Her 4th Best of Breed
Colorado Springs Kennel Club
(June 2010)

6-14-10 There were 18 Bassets at the Colorado Springs show, and Rhubarb was delighted to take Best of Breed on Sunday. She was also awarded Select Points (toward her Grand Champion title) on Saturday. We will not discuss Mango. [15]
5-16-10 Important accomplishments at the Albuquerque show: Rhubarb earned her Rally Advanced (RA) title, Tangerine earned his Rally Novice (RN) title, AND Mango earned her first Obedience qualification! [15]
4-13-10 A great weekend at the TBHC Specialty and Brighton All-Breed shows: Tangerine finished his Championship with a 5-point major and took Best of Winners; as he was Pineapple's 5th puppy to finish, she earned her Register of Merit (ROM) title -- very prestigious! Plus...Rhubarb completed the first 2 of 3 required quals for her Rally Advanced title, while Tangerine completed the first 2 of his Rally Novice quals. We don't discuss Mango's attempts at Obedience. [15]
2-8-10 Pineapple's puppies had a big time at the Hobbs show: on Saturday, Tangerine took Best of Winners, and Mango made her first attempt at Obedience (unsucessfully...but she had fun). On Sunday, Tangerine again took Best of Winners, Rhubarb took Best of Opposite Sex, and Mango again enjoyed a try at Obedience. [15]
11-2-09 We all enjoyed the Pueblo show: on Saturday, Rhubarb took Best of Opposite Sex, then raced to the Rally ring and completed her RN title with a perfect score of 100! On Sunday, she took Best of Breed -- her 3rd BoB in as many shows. [15]
11-2-09 The Amarillo show was great: Rhubarb took Best of Winners and Best of Breed on Sunday; her 15th point -- SHE'S A CHAMPION! (see photo below)   She also got the first 2 legs of her Rally Novice title (3 needed). Plus...her brothers, Blackberry and Tangerine each got a point. [15]
10-11-09 A successful weekend at the Los Lunas show: Rhubarb took Winner's Bitch and Best of Opposite on Saturday, then Winner's Bitch, Best of Winners and BEST OF BREED on Sunday; two more points. [14]
9-6-09 Rhubarb had a fine weekend at the Lubbock show: she took Winner's Bitch and Best of Winners on Saturday, then Winner's Bitch again on Sunday; two more points. She also took First Place in the Bred-By-Exhibitor Hound Group! [12]
9-6-09 Officially ending her Summer Vacation, Rhubarb attended the Roswell show; unfortunately, her scheduled competition was a no-show, so no points were available. At least all was not lost: on Saturday, her brother, Blackberry, took Winner's Dog, Best of Winners and Best of Breed! [10]
6-8-09 Thoroughly enjoying herself all weekend in Colorado Springs, Rhubarb took Winner's Bitch, Best of Winners and Best of Opposite Sex on Saturday; she earned 2 more points. On Sunday, her brother, Tangerine, took Winner's Dog and Best of Winners; it was his first major! [10]
5-12-09 Not a great showing at the Albuquerque show, although Rhubarb did take Reserve Winner's Bitch both days (#2 out of 9 bitches, but no points) and Best Bred By Exhibitor on Saturday. Two more judges on probation. [8]
4-13-09 Rhubarb had an outstanding 3 days at the TBHC Specialty and Brighton All-Breed shows! She took Winner's Bitch and Best of Winners at the Specialty on Friday (a 4-point major), and then took Winner's Bitch again on Sunday (her 2nd major). Her sister, Pumpkin, took Winner's Bitch on Saturday. [8]
4-6-09 A truly wretched weekend at the Midland Dog Show. We did nothing...and several judges were permanently deleted from our Christmas Card List. [1]
2-17-09 A good weekend at the Denver show, where she took Winner's Bitch and Best of Opposite Sex on Monday. Her brother, Blackberry, took Winner's Dog on Sunday and Monday and Best of Winners on Monday. [1]
