Today Rocco competed in his first show in Ventura. Up to this point we have only been in one match and maybe 6 handling classes altogether. To say that we were nervous was an understatement. My husband Billy was handling him, yet I thought I was going to throw up. Rocco did act like it was his first time in the ring, however when he did well, he looked amazing. I am so thrilled to report that he took the forth place in his class today!!!!! We were honestly not expecting anything especially because there were so many nice dogs in his class. I also want to thank all the bulldoggers that were so helpful to us, everyone at the show was so wonderful to us. I especially want to thank our mentor Joyce. Her wisdom and experience is priceless and we could never thank her enough!
Congrats! Rocco looks awesome!
Good luck at your next show(s)!
Thanks everyone for your support and encouragement (pic)
Yesterday Rocco placed forth in the sweepstakes and won some $$$$$. Than later he competed in his class and took second. We were thrilled. Today we did not place, nevertheless, we had an amazing time. We took home three ribbons and some $$$, but most importantly, we learned soooo much from observing all of the pros. We were also elated for Rhiann from BDW, Mia and her did so well!We can't wait till the next show!!!!!

How exciting!!!--
That's just great Amy!!
I'm glad you're having fun & Rocco looks very nice!
Congratulations...now you have your feet wet in the real ring...

Welcome to the ring Billy& Rocco! Butterflies are best calmed with blue ribbons! Good job Team Rocco!

When will Amy be taking the big Roc in to the ring?
Perserverance isn't a long race.
It's a series of short races,
ran one after the other.

Great job,...
Keep it up and you'll be hooked. The first time is the hardest.
Well alright!
Way to go Billy, Amy and Rocco. It is kind of hard the first few times but once Rocco gets used to the ring and the judges it gets really easy. See you Saturday(in a few hours).

Awww, Congrats to Rocco!
The pics are too cute. I remember my first time and I was a mess, thank goodness for the nice bulldoggers who guided me as well. Being "in the ribbons" is wonderful for your first time out! It gets easier with practice, promise! Keep it up and soon you will be getting the blues then the purples!!!
Congrats again!!
