Dancer 8 Months - 

Welcome to Dancer's page!  He is my homegrown boy from the Celebration litter whelped 4/26/2009.  He was the Yellow boy in the litter.  This fellow has a wonderful outgoing happy disposition and an infectious zest for life.  He is happiest when he is slobbering all over his big stuffed football.  I am having a lot of fun showing him as my first Bred by Exhibitor dog.

May 29 - 31, 2010 - Tulsa, OK Dancer went WD Sat & again Monday for two more points.  9 points and counting now!  He needs one more major and some singles to finish.  We'll take the summer off so he can regrow his coat and pick it up again this fall.

May 7-8, 2010 Belgian Sheepdog National Specialty - Had a wonderful time at the National Specialty with Dancer, despite the condition of his coat.  All my Belgians had an allergic reaction to a flea/tick preventative called TriForce.  It caused skin irritation and itching to such a degree that Dancer chewed out huge holes down to the pink skin along his back and tail.  Thanks to a fellow BSD owner, I contacted the vet and got a wonder spray called Gentomicin Spray.  It started working instantly to relieve the itching and within days Dancer's coat started to come back in.  He was still rather bald for the specialty, but I'm hoping he'll look better for his next show Memorial Day weekend.  In spite of his lack of coat, he placed third in the Bred by Exhibitor class!  I was so thrilled.  Met lots of great people and dogs at the show. Can't wait until next year in California.  I've already invited myself over to my sisters near LA for that week!

Mar 19, 2010 - Independence, MO.  Dancer went WD & BOW for his first 3 point major under judge Mrs Robert S Forsyth.  It's only his 4th weekend of showing and he now has 7 points!  

Mar 13-14, 2010 - Columbia, MO was Dancer's 3rd weekend of shows and what a weekend!  Saturday he surprised me by going WD and BOW over 3 very nice girls and 1 boy for 1 point under judge Christopher Tilghman Neale.  Then Sunday under Pat Hastings he went WD, BOW, and BOB over the same 3 girls plus two male specials for two more points.  Then she pulled him in groups for the first cut.  It was so exciting!  It was a great weekend!  Got to socialize with Linda Wagonner and her friend Margaret who introduced me to a FABULOUS chinese buffet in Columbia called The Great Wall.  Can't wait to eat there again.

Dec. 2009 - Dancer lost 3 teeth (P1 and P2's) chewing on cow hooves today.  I certainly hope they were baby teeth and will grow back in.  If not, he's still so nice overall that I don't  think it will affect his show career.  But it is a disappointment as I had wanted him for my first specials dog.

Nov. 8, 2009 Dancer earned his first point at the Springfield, MO show from the Bred By Exhibitor class under judge Pat Hastings. Fun day!

Oct 31-Nov 1, 2009 Dancer's very first weekend of showing went very well. Although he didn't place in the show, he did place 3rd in BBE Group competition and the judge was very complimentary.
