On Father's Day weekend, we went to local all breed shows with some of our new folks and their dogs. It was fun-filled and more. Everybody won: new handlers; old (seasoned) handlers; new dogs; and seasoned dogs. SATURDAY was the birthday of one of our new folks, and her (first show) dog, was Winners Dog, Best of Winners and Best of Breed! over a male special. We pulled our specials bitch so we would have a better chance of getting her boy to the Group (with a judge who likes GSD's). It worked, and her dog, Schatzmar's Sidekick RN, HT was GROUP # 3! The birthday girl, Elizabeth "Betsy" Hartwig was elated with her special Birthday present! That same day, a nice young bitch, bred by Scootie, and owned by one of our new folks, was Winners Bitch! Hats off to Scootie for sending this very nice gal to our friend, Alice Cox! CARALONQED RASENHOF REDQUEEN (Ruby), now pointed & ROM Qualifier. Another "new folk" JoEllen Roman co-owns the RWD, PALADIN DREAM MACHINE NCP, CGC TC (Bobby). The RWB was PALADIN CAROLINA MOON NIKE CLAYFIELD, CGC TC (Yogi Bear) - both were from the Bred By class. JoEllen handled our girl in winners (making it her 2nd time handling, and she did great!) On SUNDAY: Our special, CH. PALADIN ALLEGHENY MOON KIM-SHAR, HIC CGC TC, aka "Bear Bear", was BEST OF BREED and GROUP # 3! Co-owned with Mom, Shirley Poole (Kim-Shar). PALADIN GOLDEN DREAMS NCP, (Katie) was WINNERS BITCH and Best of Winners. Katie is owned by Mike Guilliatt, (also new to showing). Sidekick was again Winners Dog, and Best Opposite Sex. ...And ... on Sunday, the RWD and RWB were the same as Saturday, THIS time, handled by my best buddy, GLORIA RICE ! Now, Gloria is not aspiring to be a conformation handler, BUT, I will continue working on her, (and JoEllen too!) :>). "Doc" did a wonderful job! Well, that is about it. Good friends, fun birthdays, new people, good dogs ... it was a fun-filled weekend, indeed. Sharlonna ~~~~ About the winners: BOB - BEAR BEAR and RWB - YOGI BEAR Ch. Casanova HT, CGC, TC, OFA x Ch.
