Moose Dogs

This is another picture of Grand Finale who we met on Tuesday night! She is too young to be at the dog show, but many of her "relatives" are here.

Yesterday was the PSNEA Northwest Specialty. They flew in Mr. Nelson Huber, a judge from Texas for the one day competition. It was so much fun!

Chaos' breeder, Jan, had an amazing day. Dogs she bred won Best of Breed, Winners dog, Winners bitch. Mackenna handled Astra to her first major win. It was very exciting!

Mackenna was the only Jr. Handler competing. She won a Moose Dog leash and a beautifully embroidered apron to wear while she grooms Chaos.

After the competition, people who had rescued Elkhounds brought them into the ring to be introduce and do a little parade. It was so neat to see all the dogs now in forever homes with owners who love them so much!

From the ring, we moved to the Horse Barn where PSNEA were hosting a raffle and meal. There were so many prizes. We got lucky and won a few things. But Mackenna hit the jackpot with a huge moose statue. Elkhounds are actually Moose Dogs not Elk dogs. The statue weighs a lot and is a couple feet tall and wide. Now to find the perfect place for it at the house!

Now it's back to the Expo Center for another day of dog shows! Hope it goes as well today as yesterday!
