Kayla is my first VP pup! Garth, Michele, and Karen earned VP ratings on their Alta-Tollhaus puppies at NASS 2007. Kayla’s VP rating at the Bluegrass regional show this past weekend was my first VP. Pictures below were taken by Pat Kennedy of Diamond Photos, the official photographer for the show. Kayla was 3rd in her class of 14 in the female 3 – 6 month old Baby-Puppy class. Kayla was almost 3.5 months at the time of the show. Thank you to Carole and Terri for your help in double handling and to Jochen for handling her in the class. It was a great team effort! I had a blast and Kayla really got into it!
Julie—it’s hard to remember that Kayla is just 3.5 months old, and hadn’t been shown before. Her display of self-confidence in new surroundings was quite impressive…hotels, parking lots with barking dogs, show ring…nothing bothered her. Talk about a “can do” attitude! Love her sense of humor.
You will agree Julie, my best double handling is to just stay out of the way! I am a good cheerleader though…
Okay, I’m new at this — what does VP mean?
