Today at the Putnam Kennel Club, Haley earned her last point. She started with a 3 point major under Charlie Mardez, then a 5 point major under Sandi Card, 6 points (after a litter) at all breed shows with me on her, and today Fred Freeman offered to take her in and she won beating another beautiful bitch with 3 majors, needing 2 more points to finish. We had lost to the other bitch the day before so it was nice to win today. We went in at around 9 am before the major part of the heat hit, so it wasn't too bad. Haley went BOB as well but we really didn't have an interest in staying another 3 hours in that heat waiting for the Group. It was forecasted to reach 96 degrees with very high humidity (not good for old folks like me or for the dog, I am sure.). So now we can start showing her puppies, Masstana's Midnight Kiss (1st Senior Futurity Bitch at the NE Fut) and Masstana's Midnight Celebration (1st Senior Futurity Bitch at the Mid Atlantic Fut). Another one out of that litter (Masstana's Mariah the Party's On) owned by Glen Murphy, already has a 4 point major and recently earned a 3 point major reserve under Pam Strosser (sp???) shown in just a few shows. Haley is out of Marhaven's Southern Lights, a Sel Ch Elvastons Southern Byrne ROM X Jericho's Avant Gard D'Arte ROM daughter and her sire was Sel Ch Witmer's Jamiroquai ROM. Big thank you to the judge (Sulie Greendale-Paveza) for pointing her finger at Haley today and of course to Fred who took her in and did a great job with her. Also big thanks go to Haley's special handler who guided her to both her majors, Sean Conboy.
