August 15
Tindra competed in the CISC booster and placed 3/3 in Open females. Like her mother she’ll no doubt end up with a complete collection of ribbons (Soley has everything from Group 4th to 4th in class).
It was our first weekend out without any of the other dogs or her owner/handler Scott and she behaved very maturely during our hotel stay – our baby girl is growing up!
No pictures from this event but I do have the dogs booked for a special portrait session in mid-September.
Sigga (formerly Vina) travelled to her new home. She lives in Maine with proud new owner Maureen and her sire Max.
