Today at the Lewiston-Auburn KC Show in Topsham, ME, Dendavian's Silent Thunder (a.k.a Birch, or The Big Guy) went WD and BOW under Stephen Hubbell for one point. Birch was bred by Denise Hunt and the late Mario Jannini, Sire is Hunt Club's Thunder Struck, Dam is Kamedon's Domino v Highlandacre. He now has 5 points, including a 3-point Major. The Big Guy was trained, groomed, and handled to perfection by Juli Lacey-Black, who had him at "Boot Camp Lacey-Black" for a week to fine-tune his performance for the A/B ring. This was only the 3rd time she has handled Birch, who has been shown primarily in Specialties. My thanks to Judge Hubbell for recognising the qualities of this awesome dog, to Juli for a Job Well Done, and to my wife Sally and Kennel Assistant Leslie Miller for helping me keep The Big Guy in top Condition. Birch's bevy of female Admirers were very happy to have him home again. The Big Guy and our Great Pyrenees Rescue, Elyse, are lying side by side, no doubt discussing events of the past week, the shows, and just enjoying being together again.
