I have a few <VBG>; the first 3 are oldies but goodies: 1. Punky got her BIS first time she was shown as a Special. She had been entered as a class bitch but Henry moved her up, since she'd finished the week before. It was unreal and even MORE special than her Select (to me.) 2. Henry took Caralon's Ketchikan of Huslyn, CD into the breed ring and showed her in the Veterans Class as a favor to me. She was 9 at the time. When he brought her out of the ring, he said, "I could have finished this bitch!" (Ketchy was solid black.) I remember her floating around the ring--she was gorgeous. 3. In back to back specialties (Saturday and Sunday), The Kid took a major under Dan Smith and then Punky took a major under Muriel Sonichsen. Wow--what a feeling! 4. More recently (like 2 months ago) Brando earned a Major under Bill Daugherty, our puppy Roadie got the Major Reserve, then Tabu took WB and BOB, thus securing a major for herself--Holy Kielbasa Batman, what next?? (ALL were masterfully groomed and handled by Annette and Fred.) Penny in NY ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2007.
