Duffy got Winner's Dog Today at Malibu Kennel Club

Real Estate Agent with Sharon Paxson, Realtor® EQTY Forbes Global Properties 01501912

My dog Duffy is an irish setter and his AKC registered name is Conamara All or Nothing. Duffy was shown today at Malibu Kennel Club at the Orange County Fairgrounds in Costa Mesa, CA. 

He won, and got Winner's Dog, and was entered in the end of the show to go against Champions  for Best of Breed. He did not win Breed, but I was excited that he won Winner's Dog as this means he got another point towards his championship! His litter mate Teagan won best of breed and that is pretty exciting. It was fun to have the litter mates together in the same ring. Teagan is working on her Grand Championship.

My dog Duffy really enjoys the shows, the whole process from getting ready - meaning getting bathed, groomed, and brushed out, and the tail is wagging the whole time. The brushing out and drying does take time, for sure, but he likes it!!

After the judging is complete the Judge, and the handler and of course the dog are in a photo. It was fun to have a holiday setting for this one. 

The photo is with the handler and the Judge who selected him.

Happy Holidays everyone, and hope you are having a wonderful holiday season.

Glad to see Duffy come out with a win!  He's a good looking pup.  My boy is nowhere near as graceful - he may win a "fastest to get dirty after a bath" contest, but that's about it!

That's great. I had to Google Conamara and found it is the place in Ireland where this breed comes from. One learns something new everyday. cheers cvc

Congratulations to you and Duffy! I love Irish Setters. I had one once and loved my dog Shammy too. Duffy looks so beautiful and I'm glad she won and stole the hearts of those that came to see and judge! You have every reason on earth to be proud. You've invested lots of hours in giving Duffy a wonderful home and she loves you so too!
