That should be 2013 Dalmatian Club of America National Specialty... Still
excited and at some point, it will hit home.
One more brag. We also have a Top 20 Formal and my BIS bitch that I was BoS at
our National last year, won the Top 20 this year... Not bad for only having two
dogs entered :-)
There, done bragging :-) Very shameless.
