This is a tough one to put into words. I cannot explain or describe how special it was for us to have our unknown, out of coat, solid black CH.Mar Haven's Black Orchid become the 2007 U.S. Grand Victrix exactly ten years after her Grand Sire BOSS was U.S. Grand Victor in 1997. ( she is closely bred 3 times Color Guard ) We cannot believe this is our third one........BOSS, BONO and now BO.....<G> YAAAAAAAY!! Watching her go into that huge beautiful arena and gait up that white wall time after time with a flawless performance on a loose leash given to her by her handler Bill Basu from the time she entered the arena until she was finished hours later was a real thrill. To win with that kind of performance was the a tribute to both. Bill gave her HER loose leash from the beginning of each pass to the end...and she loves it and would go all day long while claming it all as her space. <G> We also loved seeing the 2007 G.V. CH.Welove Du Chein's ARMY OF ONE dog win the top honors also. AWESOME dog!! THANK YOU to Mr. Ed Barritt for finding both of them and a HUGE CONGRATULATIONS to ARMY's owners! We sure love his son..........<G> We thank everyone so much for all the wonderful clapping and support and nice comments. We will treasure them in our hearts and memories forever. An awesome experience!! Thank you ALL!! Frank & Carolyn marhaven@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx www.Marhaven.com ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2007.
