The Maryland Kennel Club was a two day show over the weekend after my birthday. I entered a whole bunch of dogs. Two class girls, Brie, and Rory, and three specials Mazikeen, Ukulele, and Azula.

So, I split this clinic with my husband’s dog Brie working Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. Brie, at almost 2 years of age, really showed some amazing things.

I worked Chunky, Mazikeen, and Fiddle on the cattle, including some nice little weanling calves. Warren arrived Wednesday and worked Brie. The weather was terrible though, rainy, cold, and miserable. We actually worked most of the days in the barn because of it. Well worth the trip
