Zukey has had a busy year so far--we went to the Dalmatian Club of America's National Specialty show in late April/early May, where we earned our first Open Obedience leg with a first place ribbon, our first Open Jumper's Agility leg, and earned second place in a competitive Open black breed class. We also participated in Rally.
Last month we went to Pittsburgh to try to get Zukey's second major win, and managed to win it on Sunday, thanks to Katie Shepard's expert handling. Zukey now has 13 of the needed 15 points to earn her championship, including both required major wins!
Last week Zukey was bred to Gabe (GCH CH / Int’l CH Bret D Gabriel’s Lost Art RN, CGC, TDI).--You can read all about his accomplishments at lostartdals.com including his Best in Specialty win at the DCA National! We are VERY excited about this litter of puppies. Due to Zukey's anticipated pregnancy, she is only entered in one more breed show, and her obedience and agility training are scaled back for the time being.
So it should continue to be an exciting year with puppies for the first time in over 20 years. I will try to keep the website updated!
