I attended my first dog show yesterday in Bel Alton, MD. Watched some of the obedience trials, met a 200 pound Cane Corso with paws nearly as big as my hands, and of course, I saw the Yorkies.
While I was waiting for the Yorkies’ ring time, I got to see the standard Poodles strut their stuff. Gemy, I thought of you and your BRTs when the Poodle owners/handlers were putting the final touches on their dogs’ coat, scissoring the locks to perfection.
Much to my surprise, I recognized a face in the crowd of people grooming their dogs. It was Tami! I looked in my catalogue to confirm that she was showing Lady Hawk’s Dream a Lil’ Dream, Avery:

While Tami was readying Avery, a handler put a Poodle on a grooming table and the dog immediately jumped onto a Yorkie’s smaller, rolling grooming station right behind Tami (thank goodness the Yorkie was elsewhere at the time). The Poodle looked like she was going to jump onto Tami’s shoulders or table next.
Thankfully the handler got the dog under control before it became a complete catastrophe.
After the show, I had the pleasure of meeting Tami. She is a lovely lady, she is passionate about her dogs, and I could see that she truly enjoys working with them and showing them. It was such a treat to meet Avery, her gorgeous girl, and Merlin, her pup with the ultimate face:

Thank you Tami for talking with me. I look forward to seeing you and your fantastic dogs at the specialty this fall.
Thank you Elle for the info and the kick to get to a show.
