a change is in progress

hope they get less sharp ;)

ooops

Martin flipped me over the couch-back-rest + Geisha took her chance to keep me there for kisses and playing ... this girl always gets a laughter out of me!

Geisha is added to The Whippet Archives

having a database with pictures, that is able to go far far back in time, easy to use and is for free is just amazing! THANKS sooo much for this awesome service, Karin!!!
As we received the official AKC registration back today, I entered Geisha there as well:

Unfortunately only a few of her 22 siblings of 2 litters are entered. If you read this and have one of her brothers or sisters, I can only encourage you to get your pup in there too. it helps for research + is nice to have/see for the unknown relatives too.

2nd Place Beginner Handler

George Alston, me & Kenzo

Winchester

on Friday we headed up to Winchester for my weekend seminar: George Alston Handling Clinic with the Shawnee Kennel Club
it was interesting, exhausting + Kenzo & me had a surprising success: 2nd place at the final beginner competition. I was even more surprised, when he said, I would have won, when the actual winner would have done the same before, what he did when we came back in the ring for the ribbons - he stopped showing his dog. doubtful about my skills as I am, I'd have never expected a placement.
I only can recommend this seminar to everyone who would like to get a better start/new perspective of showing. It was hard training, but in a relaxed atmosphere with lots of friendly people + surprisingly not a lot of barking.
We haven't been the only sighthound representatives, there was an Irish Wolfhound too :) quite a difference though...
while we were studying, Geisha, Martin & the new iPad enjoyed the time in the hotel.

here, some pictures of our journey
dogs in the car - good dogs are sleeping :) unfortunately Kenzo didn't find good space, but gentleman like as he is, he let her sleep... seems like she's already a big girl!
arriving in the hotel, the played hide + seek our fought over a toy exhausted after the first seminar day Geisha doesn't mind a good nap either :) watching each others back in the park
looking just cute
we finished the weekend, with a deserved steak:
