Ringside Candids From VIDFA Dog Show

Here are the ringside candid shots of our boy Mardi's first time in the ring. This photo captures his personality so perfectly! He's such a happy, confident, outgoing little guy!

And I love this one with my daughter Kathy, who's trained him so beautifully! They make a great team!

VIDFA Dog Show Weekend

This weekend we went to the Vancouver Island Dog Fanciers show with Mardi, and had a wonderful time despite the fact it was a very soggy and rainy two days.

Mardi and Kathy

We thought it would be fun to get him out for some show experience, as our local training classes were cancelled this Spring - the building where we train is being used by Fox Studios for storing props and cars for the TV series "Gracepoint". Mardi went Reserve Winners Dog both days, and had a great time.

Belmark Kel-Lani's Mardi Gras

Kathy and Adriana did some shopping at the show dog supplies vendor, and we all enjoyed hot fries and poutine from the food truck. It was also nice to meet some other Sheltie exhibitors here on the Island. These are a couple of photos that Adriana took at our grooming tent setup :)  There are also some ringside candid shots of Mardi's first time in the ring that we'll share as soon as the photographer sends them!
