The Western Washington Weimaraner Club puts on a Specialty Show every August at the King County Marymoor Park in Redmond, Washington.
This year a total of 59 weimaraners with a total of 84 entries participated in the dog show. There were entries for conformation, competitive obedience and agility taking place the weekend Aug.22 - 24, 2008.
















This is Cervelo, 7 months old in the conformation ring with professional handler, Rowan Norris Jones. A Judge goes over each dog in the ring comparing him/her to a mental picture of the perfect dog of that breed.
Each dog is judged for the following attributes:
1. Physical structure(head, teeth,feet,amount of bone, etc.
2. Condition(weight, coat condition, muscle tone, etc.)
3. Gait as seen from front, side and rear.
4. Temperament- showmanship, personality.

Here in the show ring the professional dog handler in this case Rowan Norris-Jones, uses his or her handling skills to achieve the perfect stack. Stack referring to a standard position in stance for the Weimaraner Breed. The handler uses her voice, hands and the most importantly a bait the weimaraner loves to eat. Bait can be chicken, beef, weiners, cheese etc.







































Once the handler has achieved the perfect stack position he or she tries to keep the position til the Judge can see how good the Weimaraner looks.

Lily in beginners agility class................

Lily and myself have being doing agility classes for the past few months which has been a fun exciting learning experience for both of us. Mostly, the learning experience has been on my part with learning how to use my voice and body movements to direct a very willing energetic Lily through the obstacle course. This demo shows only a few of the obstacles in an agility course and hope to show more of this fun filled event as able. And then there are the bloopers.......

Time out to relax and zone out.........................

Winston with the hedge hog and Lily with what is left of the octopus are relaxing using their kneading technique with paws and teeth.

Lily and her stuffed hedge hog which she loves to carry around in her mouth and use as a pillow when having a snooze.





























Lily loves to climb onto the top of the leather couch then stretch out to her full length extending her front and back legs. This time she has brought along her pillow substitute, one of her favorite toys.

Trying out a new sleeping position..................
