Each Fall, the National Capital Chesapeake Bay Retriever Club holds a Specialty Show here in Maryland and it always draws a nice entry. At a few special shows each year, we hold Sweepstakes competition for both puppies and veterans as a way to showcase the youngsters and the elders in our breed. It's very special when our dogs are recognized at these events. Puppies can compete until 18 months of age and veterans can begin to compete as veterans at 8 years of age. This past Saturday, Gudgeon competed in the Puppy Sweepstakes and was awarded Best in Sweepstakes. She is still a wiggly puppy, but is learning the ropes and we are very proud of her. If all goes well, she can compete in one more Puppy Sweepstakes in late Winter before she ages out. Special thanks to Nat Horn for chairing this special show year after year.
