Athens Dog Show | Writing collab by Lilith-Ryder on DeviantArt (original) (raw)

Lillian Donovan had been hired to show two German Shepherds that she found incredibly gorgeous. One was named Speedy and the other was Freda. She was more than happy to show both dogs at the Athens dog show that was being held. She had picked up the dogs from the breeder before it was time for the show to start, a few days before so that the dogs could get used to her and being handled by her. She absolutely loved German Shepherds, it was one of her favorite breeds. As she had taken on two dogs for showing this time around, she asked a trusted friend to show the other dog for her so they would be shown together. It wasn’t uncommon for her to do this as she only had two hands and that wasn’t something she did at shows was show two dogs at the exact same time. Since the show was being held at the Temple Of Olympian Zeus in Athens, Greece, she did have to fly herself and the two dogs to Greece for the show which was totally fine by her. She stayed in a hotel with both dogs and loved watching them together. She was confident when she would walk them to go to the bathroom which also made them more confident in her hands. But while at the hotel she would stack them both up one at a time to keep them prepared for the dog show and would examine their structure each time. She was very delighted when she would stack them out properly and their structure shined through, she found them to be absolutely gorgeous dogs and she loved German Shepherds. Before the date of the show would roll around, she would take both dogs with her to places that were pet friendly. She would allow people to pet them and give them attention though nothing more. Then finally the show day came around and she was both excited and a little nervous. She had never shown in Greece before so this was overall a new experience for her but she absolutely loved putting new experience under her belt especially from being a dog show handler. She was in awe by the location of the show and it definitely was gorgeous. The view of the Ancient Temple of Athena at just the right angle was gorgeous as well. She lined up Freda within the square rings that were set up with white/silver posts lining the area with the Temple of Olympian Zeus as the backdrop for the show. The scenery of the location was really gorgeous and she adored it greatly. The sun was shining brightly onto her and Freda, and Speedy, making their coat shine even more. But she straightened herself out as she stood up and lined up with Freda to be more professional. The friend she asked to show Speedy also lined up with her. She leaned down and began stacking out Freda to show off her structure, Speedy also being stacked as well. She presented Freda in the proper stack and Speedy was as well. She would pull some small treats from her pocket when Freda started to a wiggle a little bit, wanting to keep her focused on something. Freda was a gorgeous dark sable German Shepherd and with fantastic structure, the judge examined her then had Lillian move quickly to get Freda to gait around. Her gait was solid as she moved before they lined back up. Next the judge examined Speedy who was a gorgeous looking black and tan masked German Shepherd. Speedy was examined by the judge the same way Freda was then her handler was instructed to get her to gait around which she did, her gait as good as Freda's. Their movement was great, both of them. After having them gait and lined back up, they were both rewarded and praised for doing good before they were stacked back out properly for the show.
