Rio showing at the National in Sweepstakes. She went 2nd in her class - I was thrilled. This was only her second show and she was such a trooper.  June 2010

Here she is again - 6 months old!

Rio moves so easy!!

Just look at those pretty triangles!

She even freestacked for me - not bad for a 6 month old puppy!!

Beautifully clean rear - just like her mother moved!!

Rio in regular classes - 6-9 month puppy class at the National.  It was REALLY hot and humid that day!!

Rio went with us to the show this weekend to get some training and socialization. We are still training on the stack!

I just love her head and expression.

Rio went for her first day of field training - she had a blast! She loved running with the big dogs. She pointed and was interested in the birds - good first day!! 2/27/10
