The bitch is not yet 2 and Steph has been doing this maybe barely a full year. With the sparse shows we have here in Utah she is still has very little experience...and has some success to show for it despite that. We are VERY proud of her! So...it can happen. And IMO it's all that much sweeter when it does. Liz in Utah Visit my website at http://hometown.aol.com/rckyiizard/index.html Liz, I'm glad yor friend and her dog did well. Congrats to both and I wish them the best!
