Pending AKC approval, today in Wrentham MA at the Wampanoag Kennel Club show under judge Dr. Thomas Davies, Bill-Mar's MaxiMillion of Kati-Rick became a new champion!!!! At just 18 months old and handled expertly by Philip Moore, Max became a quick winner early on. Max was bred by myself and Mary Ellen Loizides and owned by me. He is out of Ch Sirius Park's Santana and Bill-Mar's Ms. Trouble. I want to especially thank all those who gave him such great crowd support today. THAT was the real win!!! It felt like being at a surprise party where all your friends show up to give you hugs and kisses!!! Love these German Shepherd people!!! This was my first experience of really campaigning a dog and boy what a ride it has been. I can now put my suit case away and my 3 yr old grandson will remember my name, LOL! It is quite a feeling to actually plan a breeding, birth and raise a puppy and then bring him to this point. Thank-you again everyone who shared this with me, (taught me how to double, somewhat) and roll with game.
