Emmy had a huge day at the Ohio State Fair Dog Show on Monday, July 29, 2013. She started the day with showmanship. Although Emmy answered the questions well, Coco was just too shy around the judge to do well. Plus, the judge asked competitors to do a more advanced pattern, and Emmy wasn't prepared for it. (heavy sigh...) Fortunately, Emmy was able to put that event behind her and focus on You and Your Dog. She did great in the interview, and Coco cooperated better. They earned a great score, resulting in second place in the state, second only to a pair from Franklin County (the apparent kings of that event, given that a Franklin County youth won every single You and Your Dog catagory). After You and Your Dog, Emmy competed in Rally B, and Coco did fantastic! Unfortunately, Emmy breezed right by one of the signs, resulting in an automatic deduction (heavy sigh...). All in all, though, Emmy and Coco had a good day. After the competition, Emmy went up on the midway with Ellie-Kate and Britti for a quick ride before the others left to go home. Emmy and Christie went back to the hotel to rest up for another day at the dog show.
2nd place in the state!!
