Update second half of 2008 on Geo
Posted on February 11th, 2009 No commentsGeorgeanne’s first 1/2 of 2008 was kindergarten for both her and I. Geo made an early premier trip into the ring at 6 months old where she did not take her class. Geo was awkward looking and I was clumsey, common among young pups and thier new bee owners. We were somewhere in Pennsylvania in December 2007.

Of course 2008 was fun for both of us. We made it out to Bucs, Trenton & Freehold where we held our own. Many pictures and some video of these three shows are available at our web sites; http://www.babyindependence.com and http://www.kelevmaven.com and www.mastiffshow.com.
The second half of the year we headed out west and showed up in Lubbock & Humble, both in Texas. Geo grabbed ribbons but no points as she was still shy of her potential growth amidst her peers. I expected this as I early on made the decision to allow Geo to take the full three years to maturation. We will be expecting points this year at least half of what a CH requires.
Let me make it very clear, whether Geo scores points or beats another mastiff or group breed is not as important to me as she is and the fun we have when at the shows. Would we do Bucs, Trenton, Freehold, again? Of course we would, we would most likely even include Somerset this year, and some fall shows elsewhere. I liked Humble, Texas. The towns folk there were wonderful. The location very doable and even though we lost to one other girl there. That girl took BOS at Westminster yesterday.
2008 was a year for both of us to learn some skills in the ring, 2009 hopefully we will reap some rewards from our labor of love.
Peace Out!
