Yesterday, under Judge Ann Barbash, Von Hornberger Wilbur's Urban Cowboy, lovingly known as Buddy, went Best Puppy at the Northern New Jersey German Shepherd Dog Club Show. Buddy is sired by Ch. Kebre Kaleef's A.J. Von Hornberger and his dam is Von Hornberger's Jala of Jolin. Buddy was bred by Georgianna Von Hornberger and Charelen Mazepink. He is owned by myself, Brad Wilbur, and Georgianna Von Hornberger. Buddy was expertly handled by Olivia Calabrese - thank you, Olivia for doing such an extraordinary job with our boy!!! You are an amazing young woman and we were very lucky to have you handle Buddy. Yesterday, Buddy and I had such a great, fun day!!! Thank you Northern New Jersey for hosting such a nice show. This was our first Best Puppy and Buddy's first show. Thank you to Donna Calabrese and Linda Selmon for helping me double handle, groom Buddy, etcetera, since I had absolutely no clue what I was doing. I would have been lost without you guys. You made the day really enjoyable and a lot of fun. Thank you to everyone in the gallery who I met who had such kind things to say, were so genuinely kind, supportive, knowledgeable and provided me with helpful hints. I learned a lot and am incredibly greatful for the assistance. Thank you Georgianna for trusting and allowing Brad and me the opportunity to own and show this beautiful, precious boy. Yesterday, he was Best Puppy in the ring, but he will always be the Best Puppy of our hearts. And most importantly, thank you Brad for loving me, giving me back a part of my life I thought was lost forever and for loving our dogs. ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2010.
