Today at the Penobscot Valley KC Show in Cumberland, ME, Tam's Straight to the
Top decided to celebrate her 10th Birthday a day early by winning Best Veteran
in Breed, duplicating the same achievement she made a year ago on her 9th
Birthday. Not content with that, she went on to take Veterans Herding Group
4. And she did this with me handling her!! My thanks to Judge Pete Dawkins
for seeing the awesome qualities of this very special girl. And for
overlooking the fact that she was naked, due to blowing her coat for the last 3
weeks.
I showed Toppy in the 2002 show season before turning her over to a Handler,
and you could say that Toppy taught me most of what I know about how to show a
German Shepherd. She had singled out and needed only her two Majors to finish,
but in February 2003, she was hit with a case of Pyo so severe that we had to
spay her to save her life. She lost her chance at a championship, not to
mention the Litter she was carrying. So that makes her win today even
sweeter. She still has breathtaking movement in the Ring, and her desire to
win hasn't diminished a bit over the years. Toppy is a bit slower than she was
6 years ago, but that just makes it easier for me to keep up with her.
