At the Santa Maria Specialties this weekend, Scherzar's Tapestry II, aka Tootsie, won the 9-12 puppy class both days. And both days, she got moved up in Winners's and was also awarded Best Puppy. Thank you to judges Dick Jones and Carlos Navarro for recognizing this youngster and your nice comments on her. This is only her third weekend out and her second weekend at specialties so she still has "puppy moments" in ring and does not quite have perfect gaiting conquered but I am sure it will come. Tootsie is handled by Art Sinclair and trained and groomed by Debbie Hopkins, aka Gray Dog Debbie. Thank you both for her wins this weekend. And thank you so much for the lovely comments on her from the other exhibitors/handlers. Tootsie has not been in four specailties and has a 4pt. major, 3 Best Puppies and 1 Best Oppsite puppy. If anyone would like to see a photo of her please contact me separately and I can email one to you. Congratulations to all the other winners. The Santa Maria Club always puts on a great weekend of shows. Tootsie was bred by Janice Staley and is out of Scherzar's Secret Desire (Elmo grandaughter) and is sired by my Strider, Ch.
