In May 2010 we decided to give the world of UKC shows a try. Knowing next to nothing on how they were organized, etc., we obtained a registration number for Myah & set out with travel trailer in tow - to spend the weekend at one of these UKC weekends. So, up to Ravenna OH we went, entered Myah in the days' 2 shows and then waited to see how the day would unfold. After quite a bit of waiting the the judging order was posted for the Gun Dog group. The entry for this day's first show was 1 Sussex, 1 Field (Myah), a handful of labs & a handful of Goldens (both the lab & Goldens entries included Grand Champions amongst their entries). Myah earned her first breed points and went on to earn a Grp 3 - thus counting as her first 'win with competition'. With that, we were pretty encouraged & were ready for the afternoon show to get underway. The rest of the afternoon wasn't quite as positive and then the skies just let loose. It rained & then poured...we barely got out of the Group ring ....back to the Suburban & the skies let loose - yet again! Time to call it a day for Saturday. We were there, set up for the weekend at the campground so figured, let's go back and see what happens Sunday. Saturday's judges were 2 men,
Sundays are 2 women. Similar entry as Saturday AM, the Sussex is back & a
handful of labs & Goldens... more labs today & I honestly don't remember the
breakdowns other than I know there were, again, more Grand Champions in both
labs & Goldens.
