Mirra Takes on the Bred-By Class

And wins!

She earned first place both Saturday and Sunday at the Newnan show last weekend. She didn't get Winner's Bitch, but her aunt, Caledonia's Pursuit of Perfection aka Lexus, did, so we didn't mind too much. Lexus is Oscar's littermate and a beautiful girl of a completely different build from Chocolate. Lexus is well-muscled and svelte, versus Chocolate's heavier build. Lexus should have finished eons ago, but when she was out before, was always competing against either her mother or one of her littermates and seemed cursed to Reserve every time. These days, after two litters, she would smoke her sisters, I think. But then, she's always been a favorite of mine.

Mirra competed today in the Brierfield show and won Winner's Bitch and Best of Opposite. I would normally be jumping up and down in excitement, but we were the only girls showing, so no points! Ugh! The rain seemed to scare everyone away.
