First, today at the NE Futurity our Masstana's Midnight Kiss, Kizzy, won her Senior futurity bitch class over 5 other very nice bitches in the 91 degree heat. Being a solid black bitch was no fun in that heat, but she performed great and George B did a great job of presentation to get the job done. Judge Rita Sandell did a very nice job judging today with a nice entry, a brief rain shower and very humid heat. Kizzy's win is the 2nd one for us this year as her black & tan sister, Gala, also won a very nice Senior bitch class at the Mid Atlantic futurity earlier this year under Joe LaRosa. Both girls are by Ch Sirius Park's Kojak Bihari out of Masstana's Haley's Comet (14 points, both majors). Jack is a GV Bono son and Haley is a Sel Ch Jamiroquai daughter. The other brag is with regard to Haley. After a great start with Sean Conboy getting 3 points under Charley Mardez and 5 points under Sandi Card, she ran into a string of reserves, so we stopped showing her and bred her to Kojak. Last summer Nancy and I went to a few all breed shows and picked up another 3 singles. Then this spring I showed her in 5 more all breeds and picked up another 3 singles including 2 nice wins this past weekend where she went BOB one day and BOS the other. Both days she beat a champion bitch as well as several class entries. On the 3rd day she was the only class entry entered in bitches and only 1 dog was shown. The special went BOB so no points were awarded. But hopefully she will finish soon and the girls mommy will be a champion.
