Durango Kennel Club

Congrats to WindyPine's Batten Down the Hatches CA aka Gusto on winning Best of Breed all 3 days from the classes against a special 2 of the 3 days in Durango, Colorado last weekend.  He is a lovely boy with not only amazing looks but a temperament that absolutely superb.

Thank you to his awesome handler Kristen Read of Mountain Grown Kennels and of course his co-owners Nancy and Dick Savidge for all the hard work they have done with this special boy. 

He is just over a year old and about half way to his Championship now and surely will finish with ease.

Lure Coursing

I traveled out for my first weekend of Lure Coursing and, of course, my dogs did not disappoint.  I took 4 adults with me down to Peyton CO, a 3 hour drive each way both Saturday and Sunday.  Gusto and his family met me there as well.  All the dogs ran 2 Legs and on Saturday and finished their titles with their third leg on Sunday.

Thanks to Jennifer Saunders for the awesome photos from the show!
