Inde is truly a special dog here at Lightning. As she was our first "show dog." Before
her our other Belgians were unable to show in the conformation ring. So all I ever did
was obedience, until Inde came along. She started showing at the tender age of 6
months in conformation, then we spent many years in just showing in 4-H and Junior
Showmanship. We competed many years at the Ohio State Fair, whether is
obedience or grooming & handling we did it. My last year to show her at the Ohio
State Fair, before using Magnum we placed 7th under Judge Joe Merchant.
As we showed in AKC Junior Showmanship we worked our way up to Open Senior. It
wasn't until 2003 we decided to get back in the breed ring. With some help from a
friend Inde finished in less then 12 months. Her first points was a 4 point major! And
her last points to finish was another 4 point major! Even though she has two legs
toward her AKC Novice obedience title she is officially retired as of 2005.
