Such Good Little Puppies! 2012 ASCA Nationals

  It's all over but posting the win photos:  I'm talking about a week of shows in Bakersfield with 1300+ Aussies in attendance.  That yearly occasion to see just what you are made of, in the world of Aussies.  I had 3 puppies from our "Time" Litter (CH Hearthside Nothin To Lose CD RN x CH Ebbtide Fern) shown and they did just fine, thank you.  It would not have happened without the help of an old friend, Karen MacDonald, who flew out from Minnesota, she thought, to pick up her new puppy. I'm not sure she knew it included "helping" me: showing multiple pups, washing multiple pups at 7am, loading and unloading puppies to and from the RV to the ring, and picking up lots of poop.  Ahhh, the glamour of a national dog show.  Happily, all our hard work paid off handsomely for Ebbtide Unnamed 1, 2 and 3 (unnamed at Nationals - now named).
