Brody Update and Show News

It’s time for another dog show weekend here at the Schach house.  Well, it’s actually more than a weekend.  I am leaving today for the Chicago area where Muffy will be showing on Thursday and Friday in the Midwest Boxer Club Specialty shows.  These are the same shows where her sire won Best in Specialty Show several years ago.  Then we head over to Crown Point, Indiana for shows on Saturday and Sunday.  These are majors (big shows)…and if Muffy wins, you will hear me whoopin’ and hollerin’ no matter where you live!

Brody was evaluated Sunday by professional handler, Amy Bieri, to see he could return to the show ring and be competitive.  Her answer was….YES! But he needs to lose 3 pounds.  Don’t I wish I only had three instead of 30!  But he has until this fall to accomplish that.  I have until Stampin’ Up!’s Convention. Here are a few pictures of chunky Brody with his clunky collar!

As is always the situation when I am on the road with the furkids, I will have limited Internet access. However,  I will definitely check my email.  If you have any questions during this time, please don’t hesitate to ask.  And please be sure to check out my Paper Player card on Sunday!  Until next time…

  12. BIG Congrats to Brody! I agree with the other comments, he looks great! Good luck with the show this week-end and safe travels. I am in Georgia so I may hear you shouting! Watching the Grans so my daughter and hubby can celebrate their 25th Anniversary. And guess where they will be! Just outside of Chicago! Hugs!

  13. Rooting for Muffy to win big this week! And great news for Brody, he gets to go back into action! Safe travels, Ann.

  14. My furbabies are crossing their paws for Muffy and I’m so excited for Brody!!

  15. Wishing Muffy good luck and congratulations to Brody. Brody is gorgeous as is, but I know they have to be pretty svelte for the ring.
    As for your desire to lose weight, trying going gluten free. Did the trick for me!

  16. Can’t see where Brody is going to find three pounds to lose on that sleek, handsome body! I’m so glad he’ll get to join his sisters back in the ring. Good luck to Muffy and you.

  17. Best wishes, Muffy!

    So happy about Brody’s good news. Though he is probably not happy about the three pounds.

    Safe travels.

  18. Best of luck to you and Muffy! And safe travels too. Wonderful news about Brody.

  19. Sending positive thoughts for Muffy to be at her very best for the shows. Is Lexi going too? I suppose Brody will be working really hard to lose those 3 lbs so he can be back on the circuit.

    Drive safe and have a wonderful trip.

  20. I sure can’t see three lbs on Brody. He looks great to me. I’m sure you will get the lbs off him however. Have a great next bunch of days.
