Today was a special day for me and a very special dog. Zilla came to me in October 2011 from Sherry Nolan. Within a short amount of time I have grown to love him. He holds a special place in my heart along with the other 4 that live there also. It took him a little bit of time to remember what the show ring was about as he had been retired for about 4years. He gave it everything he has and has never disappointed me. Zilla has a Group 1 and 3 from the All Breeds and two Selects now from the only Specialties I have entered him in. He has given me a litter of puppies to carry on the great things he has to offer the breed, but most of all he has given Sherry and I unconditional love. Today under Charlotte LaRosa with Jon Beyer handling him, he went Select for the remaining points he needed for his Grand. I want to thank Jon Beyer for taking him in the ring for me, he looked great, also Jeff Pyle to has pioneered Zilla to where he is now and my good friend Sherry Nolan for giving me Zilla. Your fur kids from Mariah ( Dane, Tucker and Saydee) and the other 9 from Halley and Hanna say "Way to Go Dad" !!
