LOL yeah I know, that's how he is.. too good for pictures!

I just entered him into another AKC show at the end of this month. The 24th is a Terrier specialty, so that'll be fun. My breeder is going to try to make it, but she's 10hrs. away so it's a big trip for her. BUT, her handler that she co-owns one of Sako's brothers with is supposed to be there and might handle Sako for me (for free!), which will be really cool.

My friend loaned my the life jacket to use and that thing is just awesome. He was able to learn HOW to swim without drowning (LOL) and not use up all his energy. He had the front legs down, but wasn't understanding that you must keep kicking with your back legs the whole time til today. He's such a dork.

Well, he's swam without the life jacket on before, and he did okay, but I knew it'd help. So I'll probably keep him in it the next few times he swims to let him practice more, then take it off to see how he does :)

Kady, he's looking GREAT!!!

I love the swimming-- I was just saying today how I miss having a dog that likes to swim. It's so much fun to take them swimming and my parents have a lake house we go to a lot. I used to have one that loved to swim and loved to go for boat rides. The 2 I have now don't even want to get their tootsies wet.

Thanks :)

We had to pull all of them in at first to get them to realize swimming was fun and not scary.. once they caught the "bug", they couldn't get enough! I really suggest a life jacket for dogs that are iffy.. once Sako realized that it would pretty much do the work for him, he was much more into it than he has been without the life jacket :)

Sako had his second AKC show yesterday & Friday :) He was such a good boy. Only Am Staff puppy, as usual, so we beat ourselves :teehee: Nothing with the big boys, which is no big surprise as Am Staff pups very rarely beat the adults.

Friday was a Terrier Specialty, so that was fun, and my judge was great. Really liked Sako and took the time to really go over him and watch, despite him being the only pup.

Yesterday was an all breed show, and my breeder was there with Sako's dad. She's very happy with Sako (she hasn't seen him in person since he was 9wks.), so I'm happy to hear that! The judge was SO odd and had everyone in a tiz.. he had us doing a tiny triangle, and was very rushed. Every other time I've shown, I go in, stack Sako, judge looks at him, then we go around the ring. Come back, do the exam, then do an up and back and at the end stand and look at the judge. Yesterday, I walked into the ring, and he immediately tells me to do a triangle.. ok.. so I did, get to the end and he doesn't even give me a chance to get him stacked for the exam, just immediately goes to look at his bite. So that threw me off! Makes me mad because Sako's stack is great, and I didn't even get the chance to show that off. Oh well.

Then when I went in with the adults, there was 4 of us (including Sako's dad), and when we walked in, he didn't even have us stack them! Any other time, they usually have us stack, judge walks down the line and looks everyone over, then we go around. Nope, not that judge. So we go around in the tiny triangle again and we're done. He liked Sako's dad, gave him BOW, and I believe he got his last major, so that's a good thing, but it was just so weird. It was like he picked who he liked when we were standing outside of the ring and just rushed us through once we got in. But all judges are different.. this one was just WAY different LOL.

I'm so mad though, barely got any pictures. I really need an external flash for my camera. But, here are the few pictures that turned out.. they look awful :(

This will be our last AKC show for awhile, going to let him grow up a bit. He goes in there with the big boys and it's almost laughable. He has SO much filling out to do. We have a UKC show at the end of August, where he'll most likely finish his Ch. (he's halfway there), then we'll see how he looks as far as AKC shows go.
