Staten Island, NY - Staten Island Companion Dog Training Club Agility Trials:  Crystal is competing in the Excellent classes again, and today she had a clean run, earns a second place finish, and she earns her first leg in Jumpers! Crystal now has one leg towards her AXJ title. Good job Crystal!

Skyline Agility Club of Northern New Jersey - AKC trials - Yorktown Heights, NY:Her first time competing in the Excellent classes ... Crystal has a clean run in Standard, and with it comes a third place finish in her class! The course was difficult, and few dogs in the large entry actually qualified. Crystal now has one leg towards her AX title!

Ramapo Kennel Club, 50th Anniversary dog show, Augusta, NJ:  Lylah is at it again! Under Judge Laura Dedering, our youngest girl takes Winners Bitch and Best of Opposite Sex for another point. We're really proud of Lylah, as she's beginning to display more maturity in front of the show judges. Also proud of Lylah was her sire, Logan.  Showing his daughter the correct way to strut your stuff before a show judge, Logan also entered the ring and won Best of Breed (beating his daughter)!  Naturally, Margaret couldn't handle both dogs in the ring at the same time, so Terry was ready to pitch in. That was, until a good friend offered to spare Terry the embarrassment of displaying his poor handling skills.  New toys for Lylah and Logan ... hooray!

Ladies Kennel Club Agility Trials, Old Westbury, NY: A bumper leg for Crystal ... She didn't really need to compete in Standard Open Jumpers with Weaves today, but Crystal earned another first place finish - with a clean run - in her division!  She will continue to compete in the Excellent classes from now on (oye ...). 

The Long Island Cluster, Oyster Bay NY - Suffolk County Kennel Club dog show (Sept. 27) - Lylah takes Winners Bitch and Best of Opposite Sex to win her first point in the conformation ring under judge Marilyn C. Spacht. Lylah was both poised and beautiful as she strutted her stuff in the ring.

Westbury Kennel Association dog show (Sept. 28) - Logan enters the conformation ring and wins Best of Breed under judge Jon R. Cole.  Not too shabby, considering he paused on his way to the ring to roll around in the mud (classic Logan).  Pretty good weekend for the Islandflats "L" dogs!

Brookhaven Kennel Club AKC Agility Trial (Sept. 21) - Yaphank, NY:  In Standard Open, Crystal earns a first place finish, and in Open Jumpers with Weaves, she earns another first place finish.  That means two new titles for Crystal !!!  Crystal is now known as: TLC Starlite's First Gleaming CD RA OA OAJ NAC RL1 CGC

We definitely need to make more space for Crystal's awards and ribbons!

We'd like to wish Logan CH K'Mander Island Runner RN CGC a very happy 4th birthday!

Frosty Paws and toys all around!  HAPPY BIRTHDAY LOGAN!
