I know this is not GSD oriented, but since GSDs basically raised Pauli the Dalmatian, and I co-own her (basically my dog), I thought a small brag was okay. Pauli is now Best In Show Am. UKC BIS. Ch. Paisley ChocoChip Brownie Delight, CGC . She was BIS yesterday in MN under Katie Gammil. Not bad for her first Group I. She is just practicing this year and was a multiple group placer in limited outings. Her sire is Multiple BIS winner Argus - who is also a ROM, and her dam is a DCA Futurity winner and Multiple specialty winner. Pauli's brother just won his first Regional and are half sibblings to BIF Ch. Penny and Specialty winner Charlie Brown. What a year.. I thought I was done, but see one more trip in my future for Penny. This almost makes up for all the heart aches along the way. Pauli is owned by Wendy McCance and myself and shown by Laura King. Off to do laundry... Reality stinks! Jess M. From my ANDROID. ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2010.
