Celestial Dunkirk The Real McCoy aka went to his first AKC show on Friday. He just turned 6 months old. It was a bit hard to wake Bones up at 4:30 am but once he realized a car ride was involved he was out the door! He is an awesome traveller and was no problem on the 3 hr trek to the Greater Philadelphia KC show-even though this was his first long trip without Grandpa Kirk. Once we got to the show Bones had a great time meeting people and checking out all the sights and sounds. I was happy that he had no trouble with the sounds of the dryers or barking in big indoor space. He was so relaxed ringside he was rolling on his back, stretching out just praying someone would notice and provide a belly scratch.
When it was our turn to go into the ring Bones was ready to go. He did his first go around with his head up and tail wagging--I almost couldn't keep up! Shades of Grandpa Kirk! He was bit wiggly with the stack but I got him set decently. I let Mrs Canalizo know this was his first show and she started to blow kisses at him and talk sweet nothings. I thought Bones' tail might come off he was getting so wiggly! His down and back was under control and his free stack not bad at all. He was a pro by the time we were going around for Best of Winners.
Bones was Best of Winners for his first show! He made me work hard for the photograph but overall he had a great introduction to the big indoor shows! It was fun for me as Mrs Canalizo was the judge who finished Kirk and I was happy to bring another generation of Celestial mastiffs. And I thoroughly enjoyed Bones' attitude in the ring. It's never a bad show day when your dog is really enjoying himself.
Janice tagged along and was able to get some photos and video of Mr. Bones:
