Meanwhile, I took Beetlejuice, Sam and Dean to the NLCC, where we had a great time. The big winner was definitely Beetle, but Dean did get second place in veterans one of the days for another point.
Evie came in season right before the NLCC, and Sarah ended up taking her to the Perry shows for me, where she was awarded BOW two days for her last two points to finish her championship! She's a Dual Champion at long last!

On his second weekend out, Shocker blasted through his last few points and finished his Canadian Championship, as well as winning two puppy groups! Shocker is the youngest Ibizan to finish his Canadian Championship. So proud of his family for getting him out there and having fun!
Junior has really taken to dock diving! He's one of a handful of Ibizans in the sport, and he really loves it. He took part in his first trial weekend and finished his Dock Senior title!
Junior had a great start in Barn Hunt, finishing both his Instinct and his Novice titles the same weekend. He finished with a first and third placement.
Junior finished his Rally Novice title, with a perfect 100 score in his last attempt. He's up for anything!
We had a fun weekend, camping out in Canon in the cool weather. Dean and Evie ran and had some fun, and we had a "borrowed" Beezer from Abbaio (Beetlejuice) who stayed with us as well and racked up some wins. He hit it off immediately with my dogs and had a great time playing with Fleura especially. Fleura had some great runs on two tight courses, and had an especially strong BIF run against the Whippet. She was BOB on Saturday to finish her LCX title, and 2nd place on Sunday.
The hilarious highlight of the weekend for me was Dean getting loose. I had handed him to a friend while I got Evie ready to go, since Beezers were up next. As I was leaning in the car and dressing her, I heard the cry of, "Loose dog!!" I decided to check, since Dean is strong, and I leaned back to look and saw him heading for the course at top speed. He had just gotten to the field, with three Whippets heading at him and the lure zipping his way, and I shouted his name. Amazingly, he screeched to a stop and spun around and headed straight back to me! This earned a round of applause from everyone in the holding area, which made it extra funny. Dean came right to me, to much praise, and then was handed back to his poor holder. We had a great weekend in beautiful TN, hanging out with Fleura's breeders and running dogs. Dean ultimately ended up only running with my own dogs, but he had a great time. Fleura ran in a group of 7 dogs and was the meet winner both days, to finish her Gazehound Racing Championship title. We ended up staying an extra day, just to enjoy the beautiful weather and TN fields. The dogs ran the hills and had a great time.
We traveled to TN for our last event before Evie has her babies, and Fleura ran hard as usual. She was BOB Sunday, and then ran off with the Pharaoh Hound, Saluki, Whippet, Ridgeback and Ibizan for Best in Field, and walked away with her sixth fancy ribbon. This ultimately gave her the necessary 40 points to finish her ASFA Field Championship. We also enjoyed meeting her sister, Fera, who is sweet as can be.
