My weekend brag
Beau showed at the UKC Premier this weekend in Kalamazoo, MI and won
Reserve Champion on Sunday. He beat a nice bitch that I think is better than he is. Footage from Premier was videotaped for future airing on Outdoor Life Network. Some footage of Beau was filmed. I don't know if it will end up on the cutting room floor, but it was recorded. We even got to talk to Wayne Cavinaugh for a little bit on Saturday at te Kalamazoo Kings/UKC "Take Your Dog to the Park Night." My brother, his wife, and their dog (Beau's 3/4 brother from the same breeder-- Cat's Cradle's Jake, a black/brindle bobtail boy) came on Sunday to cheer us on and Beau was happy to see some familiar faces. Beau lived with my brother and his wife for a couple of months and helped them decide to get Jake. Beau REALLY likes them--plus he and Jake are partners in crime. I have the official word from Therapy Dogs International that Beau has been certified as a therapy dog. Been waiting a while on pins and needles (the packet came while we were at Premier). We're now working on his U-CD and U-CFO. Jake's littermate Phoenix (a red leopard bobtail) won the Altered Male (non licensed class) and then Best Altered at the Catahoula Specialty on Thursday over a black and tan longtailed female that was a conformation Champion and ranked in Top Ten before she was retired. VERY cool. I was so happy for Pheonix and his family. -Amanda 2x-BIMBS CH Cat's Cradle's Beaufort, CGC, TDI Lucy Anna Skye, MB-CD, CGC http://www.uberpest.com |

Maybe the judge saw something you didn't? Footage from Premier was videotaped for future airing on Outdoor Life Network. Some footage of Beau was filmed. I don't know if it will end up on the cutting room floor, but it was recorded. In my experience, they're very slow to air - just when you've given up hope, it'll be on TV. OLN is very good at getting back to you with estimated schedules, though. -- --Matt. Rocky's a Dog. |

But even though we knew how it would end, it was still excellent coverage. -- Melinda Shore - Software longa, hardware brevis - Prouder than ever to be a member of the reality-based community |

Perhaps they put a lower priority on Canadian events, or the hold-up is due to Polar Bear Productions which provides OLN with Canadian coverage. -- --Matt. Rocky's a Dog. |

I think OLN Canada has different programming from OLN in the US. Regardless, I used to think they were a great channel but the amount of coverage they show that I enjoy is shrinking as they find ways to squeeze in more rodeo programming and guys-sitting-around-in-fishing-boats programming. They had one summer of all yacht racing, all the time, and while I used to race sailboats I found it to be just too boring. When they did more human-powered outdoorsy programming they did have a lot of stuff from Canada, including a program to teach adventure racing and a series on hiking trails in Canada. They recently had a series on avalanche dogs up at Whistler. You'd think with all this hunting programming that they're begun carrying they could find a way to squeeze in more retriever stuff, at least. I'd really enjoy a show on retriever training, even though my dogs' idea of retrieving is to go get something and then eat it. -- Melinda Shore - Software longa, hardware brevis - Prouder than ever to be a member of the reality-based community |

There's a great deal of cross- over programming, though. I'd really enjoy a show on retriever training, even though my dogs' idea of retrieving is to go get something and then eat it. Subscribe!1! "All Dogs, All the Time" - but not like the fluffy stuff on Animal Planet. And no Coren, even on the Canadian version. -- --Matt. Rocky's a Dog. |

I get my TV via satellite and get every religious station in North America, not to mention my absolute favorite station that has full-time programming about China, in Spanish. But no dogs-only station (except for ABC, ha ha ha). There was a lot more dogsledding on TV this year, including a network broadcast of coverage of the UP 200. I'm hopeful that coverage will continue to expand - mushing seems to be becoming more popular, with skijoring taking off even faster. -- Melinda Shore - Software longa, hardware brevis - Prouder than ever to be a member of the reality-based community |
