This weekend was our annual Turkey Circuit shows - always the weekend after Thanksgiving and usually majors. It was a very good weekend for us as we now have two new champions! On Saturday under rock'n'roll judge, Dany Canino, our sable boy, Utopia's First Edition of Linnloch (aka Harley) won the American bred class and went on to Winner's Dog and BOW for a 4 point major. Then, in American bred bitches Linnloch Showboat Du Mirage (aka Mimi) won the American bred class and went on to Winner's Bitch for a 4 point major and she is now Champion* Linnloch Showboat Du Mirage. Both handled to perfection by our awesome handler, Mr. Art Sinclair!!!! Then today under Steven Gladstone, Harley again won the American bred class and went on to Winner's Dog and Best of Breed over two specials include a multi BIS bitch. WOW!!! What a way to finish. He is now Champion* Utopia's First Edition of Linnloch! Thanks to Debbie Hopkins for stepping in and helping Art today with Harley in Winners and breed as Art was also handling the first place open dog and had a special. We are all so happy and as Paul says "doing the happy dance" in Belmont, San Jose, Oakland and Penngrove!" Ch.* Linnloch Showboat Du Mirage (Mimi) Sire: Ch. Linnloch Paper Chase Dam: Ch.
