MidMassNewfers at the 2010 Putnam Parade!

MMN had another fabulous cart display at the Putnam Parade last night! Several from the group braved the cold and the end-of-Thanksgiving weekend traffic to join the festivities. We are very proud that two of the teams had never done any draft work before this year but they are hooked now! Great job everyone!

Big E Update!

Wins for Abby on both Saturday and Sunday! She took Best of Opposite both days. That girl is a head turner!

Nov 26 Big E - Good day for MMN!

What words can be said, just Awesome, Awesome, Awesome! Our MidmassNewfers did us proud again. Another Major for Abby and Mary Alice. Totally awesome. Abby had such great movement in the ring earning Best of Opposite and Grand Champion points. Trident took best of breed. He looked terrific. Monica showed puppy, Lucky (her first blue ribbon!), and Missy. Mary with Scarlet, and Suzanne with Ellie also did a great job today. It was nice to be on the outside to cheer our friends on. Awesome job by everyone. Good luck the rest of the weekend!

Draft Training at Amosville Nov 21

We had a great time at Amosville on Sunday. It is hard to believe that most of these dogs had not ever pulled a cart until a few months ago. They are getting to be pros! Thank you Beth and Keith for the photos!

Ozzy takes Winners Dog!

Monica showed Ozzy at the Fitchburg show on Saturday. He looked awesome, practically gliding around the ring.

The signature MMN banner!

It was a fun day of training! Two of our crew are heading out for the draft test next week so we set up a challenging course with lots of low and high narrows, lots of turns, a back out of the chute, a figure 8 and a few wicked distractions! And, of course, we ate a lot after we were done in true MMN style! Good luck to the teams next week!
