Jack, the dog show, and mariners’ knots
A couple weekends back, I took Jackpuppy to his first AKC dog show, in Grand Rapids MI. I went to get Jack some experience at a multiple day show. It happened to be 15 minutes from where my older niece lives, so I combined the dog show with a family visit. It was all good. There was only one other greyhound entered so there were no points available to the winning dog. Odds were good that the other dog wouldn’t even show up, which was what happened. So Jack got Best of Breed three days in a row, and three lovely blue ribbons to go in a box with all the points-free BoB ribbons that Slate won the same way. I decided that I like UKC better–at least you get some points for showing up even if your dog is the only entry in that breed.
Anyway, Jack did me proud.
