Jim & I are thrilled to brag that our Caretti's Archangel OFA H&E was awarded Best Opposite Maturity at the Mid Atlantic Futurity/Maturity yesterday in Virginia. Huge thanks to Cindy Bartley for giving him the nod in such tough competition. Gabe's sire is Sel CH Braunhaus Samurai ROM OFA H&E, his dam is our Am CH, Can Sel CH Debric Caretti's Angelina OFA H&E ....To date, he has 11 points, 3 majors, but was not shown at the specialties before the Futurity....In residence with Scott and Loren for the last month, he was at all breeds cheering for his new buddy Ria who won yet another Best In Show! .........Jim & I also missed the specialties, but were able to kill a couple of birds with one stone during the weekend.....our niece graduated from high school at the Virginia Episcopal School in Lynchburg, so we were able to fly in, attend the graduation on Sunday, then drive to Fredericksburg for the futurity on Monday...... To go home with such an exciting win was icing on the cake! ............Many thanks, also, to the Virginia club members whose hard work resulted in a great weekend for all.....and thanks, of course, to Scott and Loren for such a great job with our Gabe.......Congrats to all the winners :-) Cyndi & Jim Flautt ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2008.
