While I haven't posted much, covid has challenged all of us in the show world. I focused last Fall on showing and finishing the CH on my beautiful Kuvasz "Anna" Sumeria's N Littleflock the Prophetess "Anna" is a lovely example of a well bred Livestock Guardian dog, capable of any task required and a great family member. She hasn't meant a well meaning stranger but show any threat to her flock and family...... We has started doing some detention work (scent) and find it fascinating for both of us.
And now to the great Louisville Cluster: We were only able to show Thursday and Friday due to the Corona concerns "Ransom" GRCH Littleflock Tougher Than Nails was Select Dog, Best Bred By Champion On Thursday Friday, "Ransom" was Best of Opposite Sex and Best Bred By Champion for 2 more Grand Champion Major wins "Rachel" Littleflock Healer of the Broken was Best Bred By both days

Soon to be known as CH Littleflock Standing with the Big Toughs "Cullen" finished his Championship going BOB over a great group of Specials on Saturday and Sunday moving up to the CH Specials ring again went BOB for his first GRCH major win.

I have been very remiss in updating our show success. Working on my AKC Judging license has been consuming most of my show time. However: the youngsters are moving along towards their Championships. The Michigan Apple Blossom cluster gave "Cullen" and "Rachel" their first major win each. We've picked up a few points along the way but are still seeking the finish line. While we didn't get to show at our 2018 National specialty, I had a delightful time judging Sweepstakes. There was a lovely entry and I think the fancy can be reassured that our breed is staying true to our Standard.
