Wanted to wish all my GRF friends a Happy and Healthy Thanksgiving and if anyone has time to watch the Dog show from 12-2PM tomorrow my daughter will be handling one of our smooth collies and also my rough Collie as well will be in the Herding group.. Here is a pic that was taking of her in the Group

I saw her in person on Saturday- her poise and professional manner was impressive.

She looked great!!

 

[DevWind]

I just saw her. She looked great!

I LOVE this! What a poised young lady! Next to goldens, smooth and rough collies are some of my favorite dogs!

 

[Hildae]

Good job!

 

[Ginams]

My family marveled at how poised she was. Great job!

 

[4goldengirls]

She did a fantastic job. I was so impressed with how she did. I'm sure you're very proud.

 

[Emmdenn]

I can’t get over how poised and confident she is. She looks great out there and does such a phenomenal job!!! So so thrilled for her!

 

[JulieCAinMA]

She did such a great job. You must be very proud. And oh my gosh, she looked so adorable in that suit!!!! 😍

Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving and thanks for all your kind words.

I know zip about showing dogs, however JerseyChris, your daughter is the perfect example of professional.

Concerning the lab video, someone please tell me that the lab in the video is not the example of what the lab breed standard is supposed to be.

Don’t you know they need all that fat to keep them warm in the icy waters 😉

No it’s not. As is the case in dog showing, sometimes the extremes come out and this is what you see. Labs are shown fat for reasons that are beyond my understanding

It isn’t to anyone other than a confirmation judge.

A very accurate quote I read recently:
“There is nothing more destructive to breeds than the show ring.”
I’ll leave it up to the author to claim it.

 

[SRW]

This is what a Lab is supposed to look like.

I need a professional like the OP’s daughter to show her.

I have to admit that lab shocked me. It was so tubby.
