Today at the Carroll Kennel Club under Linda Robey my baby girl Amari's Elizabeth Taylor went Winner's Bitch, Best of Winners, and Best Opposite over two very nice bitch Specials (and was given serious consieration for Breed over the male Specials) all OWNER Handled by me <VBG>. This was such a thrill since I have been bound and determined to make Lizzie my first owner handled Champion, and looks like she may just be. I have always loved owner handling my dogs, but have always had to hire a handler to finish them since I have always been able to single my own dogs, but Majors just were a dream to me, and I have always had to hire handler to finish my dogs since I just never could d it on my own. But with Lizzie I think my luck may have changed :) Lizzie is just 20 months, and she has been a thrill to how since day one. She won her first points at 6 months, Major Reserve at 6 months, and has several Reserves, including several Winner's bitch wins all owner handled by me, and shown sparingly since she is still a baby and most shows have been just for fun, and to keep her trained. Obviously, I think I may now have to take things more seriously with her since I am more determined then ever to get her "just right" so I can hopefully finish her myself :) Lizzie is out of my R/BIF Ch Amari's Ava Gardner TC and Ch Laxfield's Cold Cash HIT, and is bred/owner handled by me.
