Best of Breed! Sioux Falls Day One!

Here are all of Oscar's ribbons he has won so far this year...  Today we won best of breed and got to advance to the Group Class which is the farthest we've ever made it!  It was a first for us today.  Oscar did extremely well today and I was very proud of him.
 Here we are with our first judge and first class.  You can see Oscar is pretty frisky.  And the ring was small!! It was a bit tough with the running...  But I didn't wipe out so that's a bonus!
Ultimately we were the victors and walked away with the best of breed.  The judge was very complimentary of us.  That was nice.
When you move onto the Group Class, you get to show against all the other best of breeds in the Working Group.  I ended up in a huge class with lots of other really cool dogs..
We made good friends with the St. Bernard next to us.  His owner/handler carries a seasoned pork chop in his pocket...  Just for his St. Bernard...  We had a pretty funny conversation during the class.  Apparently the St. Bernard won't eat just any old pork chop...  It's gotta be a seasoned pork chop!
waiting...waiting...
It was a big class and we had to wait quite awhile.  Finally it was our turn!
Our turn Mom?

You can see Oscar still has the problem of his rear end outgrowing his front end.  Give him a few more months and he'll get caught up...
So Oscar did a fantastic job at our first day of the three day Sioux Falls Dog Show.  Wish us luck tomorrow!  Tomorrow we are going to try out a professional handler to see how it goes...  I'll let you know.  :-)
Always in the back seat!
