Libby does it again

Miss Libby got an Open fourth this week-end!

This is four Open finishes in a row for her, with three placements!  She needs the coveted win to qualify for the US National in South Carolina this November.  Wins in Opens are hard to come by...VERY hard...so I'm not holding my breath, but I will keep my fingers crossed.

This is all very impressive for a 3 year old dog.

We had a great week-end at Horsetooth Retrievers.  First, Second, Fourth and Fifth (Reserve JAM) in the Open...and three of those four dogs are three and younger.  And we won the Qualifying too!

Our future looks bright and all the (mucho, mucho) hard work is paying off.  We have an exciting truck of dogs and they just keep coming.  Willie and Gordy in the Derby look great, and we have a few Basics dogs that are making us smile every day....including my home-raised Rip.

Being a pro is a tough, tough life.  It is exhausting, demanding, never-ending and all-encompassing but it's week-ends like this that make it all worth while...and then some.
