I thought Christmas had come early when Diane Brown called with the news from St. Cloud, Minnesota. Yesterday, at the Granite City Kennel Club Show, my boy, Castle's Gandalf TC, HIC, got his second major under Betty Capstick. He went Winner's Dog, Best of Winners, and then BOB over 4 Specials! Wow! What a gift! The day before, he went Reserve under Helen Miller Fisher. Gandalf is by BIS CH Dan-Ann's Scherlo Scout TC, OFA and out of my CH Castle's Queen Victoria CGC, TC, HIC, OFA. Thanks again to Diane for her expert handling of my Gandalf from his class to his big win, and also for loving and spoiling him in my absence! Also, thank you to the two judges who recognized and honored him with these wins!
