Colorado Kennel Club, 2019

This year we brought Wilma to the famed National Western Stock Show Complex.


She was the only female and only class Tibetan Mastiff exhibited.


She was awarded Best Opposite Sex (BOS) and Best Owner-Handled (OH) both days.


She had a wonderful time meeting people and dogs.


She passed the Canine Good Citizen (CGC) test, the CGC Advanced test, and the CGC Urban test. 

At the encouragement of the examiner, we attempted the CGC Trick Dog test, but like most TMs and LGD breeds, she's not keen on doing tricks for the sake of doing tricks.  She did manage to complete two of five tricks, which was two more than I expected.  ;-)

As I've mentioned before, this in one of our favorite shows because it draws a large non-dog-show crowd, so we have the opportunity to introduce the breed to people who have never seen a Tibetan Mastiff in person.

They have a way of surprising us, don't they? My Mutt has never taken food without permission, even if it's on the floor or eye level. Last night she gracefully & gently liberated a piece of cheese off the appetizer tray from the coffee table. It was mortifying.
