Our Irish Terriers in Brace Competition
Brace competition means one handler showing two dogs at the same time.
The dogs are judged for their individual quality, their similarity in
character, and their unison of movement. A good brace shows consistency
in breeding. Showing brace is challenging for the handler and fun for the
audience.
Elena first tried showing brace at the 2010 Great Western Terrier Association
Show. She took Mocha and Druid into the ring and came out with Best Brace in
Show. This success encouraged Elena to continue showing brace when the
opportunity presents itself.
