I don't post on here about my dog stuff but I am so excited about two of my bred-by puppies I have to share it!! I know some of you also show dogs
So I have a litter that just turned 9 months old a week ago. I show UKC with American Pit Bull Terriers. My dogs are very slow to mature but there have been 4 shown so far out of 9 in show homes and all four are either Championed already, two have 2 majors and one has one major. So I'm already proud of them all but last weekend and this weekend were SO exciting!!
Last weekend one of the boys, Atlas, was shown for the second time ever (he already had two majors from his first show). He won Best of Winners to finish his Champion title, then won Best of Breed. The next show he won the Champion class, Best of Breed and Terrier Group 3!
Friday, Atlas was shown again, winning the Champion class, Best of Breed, Terrier Group 1 and Best in Multi Breed Show!!! His brother Ares won Best Male for his first major.
This Saturday was our UKC Nationals, a really big deal of course
I was unable to go but we were represented by two littermate boys from our litter, Atlas - the one that won the weekend before, and his litter brother Ares.
Out of all those dogs, Ares won National Best Male and then National Best of Winners!! AND... Atlas won NATIONAL CHAMPION!!!!! I am STILL crying tears of happiness...... The boys were shown by owners new to the show world and handling and placed over multiple Top Ten dogs and people showing for years.
Anyways, I just wanted to share, we've had our share of many successes and also losses in our 10 years of showing but this was a huge one. Many judges won't put up puppies unless they are exceptional so I feel very honored that both boys earned such distinctions at such a young age
And for them both to be pulled out and win from such huge classes was really a testament to consistancy of type and quality which is something I have really been striving for.
In the dog shows at our Nationals there is only ONE Best of Winners, ONE National Champion and ONE National Grand Champion so it's huge when you win
Their owner plans on campaigning them both from the Grand Champion class once they earn that title (which should be really soon) so we will be back out next year to go after that National Grand Champion title
They are sired by my pride and joy, Crash (UAG-II, UWP, GRCH 'PR' Ravenloft's The Infernal Machine TT, CGC, TDI, BST, Cl2-R, PennHIP, OFA, DNA-VIP) so they have some big pawprints to fill
No official show photos yet but here are some shots from last weekend's wins
