I'm happy to share that pending AKC approval "Vinnie" is now CH Pine Hill's pay To Play OVC. Vinnie, who just turned 2 the 4th of this month, finished on Saturday @ Chester Valley Kennel Club, Ludwigs Corner PA. Vinnie was started by Trish and helped on this journey by both Christi and Mike Reed when Trish had other commitments. I couldn't pass up a show so close to home! Great big thanks to Mike who I called very last minute and who showed Vinnie to perfection. It wasn't an easy task ~ such a happy dog when there is applause!!!! and when majors weren't happening/holding Vinnie was only out 4 times in the last 10 months ...eassshhhh.... combine happy with "young and silly who hasn't been out", first show outdoors since who-knows-when and throw in a couple of girls in season (and he knows what that means!)....not always a good combination! I shouldn't have worried ~ he looked wonderful Mike! Thank you to judge Mrs. Peggy Beisel-McIlwaine. Thank you to all of our ringside friends and club members for your kind words. Vinnie is by my CH Pine Hill's It's Time To Fly TC PT HT OVC (who also finished in a handful of shows at 24 months) and out of my lovely GV Army daughter, Alfaro's next Top Model CHIC who I obtained from Alan Milhousen. Thank you Alan!!!!!! Starting next month Vinnie has at least a year off to mature and to play in the performance rings. He still looks like the kid he is <G>.
