Phoenix walked to a “Select” award today.
She walked against one Grand Champion, one Grand Champion Gold and a seeming newcomer who appeared out of nowhere - who had won the previous class round.

Well, hold on there - I did some checking when we got back “home” and discovered that the “unknown” was actually a multi-national champion flown in from Belgium. You see, AKC doesn’t recognize champion credentials from other countries - when they come over here to compete they have to start at ground zero and earn their points here on US soil.

There’s never a boring day at the ring!
So, our Phoenix was junior pup in the ring but nobody told her and she still walked out with a “Select” ribbon and another point towards her Grand Championship.

Now we do this again tomorrow…..

Found a random yellow flower patch at lunch and gave all three a chance. Who won?

Enjoying the beautiful fall weather today with some free run walkies 🥰
