Belgian Sheepdog National Specialty Report

Back in the beginning of April, we went down to Southern California for the Belgian Sheepdog National Specialty dog show. The National Specialty is only for Belgian Sheepdogs and happens once a year. Since JB is a Belgian Tervuren, I couldn't show him but he did come along for the ride. I showed Faith in Junior Showmanship and Conformation.  I received Best Junior Handler with Faith, even though I was the only Jr. who made it! :) In conformation, Faith did really well, but she didn't make the final cut for Best of Breed, Best Opposite Sex, or any of the Awards of Merit and such.  I also showed a dog named Teddy in conformation. Teddy is going to be the father of Faith's litter due the beginning o July. Teddy did really well too, he made the cut from the boys to come back in to compete for Best of Breed, but he didn't receive any ribbons either. Conformation is judging the dog's conformation, and Jr. Showmanship is judging how you present the dog. All went very well and I got to spend time with family down there.  I also helped out in the Hospitality Room with my grandma and had a Petcurean Dog Food display and free samples.  Here are some pictures:
