I am told by a few that I buried this awesome win in the middle of a few other brags. So here goes! We are very proud of our beautiful black Mar Haven's Black Orchid (BO) and her recent Best Bitch in Maturity win at the South Pacific Maturity. An exciting win for us. Thanks to Mike Metz for placing her over some really tough competition. BO gaited her way to the win in the twilight of the evening at the end of a very long day and at the end of the long loose lead of new "Top" handler Bill Basu. ( according to Evan ) <G> We seldom campaign bitches and BO has had an interesting show career, including winning a tough quality filled American Bred class at the 2006 National. She has both her majors, and now that she is finally back in coat, we can seriously campaign her. Thanks to the crowd support and incredibly nice comments....THANK YOU.ALL....we truly are thrilled.
