Breed competition

We simply couldn't be more proud of our 12 year old daughter Olivia after attending this year's Gordon Setter Club of America National Specialty in Greeley, Colorado. Having her own dog to show in both Juniors and Best of Breed, she also got the job of showing our little spitfire Regan in the Open Bitch class when Mom broke her right arm. Not only did she do an absolutely fantastic job of showing the Moonsetter girls in juniors and the classes, but during the Best of Breed competition, in a ring of over 50 dogs she and Ailsing made the cut!! While Mom was busy trying not to throw up from nerves and excitement on the outside of the ring, calm Olivia was "all business" and poise on the inside. Here are some shots of Olivia with Reegs and Ailsing during the week-long show.
