The most WONDERFUL BRAG of all is when you can tell ALL that there is a NEW CHAMPION is our midst! She is now CHAMPION SHANTY'S TANQUERAY! My God, that looks so good. Tanga's Team was flawless, as was our sweet girl! She so loves to get in that ring & do her thing, plus kiss the Judge, kiss Jerry, kiss everyone that comes close enough! We want to thank everyone that held off on the Saturday Show results until I got home & didn't fall asleep with my fingers on the keyboard! Tanga finished with ALL Majors, all California Shows, except for that win in Las Vegas, which is a distant suburb of California! :-) Tanga finished with 16 points (the extra one just cuz it was there) under the following Specialty Judges: Mrs. Jacqueline Rayner - BOW & WB 3 pts Mr. Don Smith - BOB, BOW & WB 4pts Mr. Gary Szymczak - BOW & WB 3pts MR. Dan Dwier - BOW & WB 3pts Mr. Fred Schmidtke - BOS & WB 3pts To ALL the above judges a very big heartfelt THANK YOU! You brought our dream to realization. It is impossible to put into words the way we feel right now! THANK YOU ALL so much!! Our Love & thanks to TANGA'S TEAM: Bill Tank, Sharlonna McGaha & Gloria Rice who got her career started in those "puppy & teenage years" More Love & Thanks to Tanga's other Mom SHERYL BROCKETT & Dad RODGER. Tanga adorns them, which makes sending Tanga off to "camp" a little less difficult. Tanga is trained to perfection by Sheryl who puts her heart & soul into every dog she conditions & trains. The magic she does is second to none. Her after the Show Care for owners, handlers & anybody else is an extra perk! We will need a blender at the National Sheryl! :-) What to say now? Tanga was blessed with the BEST in the West when it comes to handlers. We are fortunate to have many exceptional handlers out here, we love all guys, you make showing dogs a lot more fun! Tanga's "Major" love guy in the ring is the Master JERRY GUZMAN. Jerry finished Tanga's Mom CH. Talimar's DeJa Vu & now he has continued the family affair and finished Tanga! THANK YOU Jerry, there is no one better. We are looking forward to Tanga's future. In my first Brag about Tanga I made a Major faux pas. NOT to be repeated!! THANK YOU Dog Daddy CH. NIKECLAYFIELD CASANOVA you obviously gave DeJa your best! Thanks Dad! Well, for someone that was speechless I have carried on LONG enough, we are just so darn proud of our beautiful girl. For now she is HOME with us until the Fut/Mat are over & it's time to meet you all in St. Louis & our friends north of our border. Thanks for listening one & all. We will see you at Ringside real soon! Sharon Buckley & Jean Lallensack Shanty German Shepherd's Home of CH.
