Olivia, aka "Livi", "Liv", "Peanut", "Oh-E" and "O-O" is our daughter. In the spring of 2009 she attended a show with Mom, and became hooked on the world of dog shows. Sure, she'd attended shows before, but it had been over 2 years. She came home from that show, put a show lead on one of the Gordons, and practiced in the front yard for an hour. Determined to get in the ring and learn the ropes, Olivia planned to enter the very next show. A few shows came and went before she finally braved the actual entry process, but in June 2009, she entered her very first dog show: The North Country Gordon Setter Club Specialty.
Olivia's Juniors dog and second best friend is our Aisling. "Ashie" is now solely owned by Olivia, and they're relationship both in and out of the ring is very special. Olivia does all her own grooming, and has turned into a very accomplished show groomer. She helps in the grooming shop, and also helps keep the Gordons looking their best.
In July 2010, Olivia's upcoming Juniors dog "Conall" was born at Moonsetter (J-Litter). In addition to being a fabulous Juniors dog, Olivia and Conall together have earned first place at the GSCA National Specialty in Ohio in 2011, and two 3-point majors in the Breed ring. With hopes of achieving even more great things both in the Breed and the Juniors ring, we also encourage you to check out Conall's page from time to time.
This page is for "O-O" and her successes in the wonderful, yet sometimes frustrating world of dog showing!
