After over three years of being enticed of going to "The Dark Side" and a nice puppy as a bonus I am now a client of Mr. Bill Basu. We always got along and I considered him a friend. It is going well. My puppy Rohan's Nadal of Jezra, bred by Tracy Radigan and Bill Basu went to his first show weekend going 1st 9-12, A 5 pt. RWD and Best Puppy. A dog dish and two buckets :-) I get excited over small stuff. I picked Rafe at 6 weeks and brought him home at 9 weeks. He is named after Rafael Nadal who plays tennis for those who don't know him, his nickname is Rafa but I thought Rafe was better for my puppy. He is sired by Sel. Gch. Mar Haven's Johnnie Black and his dam is Ch. Scherzar's Mandalay Bay. Thanks to Tracy for helping double Rafe, he loves her and to my good friend Nancy Hubbell and her son Kenny for strong support and of course all the friends at ringside. Thank you Pam Stoessar for such an exciting first show for my puppy Bobbie Kindy he went third under Charlie, that's dog shows but I left early to go watch my first love football. Great 49ers game, sorry Pam for the Packer's loss, they are one of my favorites. ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2012.
