Or perhaps Mary Sue-Jane Ellison. I think the years have added names, and more people getting involved with the ownership of a dog. One, the breeder, one the owner, one to put up the money, and one to give the dog credit. Not to mention, Jane, Dave, Bob, Pam and Jeff. I hate to type some of these winners when I am typing in the shows, and find I cheer for the dogs with shorter names. And, as for Happy, don't get me started on those bitches.
