My crew and I enjoyed our very first benched show this weekend in Oaks, PA at the National Dog Show! I'm extremely proud to say that my Devine's Gunpowder N Lead "Mirada" was Reserve Winner's Bitch Friday and Saturday under judges Robert Shreve and Paula Hartinger! As always, Mirada was owner handled, and I couldn't be prouder! She showed beautifully! I also have to mention that I was benched with some absolutely wonderful Shepherd people, including Susan and Larry Legg, and Dara and Andrew Conklin. It was such a great time, and the spectators really enjoyed viewing all of our dogs. We got some great PR for the breed this weekend! Can't wait to do it again! -- Jackie & Jonathan Nguyen Marcato German Shepherds <http://www.sparkly-lion.net/marcatogsd> S Konzert vom Drachenberg, RN, CD, CGC "Strauss" Devine's Gunpowder N Lead "Mirada" ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2010.
