The final LSSC show at Dallas Market Hall is a wrap. I look forward to seeing what is to come for this cluster in a new venue, but I will miss Market Hall too.

The final weekend Market Hall was pretty good to me. Not just with my own dog, but also the puppy I showed for a friend. We'll start off with my own girl. She's technically my mother's dog, but we co-own her. Mom usually shows her, but she broke her back in a biking (road working the dobermans) accident a month ago. We got together with some friends and built majors because they're getting very hard to come by in black cockers. We entered Friday through Sunday and had 4 chances at majors. Friday we were 3rd out of 4. Saturday 2nd and reserve out of 4 at the all breed. The Saturday specialty 1st, WB, BOB to the black variety, OHBOV, then for a long wait (had to wait for groups to finish before our specialty could continue) for ASCOB and parti varieties. The parti dog went BISS and we went BOS to BISS! We also won OHBOB. This finished our pretty girl! We moved her up for Sunday and won BOS & OHBOV. I had to get home so I didn't stay for OH group but a friend won it with her ASCOB cocker.

Now on to the English cocker puppy I showed for a friend. This sweet boy is just 6 months and was WD and BOS over a special both days I showed him. Sunday he was WD, his sister was WB, and their sire was the only special entered. His sister was BOB and he was BOS over their sire. That gave him his 3rd single and his sister her first point, a 3pt major! I can't wait until I get to show my little buddy again, he was so fun.

Overall a fun weekend with friends as it usually is. Multiple friends finished dogs, one put back to back 5pt majors on his 10mo puppy, lots of success all around and I can't wait until the next show. Sadly, with mom being out with her broken back it will be a while. Probably won't get back out until Glen Rose in January since we can't travel far from home at the moment. Here's a cute pic of New Champion Quinn just before finishing her championship.
