Just thought I would add to the posts on all the AT boys at NASS! Andrea was kind enough to take these pictures when Jack and I were busy double handling Ivan . Thank you Andrea!

Lynda, Ivan looked great! I haven’t gotten that far with my pictures yet.
I know you have been busy sorting out all the NASS photos and it will be a while until you get to the 18 – 24 month olds! I check the website every day to see what new pix are up!
Lynda, I feel that Ivan deserved to be in front of a few more of those dogs. I am not just saying that because it is you guys, I really felt that way. He is a Gem for sure!
Karen I thought so also. As you can see it was already dark, the judge was tired, the handler was tired, it was late and everyone wanted to pack it in for the day. He still was in front of a lot of other nice dogs.
Oh wow, Ivan looks so good, very very handsome boy.
What a hunk Ivan is.
Lynda and Jack have superb animal husbandry skills…which is no small compliment. They always show up with Ivan in perfect weight and condition, beautiful coat, clean and groomed. They also have a strong bond and relationship with Ivan and together they work like a well-oiled machine.
Andrea, SUPER photos!
Thank you Julie. I was disappointed it got dark so quickly, not having my flash with me and all. I wouldn’t have used the flash when they were gaiting, but I would have loved to have got some shots of Ivan with Lynda, Jack and Peter at the end. Would you/Carole/Crysal be able to email me some when you come across them please? Also, can you email me the one Crystal took of Lynda and I towards the end of the day? I thought that was a lovely one. Thanks.
Yes the one Crystal took of you and Lynda is very nice. Give me some time and will get to them. The pictures will keep coming!
Julie, you are right. We do have a special bond with Ivan, as a matter of fact our handler ,Peter, said “Your dog loves you TOO much”….and he did not mean it as a complement! Ivan was pulling very strongly on the leash and was looking for us when we called him! We wouldn’t want it any other way.
You are welcome Lynda, I wasn’t going to miss Ivan for the world. I was delighted to be able to take some shots for you, it was just a shame it got dark so quickly.
Always love seeing Ivan. Love these shots, he looks so confident and “in the zone”! That special bond you share with Ivan is a priceless treasure, thanks for sharing.
