Since my sister, Jen has a harder time getting off work now that she works at Petco, I offered to take her Standard Poodle, Jewel to the dog shows. They were in Blackfoot, Idaho. It was a lot of fun, and the first time I have gone to a dog show by myself (well I was with Susan one of our friends), anyways I learned a lot and can't wait to go to the next show in July in Eagle, Co. Jewel did good, she is 10 months old so is still very much a puppy and learning to the ropes of being a show dog. It was just a little slightly intimidating that the #4 Standard poodle in the country was there! Who's handler REALLY likes Jewel, she told me a couple of times how pretty Jewel is and how nice she was. I got some show tips from another handler there as well, so hopefully the next show will go smoother for us. Here are a couple pictures of Jewel
