It was a long trip to Indiana and it was COLD, but what a wonderful time we
had!! We are THRILLED to announce that our "Yankee", Caisson's Unconditional
Surrender, was the FIRST Best in Amateur Maturity for the GSDCA, handled by
me (his breeder & owner). THANK YOU, Nancy Schneider for appreciating our
boy and not for making me run around the ring one more time :-). Now my goal
is to get in shape before the National!!
Yankee is by AOE BIS BISS Am/Can Sel CH Kismet's Sight for Sore Eyes HSCs TC
ROM and out of PAM CH Carousel Farms Caisson MX MXJ NF TD PT RN OFAh&e.
Yankee was bred by ME :-), Julie Degen, and I am lucky to share him with my
husband, E.J., and our good friends Nicky & Lew Bunch.
Later on Saturday at the GSDC of Central Indiana Specialty, Yankee was
Reserve Winner's Dog for a 4 point major reserve. But, to make the weekend
even
better, on Sunday under Janice Staley, Yankee was WINNERS DOG for a 4 point
major which also made him a NEW CHAMPION! THANK YOU, Janice for recognizing
Yankee's quality :-)
When Yankee was born, my husband wanted to keep HIM (I wanted a girl). He
talked me into keeping a boy and we decided to ask Nicky & Lew if they wanted
to share him with us. Nicky & Lew have been great friends and we thought it
might make the journey even more fun to share it with them. For the first
time since Yankee got a major reserve out of the 9-12 class last June at the
Kansas City Specialty, all four of Yankee's owners (E.J., Julie, Nicky, & Lew)
as well as our good friend Chris Kimerer (one of the breeders of Cassie,
Yankee's mom) were together at the show along with our kids, Jim & Keri. It
was
SO much fun sharing the joy, wins, and doubling :-), with such awesome
people. THANK YOU, Nicky, Lew, & Chris for giving me Cassie....without whom
we'd
never have Yankee.
Yankee has been to shows 3 of the past 4 weekends. He's been shown 11
times, gotten RWD two times, and Winner's Dog EIGHT times, for a total of 16
points & two majors. Thank you to the judges who have appreciated him,
especially
Dan Dwier for the 4 points in Raleigh, NC, and Janice Staley for finishing
him. Thanks also to Lenny Brown, Vanessa Fleming, and Jim Moses for all of
your help & showing Yankee at the all breeds & specialties in KY & NC. I
promise that my doubling WILL improve, Jim :-)
THANK YOU also to Scott & Loren Yergin for handling Yankee in Indiana at the
specialties and for ALL of your support & friendship. We really do
appreciate it :-)
Also, our daughter, Keri, debuted as a junior handler in Indiana. Two
months ago, Keri turned 9 and decided she wanted to try Juniors. Keri &
Cassie
still have a LONG way to go as a "Juniors Team" :-), but Keri had a GREAT time
and is eager to do it again. THANK YOU to the club, judges, & handlers for
making this such a positive experience for Keri.
