Stormont, Dundas and Glengarry Dog Show Weekend

Last weekend I headed out of the city to attend the Canadian Kennel Club shows at the beautiful show grounds of the Stormont Dundas and Glengarry All Breed Dog Show in Long Sault, Ontario. My travelling companion was Susan Luyendyk and we sure had a great time together and shared lots of laughs.  Seeing the beautiful dogs that were present and visiting with other Barbet owners and breeders was truly lovely.  It was great catching up with old friends and watching the young promising puppies in the ring along with some of the more seasoned show dogs.  Congratulations to all of the winners and participants at the show in the Barbet booster and over the course of the weekend.

I was so happy to be able to watch Léa presenting Indy, CH Northrock's Jedi at Patronum, in the ring.  The two of them are a beautiful team and it was such a thrill to see this special puppy again.

Equally delightful was getting to see Patronum Alohomora Bella Luna.  This pretty puppy is also a daughter of Northrock's Athos Pascal making her a half sister to Indy.  Both are such sweet puppies and I look forward to watching them mature.

I just love this photo of this super team celebrating their Best Puppy in Limited Breed Show win.  Thank you to judge Pauline Hewitt for the recognition.  Over the weekend Léa and Indy also collected six points towards Indy's Grand Champion title going Select Dog in the all breed shows on three separate occasions. My heartfelt thanks to everyone at Élevage Barbets Patronum.
