With a group one placement at the Tacoma Kennel Club, placing over 20 other dogs, Leif earned his final points toward his Certificate of Merit!
We are thoroughly exhausted after this weekend. Leif is more pet than show dog, and his human does this because I'm the oldest one so she has to play along with me as the youngest one π. And with historically large entries for the PNW, his brain was fried by the time he stood in the group ring for the second show of the day. I screamed when the judge pointed at them for first place.
And to wrap up our little accomplishments for the weekend, he also got his second ATT leg, earning him his title!
I'm super proud of these two as a breeder and sister, and while they don't *quite* get to rest just yet (praying that Nike can maybe earn some points in the future once she's matured some more), we can take it easy now that he's finished his CM.
