Hello Listers, We headed off to Phoenix for the specialties this past weekend. This was our first time at this location and what a good site they have. The barbecue they had for lunch on Saturday was excellent and the hospitality dinner was really good. We arrived on Friday and never left the site. The club put on a really nice show. Big kudo's to all of them! At the GSDCA Regional Show (the morning show), our bicolor went select under judge Frank Fasano for 4 points. Raven (CH Jim-Sina's Raven) was handled by Angelique Long. Raven was bred by Mr. Bill Laird. Then at the Grand Canyon Show (afternoon show), Raven went select again under Gary Szymczak for another 4 points. He was handled again by Angelique, who did a great job showing him. Thank you to both judges for recognizing Raven with these wins and to Angelique for taking him in. This was her first time showing Raven. These wins put Raven very close to his Grand Championship. We are so excited to be so close (3 points away). Raven will be our first dog that we have taken to the Grand Champion level. :-) Thanks for reading our brag, and congrads to all the others who did well this weekend. What a great time!
