GVX Bella is home in California but I am definitely still floating in the clouds. Obviously this is a national we will never forget. Congratulations to all the fantastic animals, there were so many! Thank you Lew Bunch! The competition was spectacular. The ring was perfect for our girl who really likes to go and go. There are so many people we are  grateful to. Karen Taylor is the best friend and conditioner one could ever have. She has the uncanny ability to figure out what works for each dog in both road working and doubling whether using a "donkey" or "bad kitty" and always keeping the dog's well being the most important thing .  We want to thank Zac, or the big "Z" who helped with big ring training and reminding Bella she was a show dog. W e are extr emely grateful to Jerry Guzman who thankfully delayed his retirement a bit for that unforgettable trip around the big ring. Jerry has been with Bella from the beginning. There is not another handler who can make a dog look as good - we will miss him terribly. Thanks to Lorry Bellah and Jodi Bellanger for finishing her Canadian Championship in a few weeks span . Thanks to all our friends and supporters ringside, it would not have been as much fun without you there.  We will be having a big party to celebrate! Bella is now, 2010 Futurity Victrix, Canadian Select Champion, American Select Excellent GRCH Grand Victrix Jagan Lenlor's Solikehappy.
