We Did it!!

I show a basset hound/ Newfoundland cross who is about two years oldand her name is Annie in 4H in her very first show she had to show against dogs that had years more practice and she got out of 12 in her class she got champion, the at the fair she got a blue in obed. and a red in showmanship. well anyway thats pretty good for a first time dog, and this year she got champion at the county fair the she went on the state and got blue, a half point away from champion, and i think thats pretty good beings she has never been to a dog show that big and to make matters even better my judge was the same judge i had the year before!!!! Then i cried because i saw this really instpiring thing, a dog with only three legs get reserve champ. and 2 blues, it was so cool i was told my dog couldnt show with a fractured leg but i had permission form my vet. So any 4H'ers out there if you get a chance to go to state fair take it i garentee you lots of fun!!!

Congrats to Annie! Do you have any pictures?

Congrats!! 4H is so much fun, I loved doing it as a kid. I used to show rabbits and goats.

Congratulations!!
I bet she is gorgeous!!! What a mixture!! Would love to see pics too!!!
I used to do 4-H also!!
I enjoyed watching the dog show at our fair except it was about 100 degrees that day and too darn hot!!! The only dogs that were doing what they were supposed to were the white ones!! The black ones were up and down!!! I felt so sorry for them!

Wow! That's great! We'd sure like to see some pics of this sweetheart!

Thanks ill try and post pics

Congratulations! We have 4H here too. Isn't there an age limit (person I mean)?

Congrats!! Can't wait to see pictures of Annie!

she's my little baby!

Congrats to Annie! Good job, girl!

Awww, congratulations to you sweet Annie!!! I'm so happy for you and your PROUD Mommy!!!:)

Way to go Annie!!! You are certainly doing something right. I agree with the others...we want pictures. 4H is such a great program and I LOVE that they don't make their animals be "pure" in order to be shown. Are you anywhere close to Duluth?? My parents had a house about 40 miles south of Duluth in Wisconsin that they were going to use as a retirement home, but decided to stay here in Indiana instead.

i Live in lyon county mn, i got a little pic of annie in the corner thingy on the side but its hard to see i havent figgered out how to post pics under the message yet. I'm so very proud of her. im going to try and attach a file

It's no wonder that Annie is so special to you. She's a beauty!

She is a beauty!!! And I just love her name. Congratulations on your 4-H honors!! You should be so proud!!!

Thanks, odie and annie so speical to me they have had a hard life before we got them odie was at gun point and where annie came from was not much better when she was really little before we owned her she and her brother duke, use to come over and try to find somthing to eat so i feed them out of pitty i knew where they came from and offerd the guy money for the two, and i found a home for duke, and still have my annie. they are such great dogs!! she is so great with kids she loves me 2 year old sister!!

Oh What Beauties!!!!!
i am glad that you got to keep Odie and Annie....they are wonderful!!!!
and 4-H is a great way to learn and have fun with your pets!!!!!

Ya i love 4H so much it's such a learning experiance! I wish every kid could join. To Bad the age limit is 18 i think they should have a specail showing thing for the leaders, but hey, i have a few years yet, so thats all right by then I'll find more trails in my area for my pups.
