We made the 9 hour trip to Denver easily. It was sunny all the way. We went to the show site early on Friday to see the weight pull demonstration. We saw a different demonstration 3 days. My favorite was the dancing dogs, but also liked the Flyball. The weight pull had poor sound and it was hard to understand and hear, but it was pretty impressive.
Cooper did well for his first real shows. He got better every day. I discovered that he needs to walk around the vending area and the grooming area quite a few times before showing. He needs to be a little bit tired. On Friday, he got Best Puppy and then a puppy group 3. He didn't do well enough to win any points. He is still quite a bit smaller than the big boys that were there. I weighed him when we got home and he only weighs 22 lbs. he will probably gain at least 10 more pounds in the next couple of months as he begins to fill out. We learned what to work on. He really doesn't like for the judge to feel his "business", but checking the bite is getting better. We really need to work on the gaiting, not running around the ring too
Sadie lost a tooth, probably while belaying tug with Cooper. Could have been a back tooth that wouldn't show, but no, had to be right in front.
Trip back took 11 hours. We were stopped on the highway for 2 hours while they cleared a wreck. It is a narrow two lane road so no way to get around. We could have turned around and gone another way, but that would have taken us almost 200 miles out of the way
