Hello to all, Well--another dream come true!!! Just had to brag about my precious girl, "Cheradon's Jingle Bell Rock" -- aka "Bella" (Cheradon Erynbrook's L'il Firecracker X Ch. DePahl's Gideon v Heinerburg - bred by myself & Suzie Marshall) and her BEST IN NORTHEAST MATURITY win today. I am still up in the clouds on this one !! She didn't make a false step all the time in the ring--and when she went in the ring in "catalogue order" she was first--and she stayed there all thru the class of EIGHT BEAUTIFUL bitches !! I still cant believe it !! Thanks soooooo much to Judge Jean Whalen for this win--and of course to my dear Trisha Wylie for her expertise in handling Bella to this most prestigious win !! Trish is back in the ring and better than ever ! (watch out Jimmy ;-) Thanks so much to my dear friends, Sue and Dennis Mills (Trinity Mills Shepherds) for all their help in doubling & for their support and to my other dear friend, Denise Black Hollister for Bella's daddy, Ch. Gideon, who I love so, The weather was soo cold and the WIND was HORRIBLE ALL day. Just about blew us over (along with the tents). Thanks soo much to all the wonderful friends who gave ring side support and the hugs and congratulations to me after the show--you know who you are ! it was like being in a dream ! I am still floating ! Bella was also 2nd American Bred bitch on Sat, at the GSDC of Rochester Specialty, again in a really good class of bitches (I think there were 9 in class).....and my little sable girl, "Cheradon's Miss America v Achtung" (Cheradon's Drummer Boy--(Bella's brother)-- X Cheradon's O'Canada v WWK, bred by myself) who, for only her 3rd time in the show ring was 2nd Junior futurity Bitch, of course shown by Trish. Suzie Marshall co-owns Bella and America with me. Then, last but not least, I also have to brag about my handsome boy, "LasLar's Captain Jack Sparrow" (Ch. Candia's On Any Sunday, OFA X BIF, BIM, Sel. EX. Ch Hickory Hills Magic Marker, OFA - bred by Evan & Tedi Ginsburg & Dave Lasater) who placed 2nd in his Junior Maturity dog class, of course shown by Trish. "Jack" is owned by myself, Susan Mills and Dave Lasater. Jack was also 1st in his 15-18 month class at the GSDCA National this past fall & is litter brother to 2012 Futurity Victor LasLar Candia's Black Bart. THANKS soo much to Dave Lasater for the opportunity to play with and love and show this sooo handsome boy. He has a date with the vet for his H&E xrays next month, then he will be available to some lucky girls !! He is just beginning !! He will be out over the summer & hopefully finish--then on to the National with Bella. What a wonderful weekend-I hope I didn't forget anyone but I am EXHAUSTED & my arthritis is hurting and I really need to go to bed. zzzzzzzzzzzzzz Cant wait for the official pictures to come !! (Thanks to Pat Roda). Website is getting updated in next few days.
