It's been a busy fall for our Emerald Gordon Setters! Sept saw Logan and I off to Hershey, PA for our grooming competition at Groom Expo. This little boy is growing up into a nice young man and did really well considering the crowds. We managed to walk away with 3rd place in a really nice line up of other sporting dogs.

Two weeks later we were off to Marshall, MI for the 2024 Gordon Setter National Specialty. It was a great turnout and I honestly didn't have expectations of my puppies other than for them to have fun! To my surprise Logan took 2nd in a very nice group of Bred-By dogs, to the dog that went on to get winners dog! The youngest in his class and still learning how to love the ring I couldn't have been more proud of my little man. But not to be outdone by her brother Kora also went 2nd in her Am Bred class to the b*tch that went on to get WB. Her mom has been putting in the work to get her over a little fear phase after an incident at a show earlier this summer and their hard work paid off. My heart was so happy. Brian and Paisley did wonderful their first time back in the ring after Paisley took the summer off to have her last litter of puppies. They were 1st in their Juniors class. He also piloted her to a Brood B*tch 1st alongside her sons Scotch ("Rye" x "Paisley") and Logan. I'm so proud of all my dogs, it makes me so happy as a breeder to see them do so well! Kaity and Kora also got their CGC and TKN titles! Little Nyxie got to come along for the ride, she wasn't quite old enough to show yet but she is a little copy of her mom and I have no worries about her future in the ring!

The kids got an upgrade and I finally got to find out exactly how many dogs I can fit in my truck (the answer is 4)! Thanks to Raw Rations Pet Food and Wellness my kennels now color coordinate with my Emerald Gordon Setters color and we've got all the kennels we need to travel all over next year for shows!! After the week I've had it felt really good to have this off my check list.

Introducing the newest addition to Emerald Gordon Setters! "Nyxie" Willowpond N Pointsetter Imma Bad Lil B. Nyxie is owned by my friend Kaity, who also has Kora (Shaker x Paisley daughter; Logan's sister) and co-owned by Danielle Frykman and myself. I'm so excited to watch this little girl grown up and get in the ring!

2 weeks ago Logan and I ventured to the Kettle Moraine Kennel Club show in West Bend. We walked away with WD/BOW/BOBOH for another point and Bred By Group 2. Not too bad for a puppy. Sunday he got to run fastcat which is his new favorite thing in the world.

Now let's highlight the queen of the show, Miss Paisley. She hasn't had as eventful of a year as her son Logan in the way of showing but she's had a busy year. In January she headed with me to the Windy City Grooming Show where she and I competed in our second grooming competition with me and we walked away with a 2nd place. We also represented the Gordon breed at the "meet the breeds" and all 3 kids loved meeting everyone. In February my son Brian showed her at the Renaissance show on Sunday in the all breed and juniors ring. She won her class, went on to get WB and BOW for a 5 point major to finish her champion title. In juniors they were 2nd in a large group of 7 other handlers in their class. These two are a dream team and she shows so beautifully for her boy. In March Paisley off to Indiana to be shown to her grand with her "auntie" Danielle Frykman but she had other plans and came into season 4 days after getting dropped off. Danielle leased Paisley for a litter of puppies and on May 29th, two years after her first litter was born, her last litter of chunky Gordon pups was born, 4 girls and 3 boys. Paisley will be enjoying taking a break from the show ring this year to do other fun things (fastcat and barn hunt) while we wait for her to come back into show condition. We're so proud of the producer she's been and how well she's done in the short time she's been in the ring. Next year she'll go off with "auntie" Danielle to finish her grand title.

It's been a minute since I've updated on our beautiful Gordons so I'll start with Logan. In February we headed to the Renaissance cluster in Madison for the all breed shows and the Gordon Setter specialties. Friday and Saturday at both the all breed and the specialties Logan was RWD to the major and Saturday was best puppy in sweeps. Sunday he was WD for his second point! While we were there we were able to get a family photo of Logan, mom Paisley and sister Kora. Beginning of March Logan and I started in a basic obedience class. At the end of 6 weeks Logan and I took the CGC and Trick Dog tests and passed with flying colors, he's such a smart boy. In May we attended 2 AKC shows and a UKC show. At the AKC shows Logan was WD 3 of the 4 shows for 3 more single points and BOW for a crossover point. At the UKC show Logan won his class, was BOW and BOB at all 4 shows. He then went on to get 2 group 1s and a BIS!! He also tried his hand in rally and got a Q on the only run we made it to. June we headed down to Stoughton for another AKC show where Logan won his class, was WD and BOB/BOBOH for 2 more points. He's gotten to take a couple weeks break as he grows some coat to travel to Ohio for his first grooming competition. This handsome guy has been having a great time and been doing so well, I'm really excited to keep watching him grow and succeed in and out of the ring.

A few days shy of his first birthday, Logan got some exciting mail. He's had a great and exciting start to his show career. So proud of this little boy.

With extremely limited showing last year, I'm happy to announce that Paisley finished 2023 #1 Gordon Setter in UKC. Very excited to get this girl back into the show ring now that she's all grown up.
