IABCA Shows - Gray Summit, MO

(NOTE - She is VERY lean and completely out of coat in these pictures after having puppies!)

Kande is now a IABCA International Champion!
She got four V-1 ratings out of four shows and a Herding Group 2nd out of about 9 breeds.
We didn't stay for the herding group competitions on Sunday - they were running very late & we had a 7-8 hour drive home.






	"Guarding" our hotel room...
	Tired after a long day...
Kerstone's Heart of Africa ("Kenya")	Kande thinking "Are we done yet???"
Kenya sleeping	Silken Windhound I had never even HEARD of them before this show! Looks like a long-haired Whippet.
Jeremy, Kande, & Kenya. Jeremy would much rather be behind the camera than getting his picture taken! LOL He was my photographer-in-training & official puppy holder for the weekend. :o)
