Sire: Ch Bar-K Tribute to Barlow -
Dam: Ch Bar-K Perfectly Perfect
Bred by Phillip Koenig
Baxter Goes to Sudbury - His first Canadian shows Not sure if they were fighting or mating, but they came spiralling down directly at me. I had no place to go, so slowed down and kept 'between the ditches' As I was inside my van ducking, I was sure they were going to hit the windshield, but instead they smashed into my drivers side mirror. The mirror exploded. This is a electric mirror, which unfortunately is no more!! I was very shaken up and thought to myself, I sure hope this is not an indication that I bought a Lemon van and/or am going to have a rotten weekend at the dog show!! On to the show. Mr. Baxter is quite the showman. He loves it and thinks that he whole world came to watch him so he must put on a show right? Well, he did. He continually took me around the ring like it was him that was in charge!!
He ended the weekend with One Best Puppy in Group and 9 Points. Not bad for a first time. He is not an easy dog to show as he is so full of himself!!! Judge: Don Fitzsimmons Not the best photo, as the Phtographer did not give me time to set his rear. Baxter climbed up on the stand, smelled the flowers planted his front feet and the photographer snapped the photo. He was amazed that the puppy behaved so well for his very first photo. We will try harder next time. It was the end of the day and we all were very tired, and I was sick with what turned out to be bronchitis. Baxter's goes to Petawawa - Champlain Dog Club - his second
Canadian weekend. He is a real monkey to show as he wants to be in control. He grabs the lead, looks back at me and says, hey old lady, are you ready, can you keep up with me?? And away we go. This is cute in the puppy class, but now that he has been moved up to Specials and has to play with the big boys it isn't so cute. The judges expect a special to behave. As he is still only just turned 10 months of age, he has no intention of behaving. I don't want to spoil his fun outgoing temperament so will just let him grow up before he goes out to play some more.
Judge: Thora Brown. Owner/Handler: Shirley Bell Baxter's next show is the American Boxer Club Specialty (ABC) in Kentucky- ABC has come and gone........Baxter and Jody looked phenominal together. Jody had him looking absolutely outstanding and he behaved very well for her. Must be that 'professional touch'!! He showed well, moved great coming and going, and covered ground effortlessly on the go around....what more could we ask for!! We had many many compliments from ringside sectators on our boy.
On the way home from ABC we (Baxter & I) stopped at the Forrest City shows. He took Best of Breed and Best Puppy in Breed on Sunday. We packed up and headed home. When we got home he was so happy to see his Dad (Wayne) and his best buddy Mardi. Next show......Boxer Club of Canada Regional Specialty June 8, 2008. This will be Baxter's last show as a puppy. He turns a year old on the 9th of June. |
