While vacationing in beautiful Cape Cod, I received the news that my boy, Castle's Gandalf OFA, finished his championship with a 2-point win in Duluth, MN last Saturday under Judge Francine Schwartz. I continued to dance over the waves when the second call from handler Diane Brown came on Sunday telling me that Judge Charlotte McGowan gave him BOB and Judge Judith Goodin recognized him by giving him the Group III win! It was a weekend to celebrate! Gandalf is by BIS CH. Dan Ann's Scherlo Scout, TC, OFA and out of my CH. Castle's Queen Victoria, TC, HIC, CGC, OFA . He is my second home bred champion, and like his mom, finished with 16 points! A huge thank you to Diane and Tim Brown who handled and loved Gandalf from his very first point to the finish! You two are the greatest! I couldn't wait to get home to Illinois and back on the list to share my news! Pat Castle Kennels, Ltd.
