Yesterday we had a very nice turnout for both clubs. Great judges, nice weather (a bit muggy in the PM) and only 4 absentees for the whole day. In the am under Judge Ed Barritt WD was the Parkhurst's young dog, Sirius Park's Santana (Carlos) won the open class and took the 4 points. I believe he also won 2 weeks previously at Central Mass under Debbie Hokkennam (sp?). Reserve was the Am Bred winner Scharo Ark Standing Outside the Fire. In bitches it was the Am Bred, Lyloak's Fresca who took the 4 points. Fresca also won the week previous under Brenda Newby in Albany. Fresca is litter sister to Ch. Lyloak's First Knight, both Army kids. Reserve was Stonewall's Dirty Look out of Nico and Looker. The BOB went to Ch Scharo Ark Fire and Ice and BOW went to WB. BOS went to Ch Nikiree's Summer Premiere. BP was the young dog shown by Fred Freeman, Ivy Ledges Private Eye. In the afternoon show under Judge Don Smith, WD was (I think) Stonewall's You're Not the Boss of Me (a Ch Mocha and Ch Esmeralda son) and RWD was Carlos. It win was worth 3 points. In bitches the Am Bred winner, Fresca, won another 4 points and finished. Big congratulations to Jason on this quick finish (3 in a row that I saw) and to her handlers, George Berstler and Sean Conboy. BOB went to Ch First Knight and Fresca was BOS and BOW. BP here was (I think) Sirius Park's Vegas Showgirl and BOP was Private Eye. All and all it was a very nice show with nice people being nice! Dogs looked great and the judging was crisp and consistant (at least to my eye it was). We showed two sisters in 12 to 18 and they both won. Masstana's Midnight Celebration (Gala) won her 5 dog class in the am and Masstana's Midnight Kiss (Kizzy) won her 4 dog class in the pm. Many thanks to the members of the GSDC of Rhode Island for their hospitality and assistance and to the Lindsay's (Bob and Sandy) for their great after show food fest at their house. We always enjoy going to this show and see our NE friends again.
