Also a HUGE thrill was getting this photo from the show photographer, Karl Reimer, of Olivia and Mom in the ring together. Thanks Karl!!! Photos courtesy & (C) Karl Reimer Photography.

North Country Specialty Photos

Aiden - Moonsetter Hell Yes

Last weekend was the North Country Gordon Setter Club Specialty - friend and photographer Karl Reimer (Reimer Photography) caught a couple lovely photos of two Moonsetter girls in the ring. Friend Diane also caught a particularly stunning photo of our boy Aiden - who, after a near crippling injury late last summer, wasn't expected to walk again. Giving his all for his human Mom, Heidi, Aiden proved that "hell yes!" he could walk ! :-)

The Lovely Darcy

A nice shot of Darcy and Olivia
Taking 3rd place in an 8 deep Open class was another Moonsetter girl "Regan" shown here (in front) with Mary Keiser - Olivia and Darcy lined up nicely behind them!
...and around
G-Litter girl Darcy (Moonsetter Grand Savoy) recently came to Minnesota to share some special time with us, and take in some of the larger shows here this summer. Piloted by our daughter Olivia, Darcy and Livi earned Reserve Winners Bitch to a 4 point major their first time out together. Thanks to Darcy's owner Denise for allowing Darcy to come and hang out at Camp Moonsetter for a while!! Here's a couple shots of them together.

Diane & Miley's Debut

Setup very nicely!

Diane Chouinard and her I Litter girl Miley made a nice showing at the same shows with Olivia & Darcy, Mary and Regan (who is also Miley's dam). A little nervous out of the gate, Diane proved to herself she could do it, and she presented Miley beautifully!

New Title for Doc!

With great pride, we announce a new title for a special D Litter boy named "Doc" who recently earned his Novice Jumpers title in agility. Human mom Marge has worked diligently with Doc towards this title, and reports that although the road wasn't an easy one, he was able to earn this title in just 5 trials. Congratulations to both Marge and Doc on a job well done!!
