Twister & I were in our FIRST conformation show this past weekend (pics)

We showed at the very competitive "winter circuit" in Brooksville, Florida - guess you could say it was baptism by fire as it was both of our first time ever in the breed ring and this show circuit, which runs about 11 days, is known for professional handlers!

I think we held our own and I was extremely proud of my little man for showing at an outdoor show, in nasty weather, in a big scary tent, etc..

We placed 2nd each day (shhhh! don't tell anyone, but the first day only had 2 in the class - however the 2nd day, we earned our placement)! Here are some pics I thought I'd share...

grooming the night before - my kitchen island makes a lovely "grooming table"!!

who would think one bulldog could use so much "stuff"! LOL

and as the Zohan would say "all silky smooth"!! (love that movie)LMBO

at the "big show"...and yes, Twister was the only bulldog in a soft crate....he's a well behaved obedience dog after all! LOL

in the show ring on Sunday, it's a bit dark, the ramp was placed inside the tent because of rain - yuck!

the fruits of our labor on Monday...I think Twister would have rather had a toy than a ribbon! LOL

One tired puppy - when I opened his van crate door when we got home, he just kind of melted out of it!

I finally caught a "tippie" on film - yippie!!

thanks for looking everyone and for your support - we are loving the show ring and cannot wait to share our next big adventure!!

Thanks Judy!

Sunday was rough for both of us - I was stressed, weather was horrible, Twister was scared of the tent and wouldn't move in the ring, I forgot to present him to the judge on our down and back, etc., etc.

Monday I went early and walked him in and out of the grooming tent 10 or more times, until he was walking by my side with no worries...I was much more relaxed and confident in the ring that day too, since I knew what was expected and I think it all traveled down the leash because Twister was awesome too!! I was very proud of him - glad we ended on a high note! LOL

LOL!!

He kept jumping up to get the ribbon when we were trying to take a picture - so I just let him have it, then he was happy! LOL

Good boy!

First of all, Twister, you are one sexy thang posing on the counter after your pampering session!

Secondly, congrats on your first conformation ribbon (I hope it tasted good). I'm sure it won't be your last.

Way to go Twister
