Joe's First Real Keep

12 weeks before this past weekends NC ADBA show we began getting a couple hounds ready. I think we did a pretty good job for our first real keep. I began with a lot of handwalking 5-10 miles a day 6 days a week, good food and plenty of clean water.

Anyways here is a couple pictures of my male before and after keep.

Began about here.

Kept getting progress until we reached a bit of a flat spot.

This is how he looked when we were done. I am going to work on a few things over the next 4 weeks for NJ show. I think we dragged too heavy of weight and his rear got a bit bulky, but his shoulders match. His back and ribs are rippling with muscle. He was in 3-5 yo males and he took home a 1st place and 2nd place ribbon this past weekend.

 

Outstanding Dutchy !!! Congratulations !!! :cool:

 

He's a good looking boy, I'll be looking for him at the show

 

Thanks guys! Yes NJ is going to be great as usual. the 3-5 male class is going to be tough, there were 11 or 12 dogs in that class in NC, all great dogs. Im guessing 15 plus in NJ.. Now I just gotta figure out maitenance lol.

 

My brindle Colby/Tab bitch also went through same keep and she placed 2nd in all three shows this past weekend in 3-5 females.

 

Best of luck to you and crew in NJ, Dutchy !!!
