ARBA Salmon RunClassic
Renton Washington
July 2004

The weather was very hot in Renton this weekend, so much so that ARBA
moved the Sunday shows to Saturday, to get the entire weekend's worth of
competition done in one day. Gruelling, but at least that meant
we could all go home early.

Here is Mysteria, braving the heat in the ring.

As usual, our tent became the kids tent.
Besides the weather, the hot topic of the day was...
GameBoy, of course!

Because of the size of the show (it was smaller due to the heat),
and because I was worn out after Show #2, Bradley asked if he could take Myst
in to Show #3. Well, it IS all about having fun, so what the heck!

Here is Bradley, his first time in an actual show,
taking Mysteria on a down and back.






Here is Bradley getting some helpful advice from an ARBA judge.
(Do you think they'de have let him in if they'de known
he was only 11? Or autistic?)

Here they are, taking a break between rounds!




Getting back to it!
Here is Bradley and Myst
in the Working Group Competition.
(He did better then me! Big Showoff!)




Bradley and Mysteria took Winners Bitch,
Best of Breed, and Group 3.
WAY TO GO, GUYS!
And on your first time out, too, Bradley!
I could not be prouder!

The bond between Bradley and Mysteria is very strong.
She understands his special needs and helps him in so many
ways. This is the way a corso should be with her family.
