New LCX 3 title!

Just like last year, we had a great weekend at the BGCC's spring AKC lure coursing trial. Spirit seems to love the hot weather and ran beautifully! From the bottom of my heart, watching her run makes me smile and she loves it SO much!

To keep things exciting, Spirit went BOB both Friday and Sunday! At just 2.5 years old, her BOB win on Friday earned her, her LCX3 title! I am so proud of this red girl!

Run on Spirit, Run on!

AKC Lure Coursing, Hanover, PA

Back to back Best of Breeds and then, to top it off, a Best in Field!!!

We had a great time in Hanover, PA, this past weekend. The weather was hot (which by the way Spirit LOVES!) and the competition was tough, but Miss Spirit went BOB both days and then went BIF on Sunday. Thanks to all that made this a wonderful experience for us! This makes 8 BOBs out of 13 trials so far this year! Congrats to Spirit!!! I am very proud of this special red girls (as always!!!)

Lure Coursing in Camden, SC

Every day I get to see this "red" girl run puts a smile on my face.

While it was HOT and HUMID in Camden, Spirit could have cared less. She ran great and had tons of fun! I don't know what this girl would do if she couldn't "chase bunny"!
Congrats to Spirit on her 6th of 11 Best of Breeds so far this year!

Run on Spirit, Run on!
We are proud of you as always!!

New LCX II Title!!!

Congratulations Spirit - what a way to start the new year!!!

We went to our first AKC Lure coursing trial this past weekend in Camden, SC. It was wonderful weather! Spirit was SO excited to be on the coursing field aga

in after 3 months off. She went crazy once she knew where she was.

Saturday - a great day - she had a blast and placed first in the large specials stake - a 4pt. major!

Sunday - even better - she placed first again in the specials stake and then went on to take Best of Breed! - 5pt. major

She only needed 7pts. to earn her LCX II - what an accomplishment - all by the age of 2 years and 4 months old!!

I am so very proud of you Spirit - Run on, Spirit, Run on!

Thanks Mike for the photo
