We are very pleased to brag about a very talented JUNIOR HANDLER, NICHOLE DANIEL. NIKKI now co-owns RUSTY with us and they make an awesome team. In their first three outings together at the PRESCOTT AZ Kennel Club and SANTA ANA VALLEY KC (Calif) .... in a LARGE entry ... and with the ONLY GSD in the bunch: NIKKI presented Rusty exceptionally well and was awarded: Day one: 1ST OPEN SENIOR J.H. ... and ...~~ BEST JUNIOR HANDLER! ~~ Day two: 2ND OPEN SENIOR J.H. ... ( to the Best Junior Handler ) Day three: 2ND OPEN SENIOR J.H. ... ( to the Best Junior Handler ) Judges were Mr. Joseph Gregory, Mr. John Connolly, and Mrs. Marieann Gladstone. Some of the classes had 14-18 juniors in them. It was something to see. There were many kids competing who have BEST JUNIOR wins and/or have qualified for some of the major upcoming events. One of the juniors was our very own JESSICA BALDWIN who was 1ST OPEN INTERMEDIATE Junior Handler on Saturday at SAVKC with her Collie. Some of you may remember from previous posts that Jessica is the young lady who has handled Flower for us with "favorable" results - Winners Bitch and BEST OF BREED three times... definitely "favorable" <VBG>. Nikki's dog, Rusty, and his 1/2 sister, Bear Bear (Mom's dog), did well in conformation too. ~~ SAVKC - SAT - RUSTY was WINNERS DOG and BEST OF WINNERS!~~ ~~ SAVKC - SUN - RUSTY was Reserve Winners Dog~~ ~~ SAVKC - SUN - BEAR BEAR was WINNERS BITCH and BEST OF WINNERS!~~ Our sincerest appreciation to our "other" awesome handler, Mr. William Tank, and to our friends at ringside who were cheering them on so enthusiastically. And, of course, our appreciation goes to the judges, Mrs. Deborah Shanedling-Stern, and Mr. Bill Whaling. Congratulations! to co-owners and co-breeders: Rusty - RES.
