And what a weekend it was. CH Imp-Cen-Rowland's Tough Love - "ZELDA" - BEST IN SHOW. Berks County KC, entry of 1300 dogs. Thank you, judges: Carl Liepmann breed - June Penta group - Alan Bennett BIS (hey, we weren't in Canada for the Nationals but he is Canadian)! The herding group was strong but let me tell you, the best lineup was truly the best - the pointer, Margie's terrier, they were all there. We are truly humbled and thrilled with this win...... To my dearest and bestest friend Christi Halliday. CONGRATULATIONS - breeder/owner/handler Best In Show. Now that is something. (OK you can now die happy:)) Thank you for sharing Zelda with me, you know how much this means to me. To Connie - you have toughed it out for how many years - CONTRATULATIONS on your first BIS - may there be many more to come. Me - I am beyond words: a 3rd generation BIS. Thank you Christi for making it happen. The other weekend wins pale in comparison: Rowland's Heart of Eternity (EVA) winners bitch Saturday and Sunday - judges Houston Clark and Carl Leipmann. EVA is now 9 points/1 major... she showed like a dream. This is one MOVING bitch. Again Christi handling. Thanks to Mike Reed and Pam Roose for taking Eva in for breed. If anyone has read this far:) - congratulations go out to the exhibitors and their wins in Canada, what lovely lovely animals! Thanks for listening!
