Phew.... Back from a week in Tulsa, Oklahoma - our National Specialty for the Dals..... And what a week it was. If you are a Facebook friend, you already know how the week went, but just a quick recap. The week started with all of the puppies placing in various classes in Sweeps, Futurity and Regular. Topped off with my homebred, owner-handled Paisley Night at the Opera going Winners Bitch from 9-12 for her second Specialty 5 point major. Later that day, her grandsire Argus (Best In Show winner, DCA Specialty Winner and ROM), won the Stud Dog class for the 4th year in a row, including beating the Top Sire last year. As if that weren't exciting enough, the final line up went like this: Best of Breed, GCh. Krash (owner-handled - first showdog - sired by Argus), Best of Winners, Meribel (the judge who did breed also judged dogs, so BoW was a real surprise) and BoS, shown by me (along with WB) was my BIS GCh. Pauli, who is a sister to the Best of Breed dog.. Pretty darn exciting! Now back to packing for my camping trip this weekend!
