We traveled to Atlanta, Georgia for 3 days of shows and the hopes of showing we have a bitch worthy enough to be in the ring. Was her Best of Breed win just a fluke?
Friday was a heart stopper. Judge Gary Doerge pulled Bindi and another bitch, Sugar, out together and looked them over and then sent them around. Sugar misbehaved chasing Bindi. He then switched them up and sent them around again and this time Bindi messed up -and lost Winner's Bitch. She did get the Reserve win, though. Sugar went on to win the Breed, so that made it feel a little better.
Saturday was a judge that put up a very nice bitch. Bindi was 3rd in the Open.
Sunday, Bindi went dead last in the Sweeps class. Our hearts were sinking.
Until the regular classes. Judge Toddie Clark moved a lot of bitches around behind Bindi (who was first on the ring) and I am sure gave many owners heart attacks in the process - not to mention one professional handler who prematurely cheered from the sidelines prior to knowing just where Mrs. Clark was going to place the bitch she usually handles.
What a thrill. She won the hugely competitive Open class. All the other class winners came in and Toddie Clark sent them around one time and immediately picked Bindi. There was no back and forth. Bindi was her pick.
Another 5 point major.
Her 2nd major.
10 points to date. Only 5 more to go.
We came to Atlanta and we showed off a bitch that can compete
The hosts of the show were wonderful and the prizes were spectacular. Below is what Bindi took home on Sunday
