The ECSCA National Week has come to a complete end, and we couldn't be more proud of how the Blazen dogs represented us through the week!
Vesper kicked off the week earning her first two points at the all-breed under Mr. Roger Gifford. The next day, her cousin, Brie, earned her 14th Championship point under Mr. Larry Abbott.
Monday was filled with grooming, packing, loading, and unloading. Tuesday's Regional Specialty under Mr. Doug Johnson was all that I could have hoped for! Brie placed 4th in a competitive Bred-By Puppy class, Vesper was 2nd in 9-12 Puppy to her sister, Yankee won his 10+ Veteran class, and Sherman made a cut in Best of Breed!
In National Sweepstakes, under Breeder Judge Mrs. Sally Rosenthal, Brie was 4th in 9-12 Puppy, Delta was 2nd in 11+ Veterans, and Yankee was the star, winning his 11+ Veteran class before going on to Reserve Best in Veteran Sweepstakes!
Thursday, Vesper was again 2nd to her sister in 9-12 Puppy under Breeder Judge Sue Dwelly, Yankee was 2nd in 10+ Veterans to the eventual Best of Opposite winner, and Delta was 3rd in her own 10+ Veteran class.
While no ribbons to show for it, I could not have been more proud to present Sherman and JoJo in the Best of Breed ring on Friday, both showing their best qualities and why we're so proud of our Kade x Delta kids.
Above all, it was fantastic to see our ECS friends from across the country (and beyond). It was a joyous week and we thank the event committee for their hard work behind the scenes to make it a success!
