Editor’s Note: I mistook the name of Marian’s girl. It should be Lolly, not Tootsie. Lolly is Tootsie mom. Also, Greta would not be in the “Open” or “American Bred” classes, she will be in the Puppy Classes. Matt has now offered to proof read all my dog show related posts since I am really batting 1000 right now!
Matt and I have a difficult decision to make. Not so much life changing difficult, but plan altering difficult. You see, we have been asked to have Greta taken to the Saint Bernard Club National show in Oregon in October by Marian, who is a professional handler and proud owner of Duncan, Greta’s sire.
Matt is very adamant to show her in the “Bred By” class himself. He really wants to finish her out of that class. I see his point, and it is a prestigious thing to do. The dogs in that class can only be shown by the breeders of that particular dog. So that would mean Matt, myself (in a pinch) or Donna (no way in hell) would only be able to show her if she were to be entered in that class. Sending her with a handler would mean she would be in the “Open” or “American Bred” class. As much as we would like to go out to Oregon, we just can’t swing it right now with Matt just getting back to work. So what do we do?
We’ve already asked Marian how much it would be and how long she would be gone. It’s going to take 4-5 days traveling both ways with 4-5 days of being out there. That’s not a big deal to me at all. Can she take a kid or two also? I meant to tell her that they don’t eat much! She emailed Matt back and said she would treat her like her bitch Tootsie. My eyebrow went up. “Does that mean she gets to ride up front and lay on the couch like Tootsie?” Matt pounded my question into my Blackberry. Her response was no, that Greta doesn’t know how to hold her urine. Good answer. Because she’s not coming back home to think she’s going to lay on MY couch all day long!
We haven’t made a decision yet. We are leaning to the yes side as of now. A few details still need to be pounded out. And the advertisement that’s going to be in the Fancier is awesome! She sent us the proofs last week. We are just so excited about it! I can’t publish it until the Fancier is out, sorry. That should be in September sometime, so you’ll just have to wait! But it’s worth it!
