I love the brag below by Sandy Bruner about this young boy and this dog who is a BOSS son. What a team Duane and JETT were when they placed in Open Dog at the National as their work ethic and performance brought the house down. This young boy and dog is so much of what this sport is about. Thanks to all involved....those that have helped and encouraged Duane all along!! The 'big pay off' HAS to be in watching the 'team' win occasionally!! <G> I hope to see Duane in the winners circle for many years to come............ I have been updating our Web Site since our Black Orchid ( BO ) became 2007 Grand Victrix and realized how far behind I was. I am not good at it, and had lost any desire to keep it up after we lost BOSS and then BOOKER. But.... in working on our web site..... it finally dawned on me that BOSS has three sons that produced two Grand Victors and a Grand Victrix! He has two daughters that produced a Grand Victor and a Grand Victrix, and last year's Grand Victor was a BOSS grandson as HIS dam is a CH. daughter of one of the sons that just happened to produce the DOUBLE U.S. and DOUBLE Can. Grand Victor. <G> I still find myself bragging to the List about something from BOSS that is still winning even though he has been gone for two years....one being an extremely nice young male in S. Calif. that is his very LAST progeny from a litter of ONE........ from frozen semen. It still amazes me ........<G> We opened a notice yesterday from our Red Book Chair that BOSS is # 6 top producing sire this year!! How very grateful we are for BOSS and his life with us. Though he is gone, he still rules here. We are just so glad for our time with him..... and that we didn't miss "the dance" ........
