Burlington shows were HOT. Humidity was unbearable.
Sundays shows were wonderful as I watched Kerri Carter put a 4 pt Major on her male puppy Mikey out of my Solitaire bred to Raymond. He will be 8 months old on 8/16 and already has both majors and a total of 9 pts. YEAH!!! Big Congrats! I then Watched Teresa Kannard take WB with Fiona her female out of my Solitaire bred to Raymond’s first litter. She then went over her younger brother Mikey to take BOW and her first major win for 4 pts. Way to go! Mommie Solitaire in the ring with me was feeling her oats this weekend and let her kids show her up…she took Reserve Winners to her Daughter.
Went to the DeKalb IL. Dog shows both days. Showed Tally in Bred By Exhibitor class. Melanie showed Zuli in Best Of Breed ring against another Blue male. Tally took WB/BOW/BOS so Zuli could earn a point towards his Grand Champion title.
Kishwaukee KC shows in Belvidere IL proved to be worth the heat.
Saturday:
Tartanwyn Doin’ It With Attitude ~ Mikey (7mo) took WD- 3 pt mjr. Owned and shown by Kerri Carter. Tartanwyn Dazzlin’ Solitaire ~ Taira- owned and shown by me (she’s Mikey’s mom) took WB/BOW for a 3 PT Mjr – her 2nd mjr . She only needs 3 pts now. Tartanwyn Theodore Arturo ~ Teddy (7mo) took RWD to his brother Mikey- handled by Melanie Harkness. CH Tartanwyn Sky’s Lapis Lazuli ~ Zuli took BOB and a 5 PT mjr towards his Grnd Ch title. Owned and handled by Melanie Harkness.
Didnt’ show on Sunday—
Jada-IA city June 2010
After a week of RAIN we went to the dog shows in Iowa City. Was trying for a major there but not enough entered. Left Thor at home as he only needs a major. Tartanwyn’s Dazzlin Solitaire~ Taira..took RWB to her 6 month old daughter Tartanwyn That’s What I’m Talkin’ Bout~ Jada who took her very first 2 points at her very first dog show on Saturday. Chris West~owner of our puppy Frosty, handled her for HER first time in the conformation ring. Great job! On Sunday Taira took RWB again and her son owned by Kerri Carter, took WD for his very first show and 1st point.
From the Woodstock, IL dog shows and Tartanwyn’s Dazzlin Solitaire ~ Taira, took Winners Bitch both days. Her grandson Sam took Winners Dog and Best of Winners. CH Tartanwyn Sky’s Lapis Lazuli ~ Zuli took Best Of Breed both days. We were scorched in the sun between the rain showers.
Just got back from this weekends shows in Wheaton, IL. Patsy took Best Of Opposite both days. Tartanwyn High Ho Tally O’ ~ Tally, took Winners Bitch both days. Taira’s grandson Sam took Winners Dog, Best of Winners both days. On Sunday he took Best of Breed. Big Congrats!
I attempted to get some candid side and front shots of the furkids. Anyone who tries to do this by themselves….not easy. Waiting for a sunny day was hard. Hope you enjoy. Let me know your thoughts or interest.

Great Weekend! First month for the accumulation counts of Grand Champion Points to start with AKC. I Brought Champion Tartanwyn Closer Walk With Me ~ Patsy Cline out to the Scott County Kennel Club show entered in the Best of Breed ring. She amazed me and took Best Of Opposite Sex both days to accumulate (2) of the 3 needed major wins for a total of 6 points of the needed 25 for the *new*AKC Grand Champion Title. I am so pleased with her.
