We were at the Flagstaff Kennel Club Show on Sunday June 8th, 2008.  This was only Charlie's second show and he was in the open dog class.  Believe it or not, Charlie is still a puppy.  There were 9 total dogs in his Open Class with all three colors.  There were some big named handlers with nice dogs going against Charlie too.  My handler is a 16 year old Junior, Raygen who loves Charlie and owns one of his pups so she is the one who convinced me to let her show him.  I thought he was too immature to go against all those pros and experienced dogs that were fully grown and well behaved!  I let her show Charlie for the fun of it with out any expectations.  Charlie and Raygen have a special bond.  He adores her and watches her with stars in his eyes.  It was amazing to see how much in sync they were and how perfect he showed for her.  They won the open dog class and  then took "Winners Dog" and then took "Best Of Winners" 1...2...3... just like that.  Raygen is super excited too, this is the first time she's put points on a Lab.  She can't believe that she beat two big named handlers.  There were 32 Labs entered in this show so Charlie now has a 3 pt major.  Thank you to our judge that we won under, Mr.Wayne E. Bousek.
