The Northern California shows turned out great after only threatening us with rain. Thanks to The GSDC of Sacramento Valley and the GSDC of Reno for another four show weekend. A LOT of work and effort and co-operation and co-ordination!! We are so tickled that three of our Grand Victrix Mar Haven's Black Orchid sons did so well this weekend. They are littermates sired by Grand Victor Aregon. Three of the four owners are not on this list........so here goes..... Mar Haven's Bold Ruler ( aka Bodie ) picked up 6 points this weekend and got his second major and is now in the home stretch for his Championship. Thanks to Judges Jorge Noya, and Ken Downing and then Jack Newton. Bodie is owned by Gail & Rex Bixby and as always, was handled to all three wins by 'the ZacMan' Zac Hudspeth...( aka my Grandson.) As ALWAYS......a GREAT job Zac!! Full Brother, Mar Haven's Dark Knight ( aka Jackson ) picked up his second major under Ken Tank and is also in the home stretch for his Championship... handled beautifully by his owner Stacy Hayano. Their brother Select Champion Mar Haven's Johnny Black was Best Of Breed under Judge Ken Tank and Jack Newton ...owned by Hae J. Lee and as always, handled by co-owner and best friend Mr. Bill Basu. Thanks Bill. Fun to just watch, and see the entire litter of three boys do so well all weekend. ALSO... Mar Haven's Sweet Lelani did well at her first Specialty shows with two first place wins from the Novice Class handled by Alycia Partei and owned by Brigittte Kaneda. Lani is sister to the 1st 6 - 9 puppy dog at the National. Her sire is CH.Karizma's Sundance v Kaleef. Her Dam is a 'Booker' daughter. We so appreciate the owners of these dogs for great homes AND show careers. Thank again to 'the ZacMan', Bill Basu and Alycia and Stacy for their handling.
