Ny had wanted a Mastiff for so long. Large breeds were always a soft spot for the young woman but nothing ever seemed the right fit. Now at last she had her boy and the idea of showing him was an exciting one. Still, as she watched people groom their animals she couldn’t help but feel her inexperience made her stick out like a sore thumb. Bodean was a fine boy, he had completed his Puppy Behavior Test easily. Nothing seemed to phase him and even now, as Ny fretted, the young Mastiff was perfectly calm. Wearing a dopey slack jawed smile he stared out at the dogs around him. Those with toy breeds seemed to avoid the area around them. Bodean was an intimidating presence even so young. A large puppy with larger paws, displaying his potential size. Puppy class, working group. It would called soon. Taking a deep breath she pats the large pup. He gives a loud ‘woof’ in return, drawing the instant attention of all those around them. Such a deep sound. Face flushed with embarrassment Ny shoots to her feet. As an announcement rings out for the next round, thankfully drawing attention away, she brushes down her suit jacket, smoothing wrinkles. Bodean pushes his boxy head into her leg. “I’m alright Bozer. Just a little nervous. Are you ready?” He licks her hand and she laughs, wiping the drool on a towel before lint rolling the dog hair from her pants. “Ok then. Let’s do this.” Switching to his show leash Ny leads DK’s Nobody Else Above You into line, waiting for their turn. Nobody else above you. It would be true. It didn’t matter whether they won this show or not. Together they would keep moving forward, show after show. Stepping out into the arena Ny smiles, proud of the animal beside her. This show would be the first on a long journey. She could feel it.
