Hello subscribers! I've missed you! I'm ~hoping~ at least some of you have missed my newsletters! We had a big long busy summer. Lots of memories, lots of dogs! The biggest news that I'd like to share, is my Boxer named "Doug" aka CH Rocket's Bluecollar Revolution DS is now a CHAMPION! 

-Can you hear Queen singing "We Are The Champions" in the background too?-

Firstly, thank you Lord for listening to my endless prayers (a lot of those were "Please don't let me trip while I run"), my breeder, my handler who took him to shows when I was unable to, my friends, family, and my wonderful students who helped me, taught me, and encouraged me every step of the way. And of course, my little Dougie for being an absolute dream to show!

It takes 15 points to become a champion, a title which the dog holds his whole life. The points can be won by one male dog and one female dog in each breed. The Winner's Dog and Winner's Bitch receive these points. The number depends on the number of each sex competing in each breed. 

We have begun working towards our Grand Championship as well. And I have decided that before we start working towards another performance title, that we will work towards our Canine Good Citizen (CGC).

Don't worry, you'll hear more from me! I will try to set more time aside for writing an amazing newsletter in the coming months!

That's all for now. Just wanted to brag a bit ;)
