Gettysburg - Tuesday

Today saw the first day of conformation judging, held at the Allstar Events Complex that is essentially next door to the host hotel, but a bit of a walk if you are carrying any sort of a load. Let's just say our rented minivan has made the jaunt a few times today...

The day started out cool and overcast but by noon the sky had opened up and it poured on the two draft tests that were being held.

Below you will find results for the following events, Herding (which was held Monday), Draft Tests 2 and 3 and Puppy Sweepstakes. Sorry that I don't have any herding photos, but I understand Chris Stefenac was there taking actions shots, be sure to check out his website www.csphotoonline.com/ . He takes incredible dog photos, I have ordered from him before and have always been happy with the hard copies.

So, without further ado...

HERDING- thank you Claire Coppola and your team of volunteers!

Monday at Gettysburg!

Wow... What a start to the week of the BMDCA National Specialty!
I had wanted to post last night; however the entire hotel was without internet due to a small FIRE that occurred in the evening. Thankfully, no one was harmed, but last I heard there were still 20 rooms without electricity.
Today many people were participating in Berner University classes thanks to the efforts of Linda Seaver and her amazing team of volunteers.
The volunteers at registration were hard at work getting folks checked in and passing out their welcome bags full of goodies. This years bag is great, a large heavy duty tote bag that zips - I envision this one going to many a dog show in the future.

On to the results...

Today saw PERFECT tracking conditions - the sky was overcast, it was a little breezy and a little drizzly. No worries about the dogs overheating.

Here are the results for the tracking test: CONGRATS to all that earned new titles!

Tracking Dog Excellent:

Tomorrow will be the beginning of Conformation with the Puppy Sweepstakes classes and there will be another two draft tests. Also, I will have the herding results to report! My apologies that this is being posted a bit late in the day, we had some technical difficulties with the copier that we are using to produce the newsletter.

Reminder that all "win" photos are copyright protected and may not be used without permission of the show photographer, Dawn Gabig...

Now to end on a fun note, with all of the chariots that are bringing the most precious cargo to Gettysburg, here is a small sampling of some of the vanity plates captured this morning.

Have a great night, and thanks for checking out this years BMDCA National Specialty results blog!
