…He did great for being out of practice in the ring…And you certainly are on a winning streak…congrats!
Hello, 2 Brown Dawgs. Glad to meet you.
Wow! Have you been lucky! Congrats on all those winnings!
Wow! You’re on a winning streak. The framed print looks great! You picked some good colors to mat it in. I’m glad you like the harness too. Camo is the perfect color for Thunder. 🙂
Glad you like the framing. It looks even better in person when you can see the richness of the colors!
Hi Y’all!
Oops! I’ll be back later…
Y’all come by now,
