What great shows these are. The grounds are grassy, the rings large and the club members and hospitality shown couldn't be better. Of particular note is the 'Soiree' held after the show. It's awesome with great food and drink, good friends and great hosts. Thanks Cindy & Bev for a super time. Its worth going to these shows just for this party :-) Special thanks to Kathy & Mike Gray. Not only did they 'haul' me around but Mike was Show Chairman, Photographer extraordinaire (that's an inside story) and all around good guy. I had a super ring steward, Bev Peck who kept things moving and organized. The entry wasn't huge but it was good (it managed to hold 4 points). Winner's Dog: Paladin Dream Boat NCP. This is a handsome, medium sized sable dog with great temperament, attitude and carriage. He is balanced, masculine, clean coming and going. Excellent back and topline - beautiful over the top. Winner's Bitch: Eclipse's Rachel Carson. A very correct, feminine gal who I understand finished her championship that day. She is clean coming and going, excellent back. She just never put a foot down wrong. Best of Breed: CH. Jagan's Happyanunoit. Wow!! There aren't enough superlatives to describe this bitch. She overtly shows super temperament, is proper in size, gorgeous in type, extreme is movement. What a star. Best of Opposite Sex: CH. Castlehill-Mitterhaun Tuff Enuf. A really sound dog who exudes masculinity. He has very good movement, temperament and is an overall good representative. Best Puppy (and Reserve Winner's Bitch): Hickoryhill's Westy's Sassy Boheim. All 4 of my puppy winners were really excellent. But this puppy - from the moment she entered the ring in a class of 1 took my heart. She pushed the winner's bitch very hard. I predict we will hear more from this girl. If I could have I would have taken this one home!
