Last weekend myself and some of my dog club friends went down to the state fair to show our dogs! We had a blast. :-) We were there for two days. The first day was obedience. This is where you train your dog to sit, stay, heel, down, stand stay, and recall. Glory and I did ok. She is still a puppy, so I was not expecting her to do perfect. But, she did better at State then she did at our county 4-H fair! Good job Glory! :-) The next day was showmanship!!!!!!!! I LOVE showmanship. :-) Showmanship is where the judge looks at you and judges you on how good you show your dog. You have to place the dog's feet and know how to gate with them etc. There is more to do...but you get the idea. :-) My leader said that I did a very good job in my show! Glory did very good too :-) After I was done showing some of us kids played card games. Then our dog club leader got some chocolate covered bacon! Yes, chocolate covered bacon! We all tried it, it was GROSS!! :-| ICK!!!! After all the kids and dogs showed they had call backs. A call back is when the judge likes you and she or he will call you back and see you show again. It is really good to be called back...especially at the State Fair!! :-) After the day was over they had the awards! I got.......18th place out of 200 people!!! I was so happy!! :-) I got a big beautiful blue ribbon! Two people out of our club placed which is very good! We had seven club members go to State this year. Our dog club has 29 members. One award was in showmanship (me) and another was in agility (my friend)! :-) It was neat representing our county at the Indy State Fair this year!
